From Biarritz Train Station
Biarritz Train Station to Bilbao Airport (BIO) Private Transfer
There is no direct rail link between Biarritz and Bilbao Airport, and the train-plus-bus alternative takes most of a day. From Biarritz station, Anthony drives you to the terminal in Loiu in about 115 minutes for a fixed €403, tracking your TGV so that a late arrival on the coast still leaves the margin you need for check-in.

Your pickup at Biarritz train station
Biarritz SNCF station is in the La Négresse district, about three kilometres from the seafront, and there are no trams or metro to take you into town. A booked car at the platform exit is the simplest way to start your stay in Bilbao Airport (BIO), especially with luggage or after a long TGV ride.
- Meeting point: the platform exit, on the forecourt side of the station.
- Your train is tracked, so a late TGV or TER moves the pickup time, not the price.

- A WhatsApp message tells you where the car is parked as your train pulls in.

About Bilbao Airport (BIO)
Twelve kilometres north of Bilbao in the valley of Loiu, the airport is the point of entry for most international visitors to the Basque Country and the departure point for flights that Biarritz cannot offer. Calatrava’s terminal opened in 2000 and still feels new; everything is on two levels, security is quick outside peak hours and the gates are close. Spanish and international carriers serve Madrid, Barcelona, the islands and most European hubs.
From Biarritz station the drive is about 115 minutes on the A63 and AP-8, with the tolls included in the fixed fare. On the way back Anthony tracks the inbound flight, meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you to Biarritz station for your TGV or to your hotel anywhere on the French Basque Coast.
Highlights
- Calatrava’s La Paloma terminal, the busiest airport in northern Spain
- Flights to Madrid, Barcelona and most European hubs that Biarritz does not serve
- Departures-kerb drop-off and arrivals-hall pickup with the flight tracked
- Twelve kilometres from Bilbao centre and the Guggenheim, on the AP-8 side of the city

Bilbao Airport (BIO) to Biarritz Train Station
Landing at Bilbao Airport and taking a TGV from Biarritz is a realistic combination: the transfer to Biarritz station takes about 115 minutes door to door with no security check, so a train leaving four hours after your scheduled landing is a safe connection. Anthony waits in the arrivals hall with the flight tracked, and the return costs €403, the same as the outbound transfer.

At the platform exit, on the forecourt side, with the car parked in the short-stay area a few metres away. Biarritz station is a small station with a single exit, and a WhatsApp message on arrival tells you where the car is. Count 115 minutes from there to Bilbao Airport (BIO).
My train to Biarritz is delayed. Do I pay for the waiting time?
No. Give your train number at booking and the arrival is tracked; the pickup moves with the real arrival time and the fare to Bilbao Airport (BIO) stays at €403 whatever the delay.

€403 one way for the car and up to four passengers, AP-8 tolls included, for a drive of about 115 minutes over 141.4 km. The fare is fixed when you book, whatever the traffic at the border.
How long before my flight from Bilbao Airport should I leave Biarritz Train Station?
Add the airline’s check-in time to the 115-minute drive: two hours for a European flight with checked luggage, three for a long-haul connection, ninety minutes with hand luggage and online check-in.
