FAQ
Do I need a special licence for a 9-seater in San Sebastián?
No: up to 9 seats including the driver, a standard European B licence is enough.
Do vans fit in normal car parks?
Surface ones yes; many underground parks have 1.9-2.1 m clearance and 9-seaters usually exceed 1.9 m. Check the height before entering.
