Why choose Donostia for your road trip
Donostia — a city worth exploring
Donostia-San Sebastián sits on the Bay of Biscay, framed by Monte Urgull and Monte Igueldo at either end of its famous shell-shaped La Concha beach, which stretches for roughly 1,350 metres along the city's waterfront. The old quarter, Parte Vieja, packs in more pintxo bars per square metre than almost anywhere else in Spain, and the city holds three Michelin-starred restaurants, making it a genuine culinary capital. Stroll along the Paseo Nuevo promenade to the Aquarium of San Sebastián, then cross the river to the Kursaal Congress Centre, whose two glass cubes designed by Rafael Moneo have become an icon of modern Basque architecture. For panoramic views, ride the Funicular de Igueldo up to the Parque de Atracciones Monte Igueldo, an amusement park that has been running since 1912. Bilbao is just 100 km to the west, while the French border town of Hendaye lies only 20 km to the north-east, making Donostia an ideal base for cross-border day trips. The coastal roads here wind between green hills and sandy coves, well suited to campervan touring at a relaxed pace. A motorhome gives you the freedom to follow the Basque coastline without fixed schedules. Through Yescapa, you hire directly from local owners in and around Donostia, which means personal tips on the best routes, flexible pick-up points, and competitive pricing compared with traditional hire depots.
Best time to visit
Donostia comes alive in July and August, when warm weather draws visitors to La Concha beach and the Jazzaldia jazz festival fills outdoor stages across the city. September brings the San Sebastián International Film Festival, one of Europe's most prestigious, and campervan travellers benefit from slightly quieter roads and campsites. Spring, from April to June, offers mild temperatures ideal for coastal drives and pintxo crawls without the summer crowds. Through Yescapa, you can hire a campervan from local owners year-round, often at friendlier rates outside peak season. Book a few weeks ahead for summer to secure the best choice of vehicles in Donostia.

Where to park your motorhome
Parking a larger vehicle in Donostia requires a bit of planning, as the old town streets are narrow and restricted. Several car parks on the city's outskirts accept motorhomes and campervans, though height barriers apply at some underground facilities. Overnight sleeping in your vehicle is not permitted within the city centre, so use a designated campsite or motorhome area instead. Arrive early during summer weekends to secure a space near the beach zones.
- Parking Ondarreta, 2km west — Open-air car park beside Ondarreta beach, close to the Funicular de Igueldo. Suitable for campervans up to 6 m. Daytime parking only; no overnight stays permitted.
- Parking Anoeta, 3km south — Large surface car park near the Reale Arena stadium. Accepts motorhomes and offers easy access to the city via bus. Check height restrictions before entering.
- Parking Sagüés, 1km northeast — Located near Zurriola beach in the Gros neighbourhood. Convenient for surfers and close to pintxo bars. Limited spaces for larger vehicles; arrive early in peak season.
Frequently asked questions
Campervan hire in Donostia through Yescapa typically starts from around £70 to £110 per day, depending on the season and vehicle size. Summer months tend to sit at the higher end, while spring and autumn bookings often come in lower. Because Yescapa connects you directly with local owners, you avoid the overheads of large hire depots, which usually means better value and more flexible pick-up arrangements in the Donostia area.
On Yescapa, motorhome owners in and around Donostia list their vehicles with flexible collection points. Common pick-up areas include the Amara neighbourhood, the Antiguo district near Ondarreta beach, and surrounding towns such as Hernani and Lasarte-Oria. You arrange the exact meeting spot directly with the owner, so you can often find a location that suits your travel plans without needing to visit a central depot.
To get the best rates in Donostia, try booking outside peak summer months — April, May, and October often offer lower prices. Use Yescapa's filters to compare vehicles by price and type, and look for owners offering weekly discounts. Peer-to-peer hire cuts out middlemen, so you frequently find campervans and motorhomes at rates well below those of traditional hire companies in the Basque Country.
For couples or solo travellers exploring Donostia's narrow coastal roads, a compact campervan with two berths is ideal — easy to park and nimble on mountain routes. Families of four or five are better suited to a motorhome with a fixed bed and dinette conversion. On Yescapa, each listing shows berth count, vehicle dimensions, and interior photos, so you can match the layout to your group size before you book.
Yes, many Yescapa owners near Donostia welcome pets on board. Filter your search by the pet-friendly option to see available vehicles. The Basque coast is great for dogs, with beaches such as Antilla in Getaria allowing dogs outside peak summer hours. Nearby campsites like Camping Igueldo also accept dogs. Always confirm any pet policies directly with the owner when you book your campervan or motorhome.

Gareth
5 / 5
We have just returned from our 11 day trip in Jean’s fantastic camper van. Thanks to Jean and Emma’s good English the whole experience was very easy and relaxed. The van had everything we needed for our trip, touring parts of Germany, Austria, and France. As newcomers to camper van life we learned so much and were able to camp without the need to plug in to electric for days on end thanks to the great solar and battery system on the van and the on board water and waste tanks. Many thanks for a great holiday Jean and family! Thanks from Gareth & Samantha!

Thank you for an amazing holiday. We can't recommend this van enough. From the very first communication everything was 100%. The van was clean and had everything we needed for a three week trip. Everything was explained in detail and we were given advice and ideas for places to visit. We will be back again.
