Carpool from San Sebastián to Bilbao

99
km by road
78
minutes by car

The AP-8 links Donostia and Bilbao with tolls and queues at the usual times. Alongside it, the Euskotren takes twice as long hugging the coast.

Carpooling between the two capitals means sharing that journey among the people already making it.


Less spending • Fewer empty cars • More sense in how we get around.

Bus, Euskotren or the AP-8 with tolls and petrol on you

The bus is the quickest public transport, but station to station and with fixed timetables. The Euskotren along the coast drags on and you pay for the whole AP-8 if you travel alone.

As a passenger you split the toll and the petrol and you leave when it suits you.

If you drive, we pay you €0.04 per kilometre and passenger.
