Do you need to go on a short break, attend a business meeting or get around Barcelona without relying on public transport? Renting an electric car by the day or by the hour is a convenient, flexible and sustainable way to enjoy electric mobility without having to buy a vehicle.

With MEC electric carsharing, you can rent an electric car by the day or by the hour and enjoy all its benefits.

1. Save money by hiring an electric car by the day or by the hour

This is one of the main advantages of hiring an electric car with MEC, as you’ll only pay for the service you’ve booked, whether it’s for a few hours or a few days.

Unlike owning your own car, with the car-sharing service you won’t have to bear fixed costs such as the purchase price, a garage space, insurance, vehicle maintenance, taxes… What’s more, with MEC you can tailor the hire period to suit your needs, without paying for a car you’re not using.

  • Hire from as little as three hours: if you just need to run a quick errand or go to a work meeting, with MEC you can hire a car by the hour, without having to hire it for a whole day.
  • Pay only for the time you need it: depending on your plans, choose the duration of your booking. Whether you need the car for a few hours or a few days, tailor the hire to your needs.
  • No subscription fee: a major advantage of car-sharing is that its flexibility means you won’t have to pay a monthly fee to use the service.
  • Electric charging included in the price: forget about additional charging costs when hiring a car with MEC, as charging is included in the rate.
  • Promotional packages and reduced rates: at MEC we offer discount packages and promotions so you can enjoy your car hire for a weekend break or for travelling over several days.

2. Enjoy flexible mobility: hire by the hour or by the day

Another major advantage is flexibility, as unlike other car hire options, you don’t need to hire a vehicle for longer than you actually need it.

MEC’s car-sharing service is particularly useful if you’re looking to:

  • Make long-distance journeys, with the fast-charging service.
  • Make occasional trips around Barcelona.
  • Do some shopping or run errands that require a vehicle.
  • Organise a weekend getaway.
  • Attend a business meeting on the outskirts of the city.
  • Enjoy a day trip out of town.

What’s more, at MEC we offer a service available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Our car parks are also open 24 hours a day, so you can collect and return your electric car whenever you need to, without having to worry about opening hours. This gives you greater freedom and flexibility to organise your journeys at your own pace.

4. Forget about charging – with MEC, it’s included in your price

One of the questions you’ve probably asked yourself most often when renting an electric car is where and how to charge it.

With MEC electric carsharing, charging is included in your booking rate. What’s more, with MEC you have a direct link from the MEC app to the ZUNDER charging network app, which offers an extensive network of fast-charging points across the country and Europe. This makes it easy for you to fast-charge for long-distance journeys, with no limitations. For long-distance journeys, you should choose MEC cars with the longest range to best combine extended range with fast charging.

This allows you to enjoy the benefits of hiring an electric car without having to worry about booking an additional charging service.

Our car hire service, available by the day or by the hour, includes:

  • Electric charging included in your booking.
  • Access to a network of fast chargers.
  • The option to charge whilst on the move.
  • Greater convenience when organising your journey.
