Top tips for renting a car in Bilbao

  • Here are some of the major roads you should know for getting around in cheap car rentals in Bilbao. Autopista AP-8 is a major toll highway that runs through the city from east to west, connecting Bilbao with other major cities in the Basque Country. Autovía A-8 is a free highway that runs parallel to the AP-8, providing an alternative route for getting around the city. BI-30 runs through the center of Bilbao, connecting the eastern and western parts. BI-631 runs along the southern bank of the Nervión River, connecting Bilbao with several suburbs, while Gran Vía de Don Diego López de Haro runs through the city's heart; it’s lined with shops, restaurants, and landmarks like the Guggenheim Museum.
  • Know your rental provider's toll policy before hitting the road in cheap Bilbao car rentals. The main toll road in the area is the AP-8 (Autopista del Cantábrico), a major highway that runs along the northern coast of Spain, connecting Bilbao with other cities in the region, such as San Sebastián, Santander, and Gijón. There are also two toll bridges in Bilbao. Bizkaia Bridge (Puente Bizkaia) is a suspension bridge that spans the Nervión River, connecting the towns of Portugalete and Getxo. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site known locally as "Hanging Bridge." Rontegi Bridge (Puente de Rontegi) is a cable-stayed bridge that crosses the Nervión River in the eastern part of Bilbao, connecting the neighborhoods of Barakaldo and Sestao.
  • If you'll be driving a cheap electric car rental in Bilbao, you'll find free EV-charging stations at these locations. Plaza Euskadi is a public square in the heart of Bilbao, and it has several free EV-charging stations available. Bilbao Exhibition Centre (BEC), located in the suburb of Barakaldo, has a free EV-charging station in its parking area. Parking Barakaldo is a parking garage in the center of Barakaldo, and it has a free EV-charging station available. Ondarroa Town Hall in the town of Ondarroa has a free EV-charging station in its parking lot.
  • Excited for your trip to Bilbao? Why not make the most out of it by renting a car? With a car you can easily access many of the cool and interesting towns and sights that are just outside Bilbao. For instance, the coastal town of Lekeitio, which at 70 km (43 miles) away is just a one-hour drive from Bilbao and is perfect as a short excursion.
  • Looking to pick up a rental car after landing in Bilbao? If your flight lands at Bilbao Airport you will find the rental car counters in the main hall of the airport, as well as just across from the airport in the parking lot.
  • Spain has a strict policy of no cell phone use when driving so drivers visiting Bilbao should make sure to keep this in mind. This is important to note because Bilbao’s many one-way streets can be confusing to navigate for those new to the city and it is highly recommended that you use a GPS device to help you get around. For many, their cell phones are their GPS, so make sure to either have a device to make your cell phone hands-free or have a passenger take over phone duties when driving in Bilbao.
  • Bilbao, like many cities in Spain, has four separate rush hour periods -- from 8:00 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and from 12:30 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. The reason for these four rush hour periods is because of the famed Spanish siesta. Many drivers rush to and from work during these hours to get home to take their mid afternoon siesta.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Bilbao for $27 or less
  • Book your rental car in Bilbao at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Bilbao are around 215% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Compact rental cars in Bilbao are around -28% cheaper than other car types, on average

Not your typical car rental company, and that's a great thing! Amazing how much customer experience goes up when staff are trained to SAVE customers money instead of pushing unnecessary add-ons. Personnel went above and beyond to deliver an amazing experience. If Léa is a reflection of the whole culture this company is going places.

They were courteous when I picked up the car. Spoke English well. There was not much of a wait to get service

Cons:

The GPS did not work well. The car would not start onthe last day of the trip and neither The Hertz office in Nice or in Spain would help. Allianz insurance would not help. The situation is still not resolved, I have spent 6 or more hours on the phone with only getting told "that I need to talk to a different Hertz office.

Pros:

car was new

Cons:

I booked a car for 6 passengers only to be told its not big enough for our luggage.I was given a bigger car that I had to pay for. Then I was told that the car I purchased didn't include any Insurance at all and that I was liable up to 25000 Euro. in all I had to pay approx. another $450 Euro for the car. I wont waste my time on the holiday complaining and reporting this abuse of vulnerable travellers(when they don't have another choice and cancellation is not allowed) but when I get back to Sydney I will be making formal complaints

Dec 2019

KAYAK

Pros:

The car was clean and well maintained.

Cons:

The pick up and drop off experience could have been better. The staff was not very knowledgable regarding local laws even though they get tourists all the time. The rental was supposed to cost 240$ but they placed a hold of 1000$. Not sure if they are gonna remove that, or I'd have to talk to customer care to get that removed. Drop off was exceedingly painful with no clear instructions.

Cons:

Hidden "surcharge" fee with tax on that as well of course. No idea what this is for. I pre-paid with kayak and returned the vehicle in good order and full of fuel. Maybe there's a good reaon for it but certainly isn't explained in the invoice I've been sent after returning home.
