Due to the pedestrianised nature of the city and the number of cyclists on its streets, it's best to confine your Vitoria-Gasteiz car hire choice to a vehicle that's as small as possible. With good roads and a relative lack of congestion, you won't need much more than that. The same is true of the roads in the surrounding area, but if you really want to go off the beaten track in rural Basque Country, get an SUV. Also, consider an electric vehicle that's more in tune with the city's environmental approach – EV charging points are plentiful.
