How to get from Bilbao Airport to San Sebastián at night or early morning

If your flight lands at Bilbao Airport at night or early morning, you'll find that the PESA bus and the train don't run at those hours. The good news: the taxi to San Sebastián is available 24 hours, at a fixed price and door to door. We explain how to arrange it so the last part of your trip is the easiest.

The problem: no overnight public transport

Many flights —especially from low-cost airlines like Ryanair, Vueling or easyJet— arrive at Bilbao Airport late at night or in the early morning. At those hours:

The PESA bus to Donostia no longer runs.
The train doesn't operate either.
Transport from the airport to Bilbao city is limited and doesn't always match the flight arrival.

This leaves travellers heading to San Sebastián with a single practical alternative: the private taxi. And at unsociable hours, having it booked in advance is what makes the difference between arriving smoothly or being stranded in the terminal.

Common early-morning flights in Bilbao

Bilbao Airport handles many early or late arrivals and departures, especially from low-cost airlines with European connections. If your flight:

Arrives after midnight: book the taxi in advance; it will be your only option to Donostia.
Departs early from San Sebastián: we also cover the return, timing the pick-up so you arrive with a margin to check in.

In both cases, having the booking made avoids depending on the availability of random taxis in the middle of the night.

Tips for a smooth overnight transfer

Book in advance: especially for early-morning journeys, make the booking hours or days ahead to secure the vehicle.
Add your flight number: we monitor possible delays and adjust the pick-up time.
Share the exact address of your accommodation in San Sebastián for a direct transfer.
Free cancellation up to 1 hour before, in case your flight changes.
Keep your phone charged: the driver may contact you on arrival to locate you quickly in the terminal.

What if my flight is delayed?

No problem. If you provide your flight number when booking, we track its status in real time. If it lands later than expected, we adjust the pick-up time at no extra cost. The driver will be waiting when you leave the terminal, without you having to make calls or arrange anything at those hours.

Safety and comfort on the night journey

Travelling overnight with an official driver has obvious advantages: you know the price in advance, the vehicle is identified and the AP-8 route is direct. Compared with searching for a random taxi or waiting for public transport to open, a booked transfer gives you peace of mind exactly when it's most appreciated, after a long flight or a day of travel.
