When we rented in Bilbao but stayed in Biarritz, every car rental company I checked charged extra to take the car to France. I saw generally 20 euros/day. I finally selected a provider that charged a flat 50 euro fee. The way they explained it, Spanish insurance isn't valid in France, so the extra fee provides coverage for that as well as if towing back to Spain is needed.
