Bilbao Airport to Irun Private Transfer





BIO → IRUN · BIDASOA · BORDER

Bilbao Airport to Irun private transfer and onward road connections to France

Irun's town centre, railway station, Ficoba and Behobia are separate arrival points in a city shaped by cross-border travel. If your journey continues to Hendaye or elsewhere in France, booking the actual French destination avoids ending the transfer administratively in Irun.

Private transfer from Bilbao Airport to Irun from €212

A private transfer from Bilbao Airport to Irun starts at €212 per vehicle for a journey of around 117 km and approximately 1 h 20–1 h 30 min, depending on traffic and the final destination. Pickup is arranged at BIO and the vehicle continues directly to Irun town centre, the railway station, Ficoba, Behobia, a hotel or the address specified in the booking, with no other passengers sharing the vehicle.

THE BORDER CHANGES THE DESTINATION

Irun, Behobia and Hendaye are different arrival points

Behobia and the Santiago International Bridge are crossing points over the Bidasoa towards France. For passengers continuing across the border, Irun is therefore not necessarily the final destination of the journey.

IRUN TOWN

Town centre and main station

Suitable when the journey ends at a hotel, private address, business or railway connection within Irun.

BEHOBIA

District beside the border

Behobia lies on the eastern border corridor of Irun. If this is where you are going, it should be entered as the actual final destination.

FRANCE

Hendaye is a separate destination

If your accommodation or station is on the French side of the border, the booking should continue to France rather than ending in Irun.

FAIRS AND EVENTS

Travelling to Ficoba? Use Avenida de Iparralde 43 as the destination

Ficoba, the Gipuzkoa Exhibition Centre, is located at Avenida de Iparralde 43, 20302 Irun. The venue has parking and is positioned away from the city's main commercial centre, so a business transfer to Ficoba can finish directly at the exhibition centre.

Ficoba also has a nearby rail connection towards Hendaye

Irun Ficoba station is part of the Euskotren corridor to Hendaye. This can be useful when Ficoba is one stage of a wider journey continuing by public transport.

Private transfer car from Bilbao Airport to Irun, Ficoba or Behobia
The final destination can be in central Irun, beside the Bidasoa or within the border area.
BORDER AND TRAFFIC

Incidents at Biriatu can also affect access to Behobia

In January 2026, Irun Local Police documented simultaneous disruption on AP-8, N-121-A, GI-636 and Behobia following a gathering at the Biriatu border toll. This is not a permanent condition, but it illustrates why journeys continuing into France can have different traffic considerations from a transfer ending in central Irun.

Continuing to France? Book the French destination

This allows the service to be planned around the border crossing and the actual arrival point from the outset rather than treating Irun as an artificial stopping point.

PUBLIC TRANSPORT

There is no direct bus connection from BIO to Irun

Current public transport options require at least one connection. Journey planners consulted put one public transport combination at around 2 h 19 min, while a bus alternative travelling via Bilbao can take close to 3 h 25 min. The choice becomes particularly relevant when the final destination is Ficoba, Behobia or a subsequent connection into France.

Minivan for groups travelling from Bilbao Airport to Irun and the Bidasoa border corridor
For trade fairs, business travel or itineraries with several stops, it is useful to define the complete route in advance.
WHEN IRUN IS ONLY ONE STOP

Ficoba, Behobia, Hondarribia and France can all form part of one itinerary

For a company or group requiring several drop-offs around the Bidasoa area, the journey becomes more than a simple point-to-point BIO → Irun transfer. In that situation, the stops and their order should be defined in advance.

BIDASOA AND ONWARD TRAVEL TO FRANCE

Choose the route according to where your journey actually ends in eastern Gipuzkoa

BIDASOA

Hondarribia

Hondarribia shares the wider comarca with Irun, but the transfer heads towards the coast, the historic centre or San Sebastián Airport.

≈115–119 km View transfer →
DONOSTIALDEA

San Sebastián / Donostia

The journey ends before reaching the Bidasoa and involves a completely different urban arrival point.

≈105 km · ≈1 h 15 View transfer →
FRENCH BASQUE COUNTRY

Biarritz

The journey continues beyond the French border; Irun should not be used as a substitute destination when Biarritz is the actual final stop.

Are you ending your journey in Irun or crossing the Bidasoa?

Enter Irun town centre, the railway station, Ficoba, Behobia or the actual destination on the other side of the border so your arrival from Bilbao Airport can be planned correctly.

OUR CUSTOMER OPINION

I had a 5:30 AM pickup for the airport in Alicante. The driver arrived 10 minutes early, sent a polite text to let me know he was waiting outside, and handled everything with absolute professionalism.

We used Zonetransfers for airport transfers back and forth during a family trip to Madrid. On-time pickups, comfortable vehicles, and very friendly drivers. Will definitely use them again.

We needed to get from Valencia to Barcelona with quite a few bags, so we decided to book a private transfer. The driver arrived on time, helped us with the luggage and we went straight to our hotel in Barcelona. It worked really well for us.

We booked a transfer from Lisbon Airport to Faro as we were staying in the Algarve for a few days. It was a long drive but the car was comfortable and the driver was friendly. We just sat back and enjoyed the trip instead of worrying about trains and changing buses.
