Help! Getting from Barritz to SJPP

Has anyone rented a car from the Biarritz airport to get to SJPP? The Bouricott Express shuttle is full and the train is unreliable with the strike business going on. On Sept 8 we land in Barritz at 11:05am and we need to get to SJPP, check into the pilgrim office and are off to Orisson to stay that night. I know, squeezing a lot in. Any advice?

The one from Galicia (the round) and the one from Castilla & Leon. Individually numbered and made by the same people that make the ones you see on your walk.
You can get a taxi outside the airport we paid around 8oeuros I hope that helps have a good one
 
Start worrying around September 5th if the rail strikes are still on-going, and all Biarritz taxi companies are out on strike in sympathy with the oppressed rail-workers (unlikely).

Your itinerary is already pushing the limits of achievability. You should make the 14:52 train, or its Bus replacement with a similar time-table, arriving St J around 15:50. That will leave you with a 3 - 4 hours, depending on how much time you want to spend in the Pilgrims' Office and St Jean itself an on how good you are up-hill. Its only 8 Km but its all up-hill. It's likely you'll miss dinner.

A taxi from the air-port to Orisson would likely work out considerably cheaper than a one-way car-hire even if you could find one.

Thanks. I trust it will all work out and a taxi will be available
 
I would change my Orisson reservation to the next day, and relax St. Jean for the afternoon.
