Why hire a campervan or motorhome in Basque Country
Basque Country — a region worth exploring
The Basque Country's coastline stretches for over 250 kilometres along the Bay of Biscay, where green cliffs drop sharply into the Atlantic and fishing villages cling to narrow inlets carved out over millennia. From the Guggenheim Museum in Bilbao to the elegant La Concha beach in San Sebastián, the region packs world-class culture and gastronomy into a compact area — just 100 km separates these two cities by motorway. Inland, the Rioja Alavesa wine district around Laguardia produces some of Spain's finest Tempranillo, while the Urdaibai Biosphere Reserve offers wetlands, forests and birdwatching trails ideal for a slow-paced campervan journey. Head south and you reach the Salinas de Añana, ancient salt flats still harvested by hand, roughly 65 km from Bilbao. The landscape shifts constantly: coastal roads wind past surf towns like Mundaka and Zarautz, mountain passes climb through the Aizkorri-Aratz Natural Park, and fertile valleys connect historic towns such as Gernika and Oñati. This variety makes the Basque Country a rewarding destination for both campervans and motorhomes, with routes that suit weekend escapes and longer tours alike. Through Yescapa, you can hire directly from local owners based across the region, choosing from converted vans to fully equipped motorhomes — a flexible, peer-to-peer way to explore at your own pace.
Best time to visit
The Basque Country enjoys a mild, green climate that makes it welcoming from spring right through to autumn. May and June bring warm days and fewer crowds — ideal for driving the coast in a campervan. Summer is peak season, with San Sebastián's Semana Grande festival lighting up the city every August. For food lovers, autumn coincides with cider season and the Fiesta de la Vendimia grape harvest celebrations in Rioja Alavesa. With Yescapa's peer-to-peer model, you can often find competitive motorhome hire rates outside July and August, so booking a shoulder-season trip is a smart move.

Most motorways in the Basque Country are toll roads, including the AP-8 along the coast and the AP-68 heading south towards Rioja Alavesa. You can pay at toll booths with cash or card, and electronic Via-T tags are also accepted. Speed limits for motorhomes over 3,500 kg are 90 km/h on motorways and 80 km/h on conventional roads.

Frequently asked questions
On Yescapa, local owners list their vehicles across the Basque Country, so you can arrange collection in Bilbao, San Sebastián or Vitoria-Gasteiz — the region's three main cities. Some owners also offer pick-up in smaller towns along the coast or inland, giving you the flexibility to start your trip closer to your first destination without a long transfer drive.
Yescapa's peer-to-peer model means you hire directly from private owners, which often works out more affordable than traditional rental agencies. To get the best rates in the Basque Country, try booking well in advance or travelling in the shoulder season — May, June or September. Use the platform's filters to compare prices across vehicle types and pick-up locations for the deal that suits your budget.
For couples or solo travellers, a compact campervan is ideal — easy to navigate the Basque Country's winding coastal and mountain roads. Families or groups of four to six are usually more comfortable in a motorhome with a fixed bed layout and extra living space. On Yescapa, you can filter by berths and vehicle size, so you will find something that fits both your group and the region's varied terrain.
Yes — many Yescapa owners in the Basque Country welcome pets on board. When searching, simply tick the pet-friendly filter to see available vehicles. The region is great for dogs, with long coastal walks around Sopelana and forest trails in the Gorbeia Natural Park. Just check each listing for any specific conditions the owner may set, such as size limits or a cleaning supplement.
Prices on Yescapa vary depending on the vehicle type, season and trip length. In the Basque Country, a campervan typically starts from around £70 to £90 per night, while a larger motorhome may range from £90 to £130 per night. Shoulder-season bookings and longer trips often bring the nightly cost down. Because you hire directly from owners, you avoid many of the extra fees charged by traditional hire companies.

We rented this camper van for a two-week trip through the Alps and southern france, it was fantastic from start to finish. The van was reliable and easy to drive, even on the steep, winding alpine mountain roads. It also performed exceptionally well on the motorways, with cruise control making the longer journeys comfortable and stress-free. The layout was perfect for two people. The rear seating folds out to a bed and pop-top roof bed provided plenty of space and privacy when sleeping. During the day, the seating area and well-equipped kitchen made the van feel comfortable and practical, while the retractable awning was great for relaxing outside on warm evenings. The owners were incredibly friendly and welcoming. On arrival, they took the time to explain all the features of the van and made sure we were comfortable before setting off. The return process was just as easy and straightforward. Overall, this is a fantastic camper van owned by a lovely family. We had an amazing trip and would highly recommend both the van and its owners to anyone looking for a memorable campervan adventure. We would happily rent from them again in the future.

Incredibly easy- Hector was there to talk us through everything. He was happy to answer all of our questions and gave us excellent practical advice. We felt fully supported abd it gave us a real confidence boost when we took control of the camper. We had to contact Hector during out trip sbout the van and he was on hand and easy to engage with. Ditto with our drop off. We loved using the camper: it was confortable and easily accommodated our family of 5 (including two teenagers!). It was a wonderful way to explore the Basque Country and we would definitely be up for doing it again.

Tuvimos una gran semana con la furgo, yo y dos hijos adultos. El dueño Samu fue de mucha ayuda por mensajes de texto para extra preguntas mientras estuvimos fuera, y nos llevó a la estación después de devolver la furgo
