Car rental San Sebastian Airport

The San Sebastian Airport (EAS) is located about 20 km from the city center, in Hondarribia on the French border. The airport serves limited domestic flights from Madrid and Barcelona, but is the most direct access point to one of the most beautiful and gourmet cities in Europe.

San Sebastian (Donostia) is unanimously considered one of the most elegant cities in Spain: the Playa de la Concha, with its crescent-shaped bay framed by green hills, is the most famous urban beach in Europe. The historic center (Parte Vieja) hosts the highest concentration of pintxos bars in the world, and the city boasts more Michelin stars per square meter than any other in the world. With car rental at San Sebastian Airport you also explore the Basque coast and the green inland. Compare rates on Tino Rent.

What to see from San Sebastian by rental car

With a rental car from San Sebastian you explore the Basque coast, one of the most spectacular coastlines in Europe. Hondarribia, on the French border, is a medieval village with colored half-timbered houses and a fortress overlooking the estuary. Getaria, home of navigator Elcano and couturier Balenciaga, is renowned for grilled fish and txakoli wine. Zarautz has the longest beach in the Basque Country, a surfing paradise.

The Basque inland hides the wineries of Rioja Alavesa (an hour away), the Arantzazu sanctuary in the Sierra de Aizkorri and the green villages of the Goierri valley. Biarritz and Bayonne, in the French Basque Country, are only 30 minutes away by car across the border. The flysch of Zumaia, with its spectacular rocky stratifications on the coast, was a Game of Thrones location.

Pintxos and driving in the Basque Country

The roads of the Basque Country are well maintained and scenic. The AP-8 motorway connects San Sebastian to Bilbao along the coast in an hour. The secondary coastal roads cross fishing villages with breathtaking panoramas. Parking in San Sebastian can be difficult in summer: it is advisable to use the underground car parks.

Basque gastronomy is legendary and deserves a dedicated trip: the pintxos of the Parte Vieja (creative gastronomic miniatures displayed on bar counters), the starred restaurants (Arzak, Mugaritz, Akelarre), the txuleta (grilled beef steak), fresh fish from the Cantabrian Sea, the txakoli (local sparkling white wine) and smoked Idiazabal cheeses are unforgettable experiences. Car hire in San Sebastian is the best way to combine gastronomy, coast and Basque culture.
