Ask about everything before taking a car

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 hire 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.

1. waited for 30 to 45 minutes in a short line. 2. my car was not available when i came to the counter and was told it would be another 30 minutes. 3. They offered me a mercedes and i took it thinking it was same rate as my van but found out later after i took the car that it was $600 per day. Most rental agency will give you an upgraded car for the same rate you reserved with the original reservation. 4. No notice that my original reservation was delayed. Could have saved me time waiting had I known that my car is not available and that i was going to be upcharged with another car. I suspect that is a practice they use to upcharge people on the original agreement. In summary, expect to wait for a long long time. If there are 3 or 4 people in front of you, expect to wate 45 minutes. They have 2 staff members working on paperwork rental and it takes 20 minutes per person to process the paperwork. Lots of back and forth. Expect that they don't have your car and that its going to be another 10 to 20 minutes before you get your car. Expect that the car they can offer you is an upcharge and that they don't give you another car with the original rate. Very disappointed with this branch of Enterprise. Car agencies normally can process the paperwork electronically within 5 minutes and will get you the keys to your car instead of waiting in line for 45 minutes.
