English Abandoibarra and Guggenheim
Riverside hotels.
Bilbao is the capital of Bizkaia, with the Guggenheim, the Casco Viejo and a busy conference and business scene. Zonetransfers collects you at your hotel, flat, Sants or the port in Barcelona and drives you straight there in about 5 h 45 min, at a fixed price per vehicle.
About 610 km via the AP-2 and AP-68, roughly 5 h 45 min without stops from central Barcelona.
Rest stops are part of the service: usually one every two and a half to three hours.
Your Zonetransfers driver calls at your Barcelona address and drops you at the door in Bilbao. The most common drop-off areas are:
Riverside hotels.
Pedestrian area: we stop at the access.
Conference centre and exhibition grounds.
Private taxi from Barcelona to Bilbao: pick-up at your Barcelona accommodation and drop-off at your address in Bilbao.
A near six-hour drive makes sense for families with lots of luggage, house moves or company groups who'd rather not change vehicle.
Frank Gehry's building.
UNESCO World Heritage in Portugalete.
Pintxos and the Seven Streets.
The price is per vehicle and depends on how many of you are travelling: you don't pay per seat.
| People | Type | Price |
|---|---|---|
| 1 to 4 | Standard car | Fixed and shown before you pay |
| 5 to 8 | Minivan (people carrier) | Fixed and shown before you pay |
| 9 to 54 | Coach or minibus with driver | Groups with driver in Barcelona |
Mention bikes, skis or golf bags when booking: they go free. Details in our fleet.
One-way, return and stops are booked together; for several visits in a day, a chauffeur by the hour is better.
Return from Bilbao the same day or at the end of your stay.
Mention it when booking and we plan for it.
Meetings or site visits: Barcelona chauffeur service.
If you need to arrive at a set time, leave with margin: the driver works out the pick-up time with you.
Aste Nagusia (August) and major conferences fill Bilbao.
If your trip to Bilbao starts at El Prat, that's a different booking: the driver would meet you in arrivals and follow your flight. This page is for leaving from an address in Barcelona.
Departure from any neighbourhood, not the terminal.
Driver in arrivals at T1 or T2, waiting time included. Barcelona Airport transfers
It's about 610 km via the AP-2 and AP-68 and the drive takes around 5 h 45 min without stops. If you need to be in Bilbao by a set time, tell us when booking and we'll suggest a pick-up time with some margin. Rest stops are included and the per-vehicle price doesn't change, even if there's traffic.
Yes. It's about 610 km and roughly 5 h 45 min of driving on the AP-2 and AP-68, plus two or three rest stops included. Leave in the morning and you'll arrive mid-afternoon. The same driver does the whole trip and drops you at your hotel, office or home in Bilbao.
Yes: for a standard car or minivan, cancelling costs nothing if you tell us at least 48 hours before pick-up. For minibuses and group vehicles the cut-off is more than 96 hours. If you only need to move the date or time, message us on WhatsApp in advance and we'll change it, subject to availability, without a new booking.
Yes, often for sports teams, weddings, schools and company trips. Up to eight people can book a minivan online; for bigger groups we quote for a minibus or coach with driver, luggage included. Everyone leaves together from one pick-up point in Barcelona and arrives at the same time in Bilbao.

We booked a transfer from London Heathrow to Brighton for a few days by the sea. It was nice to get straight into the car after landing instead of dealing with trains and luggage. The journey was comfortable and everything went as planned.(10/29/2026) William Brooks
