Hire a car in Malaga
The city of Malaga has had an exciting
revival and if you’ve never visited, it may surprise you.
Malaga’s once run-down port has had a makeover: today it’s a place to enjoy a stroll and
watch the swanky cruise liners and yachts rolling in. The airport is a highly popular place
to hire a car, and with so many enjoyable locations within driving distance, it’s not hard
to see why. To top this off, it is also the best value destination to hire a car in Europe.

I want to hire a car at Malaga Airport, where do I collect it?
There are
over 20 suppliers to choose from if you pick up from Malaga Airport. Some of the desks are
in the terminal, including the biggest brands such as Avis, Hertz, Sixt, Europcar and
Interrent, others are a shuttle bus away.
When do I book my car hire?
It’s up to you, but supply does run short in
peak season and Malaga is a really popular place to hire a car. Remember, book your flights
first!
Why are some suppliers so cheap?
Often, the budget suppliers make their
money through added extras (these are not mandatory, but often may appear so at the rental
desk). The cheapest suppliers will also hold a large deposit on your credit card, to help
encourage customers to buy deposit reduction or excess waivers. If a price seems too good to
be true, check the small print carefully as these policies may not be as flexible as you
think.
Which car is right for me?
Car TypeAverage cost per day of car hire in Malaga
| Mini | £8.50 |
| Economy | £9.70 |
| Compact | £13.40 |
| Intermediate | £22.80 |
What is the most popular category?
The most popular choice of car
category in Malaga is ‘Economy’. This is the second smallest car category (‘Mini’ being the
smallest), and is perfect if you don’t plan on spending hours on end in the car. The make
and model of car will vary, but if you think along the lines of a Ford Fiesta, Seat Ibiza or
Peugeot 308 then this should give you a good idea of size.
‘Economy’ cars are easy to park, with good fuel economy. Generally speaking, these cars will
comfortably carry three adults and one large suitcase, but families should consider going up
a category to the ‘Compact’ cars to allow for a bit more space.
What if I change my mind and need a bigger car?
If your plans change,
worry not as at easyCar we offer free amendments on booking up to 48 hours before your
rental. Just log in to your account or give us a call.

Driving tips for car rental in Malaga
Don’t let the summer vibes get the better of you
Driving with one
arm outside of the window is a fineable offence, and you could be stopped for driving in
flip flops or barefoot! Finally, wearing sunglasses in a tunnel is banned.
Stick to the rules
Law enforcement on the roads in Spain is taken
seriously. The drink driving limit is strict, and police are known for doing random
checks. Another thing to bare in mind is that local driving can be agressive. Try to
stick to slower lanes unless you plan to overtake, so you don’t get in people’s way.
The A7 or the AP7?
Both these roads run along the Costa del Sol,
however AP stands for Autopista and these are toll roads. It’s totally up to you which
one you use, but the toll roads usually get you there faster.
