Driving in Bilbao: What to expect on the road

Documents you'll need
You’ll need your driving licence, passport and a credit card to rent a car in Bilbao.
Most people can use their regular driving licence but you might need an International Driving Permit (IDP) if your licence isn’t in English. Rental firms also ask for matching ID and a credit card for the booking.
Navigating city driving
Bilbao has clear signs, tunnels and river bridges.
Driving is straightforward on main roads, though the old town has narrow lanes and limited access. Navigation apps help you follow river routes and connect with suburban areas.
Tolls, emissions zones and charges
Some major roads near Bilbao have tolls.
Bilbao itself has no local toll roads, but longer journeys may include toll sections. The city has environmental rules for certain vehicles, though rental cars typically meet requirements.
Parking your car in Bilbao
Parking is easier in car parks than in the old town.
Street spaces in central areas are limited. Multi-storey car parks near major plazas offer simple access to shops and museums. Park-and-ride sites are useful when visiting busier districts.
Finding fuel or charging points
Fuel is easy to find, and EV charging stations in Bilbao are increasing.
Petrol stations sit along main roads and in suburban areas. Charging points are growing near shopping areas and public car parks. Apps like PlugShare help you find chargers.
Local driving style and tips
Drivers are patient, but central lanes can feel narrow.
Traffic moves steadily along the river, while streets near the old town require slower speeds. Keep a steady pace, follow signs closely and watch for buses on tighter roads.
