Where to park your rental car in San Sebastián

Parking your rental car in San Sebastian can be difficult, depending on the area in which you move. Obviously, it will be quite difficult to park in the center of the city. Remember that Donostia is very well connected, so you may prefer to leave your car a little out of the city center and take public transportation.

The city has about 6,000 parking spaces, but many of them are regulated. The City Council has enabled a map to know the location of these parking spaces, their rates and schedules.

From Furauto we recommend that you park your vehicle in one of the subway parking lots that we show you in the following link. In addition, the city has several park-and-ride lots. Free or reduced-price parking areas connected to the center by the capital's bus network.

What is the traffic like in San Sebastian?

As you can imagine, rainfall is quite frequent in San Sebastian. In these conditions it is normal that the risk of being involved in a traffic accident increases, so we recommend that you drive more slowly and with greater caution to avoid skidding on the road.

With the arrival of summer and the summer vacations, you will have to be patient with the traffic jams that form in the metropolitan areas and city accesses. The A8 and the A63 are particularly problematic.
