Travelling during summer, Easter or Christmas can be a stressful experience if you don’t plan well in advance. Crowds, lack of availability of services and high prices are just some of the challenges travellers face during these key dates. That’s why booking your transfer is not only recommended, but essential.
In this article, we explain how to avoid setbacks during peak season and why relying on a service such as Transfer2Bilbao is the best decision to ensure a comfortable, safe and punctual journey.
Why is the High Season so chaotic?
The festive and holiday seasons are characterised by a significant increase in the number of travellers. This directly affects the availability of private and public transport, causing delays, endless queues and, often, unnecessary stress.
If you are planning a trip to the Basque Country, whether to enjoy the beaches on the coast, take a tour of charming villages or attend an event, you need to make sure you have reliable transport from the airport, station or your accommodation.
Advantages of booking your Transfer in advance
1. Guaranteed Availability
One of the biggest risks during peak season is simply not finding availability. Many people leave their transfers to the last minute, resulting in frustration and improvised solutions.
With Transfer2Bilbao, you can book your transfer weeks or months in advance, ensuring you have an exclusive vehicle at your disposal on the day and at the time you need it.
2. Stable Prices
In high season, taxi or private hire vehicle prices can skyrocket. By booking in advance with a professional company, you can avoid extra costs and ensure you pay a fixed, transparent fare with no surprises.
Check out the types of vehicles available to choose the option that best suits your trip, whether it’s an individual, family or group transfer.
3. Stress-Free Planning
Are you arriving by plane in Bilbao or San Sebastián? Do you have a train connection or an important event that you cannot be late for? Booking a professional transfer allows you to plan your entire trip with peace of mind.
You can even combine your transfer with one of our tourist routes through the Basque Country, making the most of your stay from the very first moment.
Which times of year require more advance planning?
Although any time of year is ideal for visiting the Basque Country, there are three periods when it is particularly difficult to find available transfers:
- Summer (July and August): peak tourist season.
- Easter: especially in cities such as Bilbao, where processions and cultural events are held.
- Christmas and New Year: with a large influx of visitors and family or corporate events.
During these periods, it is best to make your reservation at least 2-4 weeks in advance.
