At 2 am two very tired guys handed us the key to their vehicle (after asking if I have a license). Got a ride to Bordeaux.Asked everyone in all the language we know
Reaching the place at night was not easy at all, we walked through the industrial zone with the truck then had to reach the truck rest area through a thin path seemingly drawn by a previous hitchhiker, climbed to the bridge and walked on the side of the highway entrance.

I started to ask around in English and after around 10min the workers at the gas station made it their personal business to find me a ride and asked the drivers in Spanish, which worked great. They found me a ride to Irun after 15min.―Anonymous

The other spot isn’t so good now because the majority of people in the vicinity are Portuguese cars that come to the gas station for cheaper fuel. Asked around and got incredibly lucky, a ride all the way to Irun with a French/Portuguese man. Don’t know what the alternative would be, maybe at the border crossing works better―Lmaoyz

Good spot for going to France!! We had a dog and Two big backpacks. And a older couple took us to Bordeaux and they were ready to take us all the way to Paris! Ask people and write a sign.!―NTKtriohitch

Best spot on my trip yet. Getting there was a bit rough but managable having to go through the Woods and over highway crossing car bridge from the industrial zone. Consider hitching a ride there instead of the bus. But once there i talked to 2 different people. And the second were some portuguese Guys that took me all the way to toulouse at 19:30! It doesnt really get better than that.―JamonWithRamon

Toll station. Go there with a sign. Stand on the side corner of the right lane to be visible for the people going to Donostia. Good spot.―JamonWithRamon

Took me a while but eventually got a ride to the border. Used a sign with "Francia". The traffic lights before this turned out to be better as they were red way more often and had a slighlty better placw to pull over.―VeikkaK

There is a stop Light, where cars nee to stop, so you can throw your thumb out and walk along the cars to wait for a positive reaction. Just by the stoplight is also a big paper bin, where you can take some cardboard from to make a sign. I Made one direction León, (Bilbao, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Burgos). After around 10 Stoplight phases a guy took me to Arrasate/Mondragon near Vitoria.―Anonymous

Very good gas station if you want to cross the border to France and going to, for example, Bordeaux―Anonymous

I waited no longer than 30 mins, lots of traffic and a safe place to stop. I stood just on the ramp that was heading towards Bilbao/Santander/South of Spain. Its only a 15 - 20 minute walk from the bay area―Anonymous
