GoCar - GPS Guided Tours

A: GoCar is the world's first computer-guided storytelling car. The clever talking car navigates for you, but that's not all. As you drive, it points out the sights and tells you the stories that bring Barcelona to life.

A: The tour can take as long as you like – that's the whole point. You go at your own pace, not the pace set by a tour bus operator. As you go, you're choosing the attractions you want to stop and see. You can take the tour in as little as one hour if your time is limited. You can also make it a leisurely day trip if you'd rather, stopping to explore attractions or museums along the way. It's totally your choice. If you're having the time of your life, keep exploring! It's a fantastic city and there is plenty to see. The average tour duration is 2 hrs 30 min.

A: Of course. Like we've said, you set your own pace. The car always knows where you are and you can park anywhere you want (motorcycle parking or car parking, following the normal parking rules) for as long as you want, and as soon as you start to drive again, the car will begin to talk!

A: Absolutely not! If there is a Barcelona sight you wish to see but is not yet included on the tour, just use the map we provide to navigate your own way through the city streets. You can even plug in your iPod or MP3 player and enjoy music along the way!

A: No, the GoCar is only 49cc and classified as a Cyclo-motor so can not go on any highways or motorways. The tour is designed to get you all over Barcelona and to all the key sights without the need to go on the highways.

A: GoCar can climb all hills with one person, but with a passenger onboard there are some hills that it cannot climb. The GoCar still manages to get to some of the highest summits of the city like Montjuïc and Tibidabo. The GPS guides you to the best approaches that the car can tackle.

A: Our pricing policy is designed to give you the freedom you need to balance your time and budget. GoCar tours start from a minimum of one hour and then get progressively cheaper each hour. After the first tour we charge in 5 minute intervals which means you are only charged for the actual time that you are out on the road enjoying the tour.

A: It’s easy to book a GoCar:
Telephone – call the reservations line +34 902 301 333
Online – you are able to book online up to two hours before you want to drive.
In person – call into our shop at Freixures 23bis bajo, Barcelona, 08003 Spain

We recommend that you make a reservation at least 24 hours in advance to avoid disappointment. GoCars can be taken out from 9 till 9 Mar-Oct and from 9 till 7 Nov-Feb.

There are a limited number of vehicles available for rental; therefore large parties may require coordination by our staff.

A:No, unfortunately you cannot use your debit card. For the deposit we accept only credit cards or, of course, cash. We are sorry about this inconvenience.

A: Our GoCars speak 6 languages! When you arrive, you may request a tour in Catalan, Spanish (Castellano), French, German, Italian or English. Across all language tours, the GoCar will provide clear driving directions and tour narration in your language of choice.

A: There are well over 50 historical points and landmarks along the guided tour.

A: The GoCar will do 60 kmph (35 mph). Note that drivers in Barcelona do not typically drive fast; therefore an average speed of 40 kmph (25 mph) or less can be expected while driving.

A: GoCar is powered by a 2 stroke petrol engine that achieves 25+ KPL. A full tank of gas will usually give a 100 km range. We are currently developing an electric version and hope to have it operational in the near future.

A: A maximum of 2 people are able to ride in the vehicle. There is additional space in the trunk for your bags, shopping or even a picnic.

A: Because of the restrictions of our insurance policy you must be over 21 years of age to rent a GoCar.

A: No, as long as you show us your driving license before you leave the shop then both drivers are covered within the rental price.

A: Yes, the daily Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) for the rental is similar to a car rental and costs €9,90/day for the GoCar if elected and covers all drivers.

A: It’s easy to find GoCar, we are located in front of the Santa Caterina Market, close to the main Cathedral off via Laietana.
