Car Rental Malaga Airport Review

 Malaga is a major Spanish port city with a beautiful old center which you will fall in love with at the first sight!

What do Pablo Picasso and Antonio Banderas have in common? They were both born in Malaga!

You’ll get to know more striking facts about this city after you travel it all over the length and breadth in your car hire vehicle so let’s get straight to the point! How to make the right car hire choice?

What are the main Malaga car rental reviews to save your precious vacation time and money?

Choosing the best one among more than 150 car hire companies registered in Malaga doesn’t seem easy!

First you need to know that only 10 companies can provide you with a car right in Malaga Airport as soon as your plane lands there.

Picking up a car rental vehicle at the terminal is the most convenient, fast and cheap way to start exploring Malaga happily.

Why do you need to book online in advance?

We strongly recommend you to make your car hire booking in advance online. You surely can hire a car without any advance bookings straight at the airport rental counter but there are strong negative aspects of such rental:

1) It will take minimum 1,5 hour to check the company’s terms of service, fuel policy, insurance issues, any additional equipment issues, sign your rental contract…and that’s only after the queue at the rental counter gets to your turn!

2) If you haven’t made a booking online in advance you shouldn’t expect the car you want to be available. You will choose only among the cars that are left.

3) You won’t be able to get the most affordable prices. Without a booking in advance you’ll get the higher prices and probably no bonuses.

Local companies might have slightly lower prices than multinational ones but you’ll spend hours stuck in queues to local rental counters!

All companies’ car rental desks are located altogether in the same place at Malaga Airport.

Below you can get the entire contact information according to each car hire company at Malaga Airport and some photos to imagine how everything looks like there.

If you booked for “Meet and Greet”:

After you’ve arrived at Malaga Airport and collected your luggage go straight to the exit doors ignoring all the signs of “Car Hire” and “Rent a car”.

At the arrivals area a representative of a car hire company will meet you holding a sign with the name of their company. You will be taken to the minibus nearby and driven to the rental company’s airport depot where you will pick up your car.

If you haven’t met the representative of your car rental supplier for any reason, just go straight outside to the city bus stop – car rental companies’ shuttle buses stop there every 5 minutes.

Or just dial the phone number typed in your voucher to contact the company.

Malaga Car Hire Reviews – Fuel Policy

Full/Empty – Ideal for long trips and more than 3 days hires!

Take it full, return empty – that’s the most popular way to organize fuel consumption in car rental companies. So first mention that you must plan your trip to use the petrol to the full extent. Nobody would like to return the car with half of the fuel they have paid for! Note this because car rental companies do not reimburse the money for the fuel you haven’t used! Use the maximum of the petrol you’ve bought.

Full/full – Perfect for short hires!

If you’re hiring for 3 days or less some Malaga companies can offer you “full/full” fuel policy. This type of policy allows you to pay only for the petrol you use and not more!  Picking up a car with a full tank you don’t need to use it all. Just refuel the vehicle on the amount of petrol you’ve used before returning your car.

Mind these tips to start your marvelous Spanish holiday right now!

Don’t forget to buy authentic souvenirs reminding of the great time spent in Malaga! Castanets, colorful fans, leather flasks and traditional Spanish wine, of course, - strong sherry or sangria with fruit notes.
