Overview
DoYouSpain is a Spanish online car hire comparison website that lets travellers search and compare real-time prices from the major car rental companies operating in Spain. Founded in 2002 by Josemaria Gayet and Santiago Renau, the company is headquartered in Castellón de la Plana and operates as part of the Gesmarket Internet para Vender S.L. group. Its core proposition is simple: aggregate the offers of top car hire suppliers in one place, show the full final price with no hidden costs, and let customers book the cheapest suitable vehicle directly through the platform. The service covers cars, vans, scooters and a range of vehicle categories including small, medium, family, SUV, automatic, luxury, electric and hybrid models. Users can filter by vehicle size, mileage, transmission type and other characteristics, and can choose between fuel policies such as Full/Full or Full/Empty with a refund for unused fuel. DoYouSpain does not own a rental fleet; it acts as an intermediary between customers and rental companies, earning its position by driving high volumes of bookings to suppliers who in turn offer their lowest rates on the site. Optional insurance is offered as an add-on to bookings. By 2025 the company reported more than 17.9 million customers over 20 years in business, with an average 4-star Trustpilot rating and a 4.5/5 score from over 85,000 customers. It has expanded its digital catalogue with an eSIM service launched in 2025 and has introduced an AI-based virtual assistant to answer customer questions. The brand is also the main sponsor of CD Castellón, reinforcing its local roots in the Castellón region. DoYouSpain sits within a wider group that includes DoYouItaly, launched in 2013 for the Italian market, and CarJet, a British company acquired in 2017 and repositioned for international markets with coverage in more than 50 countries. In 2022, Gesmarket Internet Para Vender SL was reported as the highest-turnover company in the Spanish web portal sector, with revenue of €151,016,142 and assets of €38,091,725. DoYouSpain remains an active, privately held brand focused on making car hire in Spain quicker, easier and cheaper to book.
History
DoYouSpain was founded in 2002 by Josemaria Gayet and Santiago Renau, who identified an opportunity in the car rental market. From the outset the company focused on providing a platform that allowed users to compare prices and book vehicles easily. Initially the service covered the main cities of Spain, and over time it expanded its coverage to include all provinces of the country. The company operates as an online comparison website rather than a rental provider. It searches and compares the prices of the top car hire companies in Spain in real time, presenting the available offers from large international brands and local rental firms. Because thousands of people visit the site daily looking for car hire, suppliers offer their cheapest rates on the platform. Users can filter by vehicle size, mileage, transmission type and other characteristics, and can choose between fuel policies such as Full/Full or Full/Empty with a refund for unused fuel. Optional insurance is offered as a complement to bookings. DoYouSpain belongs to Gesmarket Internet para Vender S.L., a Spanish company also headquartered in Castellón de la Plana. The group operates other brands in the vehicle rental price comparison sector. In 2013 Gesmarket created DoYouItaly, specialising in the Italian market. In 2017, with a solid presence in the Spanish and Italian markets, Gesmarket diversified further by acquiring the British company CarJet, which it fully renovated. CarJet focused on international markets, contributing to Gesmarket's global presence with coverage in more than 50 countries. By 2025 DoYouSpain reported having served over 17.9 million customers in 20 years of business, with an average 4-star Trustpilot rating and a 4.5/5 score from more than 85,000 customers. The company has integrated advanced price comparison technologies and collaborates with multiple national and international suppliers. It has also integrated electric vehicles into its offering, including sustainable cars and vans, and in 2025 expanded its digital services catalogue with the launch of an eSIM service, moving into the mobile connectivity market. An AI-based virtual assistant was introduced to answer customer questions. In 2022, Gesmarket Internet Para Vender SL, the company that owns DoYouSpain, was reported as the company with the highest turnover in the Spanish web portal sector. In the Ranking of Spanish Companies by turnover 2022 published by ElEconomista.es, the company ranked 36th in Castellón and 1,764th nationally, with revenue of €151,016,142. During the same financial year the company recorded assets worth €38,091,725. In August 2025 DoYouSpain published a market study on car rental habits and trends in Spain, analysing the industry's role within the tourism sector and highlighting Alicante as the leading city by rental volume, closely followed by Mallorca. The brand is also the main sponsor of CD Castellón.
