Which car rental company should I book with at Pamplona Airport?

We focus on quality, not quantity. At Pamplona Airport (PNA), we partner with hand-picked national and trusted local companies to ensure you receive the best service. Car rental desks are conveniently located on the ground floor of the terminal building in the arrivals hall. After you have completed your paperwork, your vehicle is typically waiting in the dedicated on-site parking lot just 100 metres from the terminal exit. We actively monitor service levels at PNA to ensure a stress-free experience. If a provider's standards drop, we remove them from our site. Precise location details for your chosen vehicle will be clearly provided when you make a quote.

ALQUICOCHE

Book with Zest Car Rental at Pamplona Airport

We take a fresh, honest approach to car hire. Our booking process is simple: clear pricing, no hidden costs, and no small print to sweat over. We want you to relax and look forward to exploring the medieval kingdoms and high-altitude fells of Navarre.

Unlock the real Navarre

Pamplona Airport is the perfect starting point for discovering Northern Spain. With a rental car, you can reach Pamplona City Centre in just 15 minutes to walk the famous bull-running route. For a journey into the wild, the mountain fells of Roncesvalles in the Pyrenees are an hour's drive north. If you seek royal history, the fairytale Castle of Olite and its surrounding vineyard fells are a comfortable 30-minute drive south, all easily accessible from the terminal.

Navarre is a region of dramatic transition, from the lush, emerald fells of the Baztan Valley to the arid, lunar-like landscapes of the Bardenas Reales desert. A rental car gives you the ultimate freedom to follow the path of the pilgrims or find your own way through the ancient beech forests and mountain passes that define this historic land.

Our Fleet at Pamplona Airport

At Zest Car Rental, we offer a wide range of vehicles at Pamplona Airport to suit every journey. Whether you need a compact car for navigating the city's Low Emission Zones, a spacious SUV for a family trip into the mountain fells, or a premium vehicle for a comfortable drive along the Autopista de Navarra, we have the perfect fit for you. All provider-specific details can be found in your car rental terms and conditions.

One Way Rentals from Pamplona Airport

Pick up your car at Pamplona Airport and drop it off in Bilbao, San Sebastián, or even Madrid. One-way rentals are a popular way to explore the beauty of Northern Spain without needing to return to your starting point, giving you more freedom for your road trip.

Please note that each provider sets their own rules for one-way rentals, and some may apply a mandatory local fee. This is clearly shown during the booking process.

Driver Age Requirements in Spain

Can I rent a car in Pamplona if I am under 25?
Yes. While many providers apply a Young Driver Surcharge and may restrict access to specific vehicle categories, there are options available for younger drivers with a full, valid licence. Minimum age requirements typically start at 21 depending on the car group.

Can I rent a car in Pamplona if I am over 70?
Yes. Senior drivers are widely welcomed in Spain. Most standard rentals have no additional fees, though we always recommend checking the specific terms for your chosen vehicle.

What is the best time of year to explore Navarre by car?

The shoulder seasons of Autumn (September to November) and Spring (March to May) offer the most pleasant temperatures for exploring the mountain fells and historic castles. Summer is warm and vibrant, especially during the San Fermín festival in July, while the winter is ideal for seeing the snowy fells of the Pyrenees or enjoying the region's famous seasonal gastronomy.

Essential Tips for Driving in Spain

In 2026, the AP-15 motorway remains a tolled route toward Zaragoza, while the AP-68 is scheduled to become toll-free in late 2026; we recommend checking your route on arrival and asking your provider for the latest details. Using dipped headlights is mandatory in all tunnels and strongly recommended during the day for safety on winding rural fells. Your rental vehicle must carry a V-16 connected emergency light; geolocated beacons are now the legal standard in Spain, replacing traditional warning triangles. Additionally, be aware of the Pamplona ZBE (Low Emission Zone) which restricts access to the city centre; your provider will be happy to ensure your car has the correct environmental sticker for legal access. All specific details regarding your rental and the provider's rules will be found in your car rental terms and conditions.
