Renting a car at Bilbao Airport: What documents do I need?

Typically, tourists won’t need more than four documents to rent a car at Bilbao Airport:

Driver’s license
Credit card
Passport
Booking voucher.

Please ensure your documents are legible and valid.

Traffic Rules

Once you leave the terminal, you merge straight onto the BI-631, where traffic flows briskly, and local drivers anticipate decisive, confident driving. Knowing these basics before going for a car rental at Bilbao Airport is essential:

Drive on the right side of the road.
Roundabouts dominate the access roads, and traffic already inside always has priority.
Urban speeds are capped at 50 km/h, rising to 90 km/h on secondary roads, 100 km/h on dual carriageways, and 120 km/h on autopistas.
Seat belts are compulsory for everyone, with fines reaching €200.
Drink-driving rules are very tight, allowing a maximum of 0.5‰ blood alcohol for experienced motorists and just 0.3‰ for drivers with less than two years on the road.

Parking

Parking in the central part typically costs about €2.65-€3.40 per hour in supervised facilities, keeping your vehicle shaded while you visit places.

If you plan to leave the vehicle longer, most downtown garages cap daily fees at roughly €17-€26.

Gas Stations

There are multiple round-the-clock fuel stations within about five kilometers of the airport on the BI-631 and in the direction of the city, making last-minute refueling before drop-off easy.

Diesel is typically priced at roughly €1.40-1.55 per liter, while petrol averages €1.50-1.65, with stations near the airport usually a bit more expensive than those farther out.

Toll Roads

The AP-8 autopista toward San Sebastián charges €8-10 for the full coastal run, offering speed and stunning Bay of Biscay views.

Free N-634 alternatives exist, but wind through every village and add 60-90 minutes, so weigh your time against the toll cost.
