Due to the many narrow, winding streets in San Sebastian, smaller vehicles are highly recommended. Visitors renting a car in San Sebastian will find that a smaller car will make finding parking, in particular, a much easier task to accomplish. Additionally, small cars are the norm in Spain, so if you plan on visiting other cities in the country, a compact car will certainly be the best choice.
Roads in built-up and residential areas in San Sebastian generally have speed limits of 50 km/h (31 mph), while outside of such areas the speed limit jumps up to 100 km/h (62 mph) for regular vehicles. On highways and motorways, on the other hand, the speed limit tops out at 120 km/h (74 mph).
Parking in San Sebastian is not too difficult to find except in the historic centers of town. In those areas streetside parking is very scarce and difficult to find. The best option for drivers parking in those areas is to take advantage of one of the various parking garages nearby and then to go out on foot and use public transport from there. Residential areas outside of the town center do have plenty of streetside parking, though, so this is often is the main go-to option.

Pros:
The car was great and available for us at the airport.Cons:
The counter was very slow. It took 45 minutes in the line with 2 customers. Checkin could have been a lot better. Also they told us we can fill up gas at airport station when we return the car. When we got there to return car- the gas station was closed.One location in San Sebastian

Some San Sebastian car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend being aware of your coverage when hiring a car in San Sebastian.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a non-deductible option to your San Sebastian car hire.
