Sabadell switched its low-emission zone on in September 2025, with fines following that December, and it runs weekdays 07:00-20:00. A DGT environmental label is required — diesel from Euro 4, petrol from Euro 3 — or expect a EUR 200 fine, halved to EUR 100 if paid within 20 days.

Use the checker below to see whether your car’s label lets you in, and remember the fine is €200 (halved to €100 if you pay within 20 days). Rental cars are usually compliant, but confirm at the desk — the ticket, and the admin fee, land on you.
