In other words, you have no reason to worry you will be trapped in a single location for a long period of time, or be forced to rent an expensive car. However, renting a car is an excellent solution whenever a local’s car breaks down and they need a fast means of movement. While in the U.S. you would normally pick up the phone or go online and get in touch with some emergency mechanics or to have them come over and fix the broken ignition or stuck lock, you can do something similar in Barcelona.
