KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in San Sebastian

  • Visitors to San Sebastian are highly advised to rent a car during their time there so they can take full advantage of what the city and country as a whole have to offer. There are many wonderful sights and towns to visit all within a short drive of the city such as up the coast from San Sebastian at just 50 kilometers (31 miles) away. And even closer there is Hondarribia, at just 23 kilometers (14 miles) away.
  • Travelers arriving at San Sebastian Airport will find that the rental car counters are located within the terminal’s Arrivals Hall. Simply follow the signs and you should have no trouble finding it.
  • One thing to keep in mind when driving in San Sebastian, and throughout Spain, is that it is prohibited to talk on the phone when driving unless the phone is hands-free. Additionally, it is also illegal to text and drive, even if you are stopped at a traffic light. So play it safe and leave any phone operating to your passengers, especially when it comes to navigating.
  • San Sebastian, while not featuring the most serious traffic during rush hour, does have a minor amount of congestion during the work week. In general, drivers can expect rush hour to start up at around 7:00 a.m. and to cool down by around 9:00 a.m., while in the afternoon it picks up at around 4:30 p.m. and finishes just around 7:00 p.m. Askatasunaren Hiribidea and Ategorrieta Hiribidea are two of the main roads that drivers will want to avoid during peak hours, as both often get quite congested.
  • Motorists will likely experience difficulties driving cheap car rentals in San Sebastian if their visits coincide with significant events or festivals. For instance, the Three Kings Day is celebrated in the first week of every January, bringing together people to share in the season of giving, while St. Thomas’s Day is observed in December by setting up a market in honor of the feast of St. Thomas. These events may lead to the closure of some roads, causing a significant traffic snarl-up town. You are thus likely to find delays at the car rental offices. Also, as you drive into rural San Sebastian, you will discover narrower roads and one-way streets, requiring you to move cautiously.
  • The legal minimum age to rent a car in San Sebastian is 21. However, the age may vary depending on the agency and class of vehicles. Some car categories, such as luxury and SUVs, have a higher minimum rental age, and you may be required to pay an underage driver fee. If you are a renter from a foreign nation, you must produce a valid driver’s license from your country of origin, which you must have held for at least one year. Furthermore, some San Sebastian car rentals may require you to produce a valid identification document, like a passport and visa, as proof of your legal status in the country. Transactions are through a major credit card registered in your name.
  • It is imperative to familiarize yourself with the standard traffic regulations before you hit the road in your cheap car rentals in San Sebastian. First, you will drive on the right-hand side of the road in San Sebastian and overtake on the left.  Common punishable traffic offenses include failing to stop at traffic signs or stop signs, speeding, and making illegal turns on the road. Remember, driving under the influence attracts punitive penalties. The Blood alcohol level while driving in San Sebastian must not exceed 0.5mg of alcohol per ml of blood.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in San Sebastian for $33 or less
  • Mini rental cars in San Sebastian are around 40% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in San Sebastian

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in San Sebastian?
