Cheap Car Hire at Bilbao

Most rental companies will require a credit card for the deposit, which is typically frozen in your account. Make sure to inquire about the specific deposit amount and the policy for releasing the freeze.

If you are travelling to Bilbao and considering hiring a car, choosing an in-terminal car hire supplier can save you time and hassle. Find suppliers with locations right at the airport, allowing you to avoid shuttle buses or meet-and-greet services and ensuring a quicker and more convenient pickup.

When hiring a car, especially if you’re arriving by flight, plan for extra time at pickup to accommodate any potential delays. Most suppliers offer a grace period of 30-60 minutes. Providing your flight number can be helpful, but if you’re running late, be sure to call the supplier to inform them.

If you have a specific vehicle in mind, opt for rentals that guarantee your chosen car type. This ensures that you receive the vehicle you expect, rather than being offered an alternative.

Before your trip, check online for available vehicles to ensure you find your ideal car.

Choose car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these often indicate better service, newer cars, and more convenient pickup locations. At Bilbao, we have car hire deals from suppliers. Among them FLIZZR has a rating of 5, Budget has a rating of 4.9 and Eco by Europcar has a rating of 4.8.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Always keep your rental agreement, identification, and insurance information easily accessible during your rental period. This can help resolve any issues quickly.
