KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Saint-Jean-de-Luz

  • Hiring a cheap car hire in Saint-Jean-de-Luz offers a convenient and hassle-free way to explore the city and its surroundings. With a Saint-Jean-de-Luz car hire at your disposal, you won't have to rely on public transportation schedules or wait for cabs. In addition, it allows you the freedom to discover hidden gems, go on scenic drives, and make impromptu stops along the way. You can easily explore the region's countryside, visit neighbouring towns like Biarritz, Bayonne, San Sebastian, or head to the Basque mountains for a hiking adventure.
  • The car hire offices at Biarritz Parme Airport (BIQ) are located in the Arrivals area of the terminal building, and they are within walking distance from the airport's exit. It's recommended to reserve a Saint-Jean-de-Luz car hire at BIQ in advance, especially during peak travel periods like summer. At Pau Pyrénées Airport (PUF), the car hire offices are also located in the Arrivals area of the terminal building. At Tarbes Ossun Lourdes Airport (LDE), the car hire offices are located outside the terminal building, but still on airport grounds. A shuttle bus runs between the terminal and the rental car offices every 15 to 20 minutes, free of charge.
  • Driving cheap car hire in Saint-Jean-de-Luz is relatively easy and straightforward, with well-maintained roads and good signage. However, there are a lot of pedestrians and bicyclists in Saint-Jean-de-Luz. Pedestrians are likely to cross the road abruptly, especially around the beach areas, so it is best to drive slowly and carefully. Overall, drivers in Saint-Jean-de-Luz tend to be respectful of the rules of the road. Lane discipline is generally followed, and drivers tend to drive defensively. Also, bicycle culture is strong in the region, and you should keep an eye out for cyclists.
  • Rush hour in Saint-Jean-de-Luz typically occurs during weekdays from 8:00 to 9:00 and from 17:00 to 19:00. During these times, roads leading to and from the city centre can become congested, especially on the main route D810 and its surrounding area. During summer, the city can experience heavy traffic due to high tourist activity and an increase in the number of visitors. It's recommended to avoid driving cheap car hire in Saint-Jean-de-Luz downtown on weekends and holidays, as congestion and limited parking space can make driving especially challenging.
