KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Gijón
- Using car rentals in Gijón offers several advantages for exploring this vibrant city. With a car, you can navigate the region's stunning coastal landscapes and nearby attractions at your own pace. Unlike public transportation, a car provides flexibility and convenience, enabling you to reach off-the-beaten-path destinations and make spontaneous stops. This autonomy is precious for travelers looking to maximize their time and experience the diverse cultural and natural wonders Gijón offers. With Gijón car rentals, you can visit areas like the picturesque fishing village of Cudillero, the breathtaking Picos de Europa National Park, and the historic town of Oviedo.
- Asturias Airport (OVD) is the most convenient airport to land at when you visit Gijón. If you intend to acquire car rentals at Oviedo Asturias Airport immediately upon arrival, proceed to the Arrivals Hall within the primary terminal. On the lower level of the Arrivals Hall, you will find the service desks of these car rental companies situated on a single side. Car rental providers situated off site offer convenient phones and shuttles at the ground transportation zone to facilitate your transportation to their facilities.

Bicycles are pretty standard on the roads, and drivers usually show consideration for them. While trucks might be on the main routes, the city's compact nature minimizes heavy traffic. Jaywalking isn't a significant issue, and pedestrians typically follow crosswalks. Common vehicles include compact cars, small SUVs, and occasional mopeds, contributing to the city's laid-back driving atmosphere.
- Despite being a fun experience, car rentals in Gijón can present challenges for car renters. Rush hours, especially around 8 am to 9 am and 6 pm to 7 pm, can lead to congested roads, particularly on Avenida de la Costa and Avenida de Portugal. Narrow streets in the historic center might be tricky for larger vehicles. Limited parking availability downtown can be frustrating, prompting drivers to seek paid parking areas. Adapting to local driving customs and handling roundabouts can also pose difficulties for those unfamiliar with European driving norms.
