Pickup locations
Where to pick up a car in Toledo
Airport — Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport (MAD)
Toledo has no airport of its own; Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas Airport is about 75km north via the AP-41 toll road, roughly 50 minutes, with rental desks across all terminals.
Downtown — Toledo city center (near the train station)
Toledo's historic center (Casco Histórico) restricts vehicle access, so downtown desks sit just outside the old walls near the train station or Paseo de la Rosa.
