Bilbao car rentals

Coupes, sedans, and compacts are the best options for drivers choosing what kind of car to rent for their time in Bilbao. The city’s historical streets and alleys can be on the smaller side at times, and in such occasions small vehicles will certainly have an easier time navigating. Larger cars may also have some difficulty finding streetside parking spaces big enough for them in the downtown core.

Three basic guidelines dictate the majority of speed limits on roads in Bilbao. Namely, 50 km/h (31 mph) on residential and town roads, 100 km/h (62 mph) on larger roads in between cities, and 120 km/h (74 mph) on highways and motorways.

Drivers will find that parking spaces are amply available throughout Bilbao. In the downtown core the best parking options are often the parking garages and lots interspersed throughout the central business district. Outside of downtown, streetside parking should be easy to find and, at worst, you may have to park a block or two away from your destination.
