What renting an 8x3 billboard costs by city, what printing and installing it costs, and how to book it yourself.

Signing up and browsing spaces and prices is free. New advertisers get a 100 euro discount on their first campaign payment.

Renting an 8x3 metre billboard in Spain costs, according to 2026 public rates, between 312 and 450 euros a month in a small town or on the outskirts, between 400 and 700 in a mid-sized capital, and between 700 and 1,200 in the busiest areas of Madrid or Barcelona, excluding VAT. Printing comes on top: between 80 and 150 euros per fortnight on paper, or between 400 and 550 euros once for a vinyl that lasts the whole campaign. Another agency puts the average between 300 and 500 euros a month. On Publicit each billboard shows its location on Street View, its dimensions, whether it is lit and its price before you request it, and you book it from 500 euros per campaign.

8x3 billboard price by city

The price depends above all on location: how many people and cars pass by, and in which city. These are the figures two agencies publish, per month, excluding VAT and printing.

Per week, the same rates come to between 78 and 300 euros per face. These are rate-card prices: long campaigns or several billboards usually get a discount.

What printing and installing the billboard costs

The rent does not include the poster. There are two options: paper, changed every fortnight at between 80 and 150 euros each time, or vinyl, put up once for the whole campaign at between 400 and 550 euros including installation. Another agency quotes 400 to 480 euros for producing and mounting an 8x3 billboard. For a short campaign paper usually works out cheaper; for a long one, vinyl.

On Publicit each billboard's listing states what you must deliver (the final artwork with its dimensions and formats) and how far in advance, and whether the owner handles printing and installation.

How long a billboard is booked for

Billboards in Spain are traditionally sold by fortnight (catorcena), 14-day periods, or by month. On Publicit there is no platform minimum in days: the minimum is budget, 500 euros per campaign and 50 per day, and each billboard can require a minimum number of days shown on its listing before you request it.

How to choose a good billboard

Three things matter more than price:

  • Traffic and visibility. How many people pass and from what distance and angle it is seen. On Publicit the listing shows them when the owner publishes them.
  • Illumination. A lit billboard also works at night.
  • Surroundings. What is nearby: a shopping centre, a motorway exit or a station. Check the framing on Street View before booking.

What each outdoor space shows on Publicit

On Publicit each outdoor site is published by its owner with the data an advertiser needs to decide without calling anyone:

  • Location, Street View and photos. You see the street and the framing of the site before booking it.
  • Dimensions and illumination. Width and height with their unit, and whether the site is lit.
  • Viewing angle and distance, and daily traffic. When the owner publishes them, they let you compare sites in the same area.
  • Nearby points of interest. For example a shopping centre or a station, with its distance.
  • Price and model. Fixed, dynamic or negotiable price, usually per week or per month, or by impressions on digital screens. Some owners group several sites into a pack, the equivalent of a circuit.
  • What you must deliver and when. Dimensions, formats and how many hours in advance they need the final artwork.

How to buy outdoor advertising without an agency

On Publicit you buy directly from the owner of each site, from your browser:

  • Create an account with your work email. It is free and nothing is charged for browsing or requesting.
  • Search by city and site type. Billboards, bus shelters, mupis, buses, stations or digital screens, each with its price on the listing.
  • Set budget and dates. Minimum 500 euros per campaign and 50 euros per day. A site can require a minimum number of days, shown on its listing.
  • Upload the artwork and request. The owner approves or asks for changes, usually within 48 hours.
  • Pay on approval. The site's price plus a 10% fee and VAT. Payment is held until the owner proves the placement with a photo, video or document.

Not if the billboard already exists: the licence belongs to the site and is held by the owning company. Madrid's 2009 bylaw also holds the advertiser responsible for infringements, so it pays to book with a holder in good standing.
