While there are public transport services in Málaga, organising a car hire at Málaga Airport gives you full freedom to explore the city and its surrounding areas at your own pace, and venture wherever you desire. You can get a bus or train from Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport to the city centre; however, having your own transport can be much easier than carrying luggage and waiting for scheduled transport at the start of your adventures in Málaga.
There is a generous selection for car hire at Málaga Airport, with a large number located inside the airport for your convenience, and some other Málaga Airport car hire companies with offices close by offering a courtesy shuttle bus service. You will find the main offices located in Terminals 2 and 3 of the airport, and once you have arrived you will see signs to direct you to these services, as well as to the shuttle bus to the offices outside of the airport.
Depending on the company you have chosen for your car hire at Málaga Airport, you will need to return your rental car either via the Car Rental Return area at the airport or directly back to the car rental office you collected your vehicle from. The offices for car hire at Málaga Airport that are located inside the building will usually use the Car Rental Return service, and you simply need to follow the signs to find it. Other companies provide a courtesy shuttle bus service to the airport once you have completed your car hire return.
Weekends tend to be the busiest times for car hire at Málaga Airport, with Saturdays usually seeing the most activity. If you are collecting or returning a rental car on a weekday, you may find a wait time in the late morning through to lunch time, so if possible try to get in early or later in the afternoon.

Which rental car companies are easiest at Málaga Airport?

What kind of rental car should I choose at Málaga Airport?
While of course choosing your particular vehicle for your car hire in Málaga is down to personal preference, it may be a good idea to consider a vehicle with air conditioning to keep you comfortable in the warm climate, and with a navigation system to help you navigate unfamiliar routes and roads. If you are sticking to the city and main roads, a compact or intermediate vehicle will absolutely cover your needs, however if you are exploring further and perhaps into national parks, an SUV may be a good choice.

The usual requirements for hiring a car while in Spain are to be over the age of 21 and provide a valid full driver’s license, passport, and credit card in your name. These requirements may slightly differ from company to company, but ensure that you have all of these when booking and collecting your hire car. You may also need to obtain an International Driver's Permit, so be sure to prepare this in advance.

Nice car, but they try to intimidate you to buy their insurance or else you’ll be stuck paying hundreds of not thousands worth of damages. Although I said I bought insurance through kayak he made it seem like that wouldn’t cover anything and I would be personally responsible for all the damage.

Never prepay anything... Wanted to switch my reservation to my wife's name. Not allowed. They made me cancel my reservation and rebook in her name. $500 cancelation fee. Not really acceptable as she was standing right next to me at the counter. Just another b.s. fine print screw the customer situation.

There is construction going on in the Malaga airport and the signs leading to car rental are all incorrect. We walked all over the airport before finally seeing a van with the logo on the side and running after it and stopping it to find out how to get a ride to the vehicle location. Once we got there the people were outstanding. Walked us through our rental, the charges, what to expect, really all we could ask for. The vehicle itself was comfortable and drove well. The drop off in Madrid was ok, but there was some damage to the vehicle that we ended up paying for that we had no idea happened. I'm guessing somebody hit us in a parking garage. Oh well, not the rental car companies fault, but it did put a damper on the return process.

Really pushy at the pick-up desk. Said that the insurance I purchased from Priceline wasn't valid and tried to sell me more insurance - really pushed hard for me to buy more. Then tried to sell me an upgrade that was 3x my daily rate, which was more funny than anything else. Rental car places are known for being a bit pushy and dishonest, but this was next level. I wouldn't rent from them again, and have been watching my credit card like a hawk for other "extra" charges.

Super easy pick up at the airport counter then a small walk to the garage at the airport to get in the car and go. No pressure on buying extra insurance or upgrading.

I liked that RecordGo were in the main airport terminal. The car was ready and reasonably new (around 20K km and with Apple CarPlay) and RecordGo said they were only interested in scratches of more than 4cm. No fuss, all worked well and I enjoyed several hundred trouble-free km in the vehicle. Drop-off at the end was equally easy.

Pick up process is incredibly complicated. They make you wait in queue to go up to the counter where they confirm your information only to be told to go fill in your document information at a kiosk. You then have to wait again to back to the same counter once you’ve filled all the information in. I did not like how this agency takes a fuel deposit, this was not mentioned anywhere prior to hiring the car.

Pickup experience was fantastic. The staff at the Malaga location were very friendly and helpful. However, we had a change in plans and needed to drop the car off earlier than expected and it would be before they open. Getting ahold of someone to figure out how to schedule that was a pain! I was hung up on 2x and when someone did give me a number to call, they reeled the numbers off super fast then hung up before I could confirm I had it correctly. I don’t think this is an issue with the Málaga location we rented from, but the main corporate lines customer service. Once we were able to get ahold of the right information, drop off went really smoothly.

It took me more than an hour to find and deduce that Goldcar was the intermediary of Ace, they had a little sign, hardly visible that said Rodeon. Price with Ace perfect. I decided for an upgrade at Goldcar (Rodeon) and it was ridiculous more expensive. A worthless GPS for 100€!!!. And I had to leave 2000$ for deposit plus €150 for gas, these amounts hopefully I'll get back to my credit card in a week.

I booked pick up for 11 am we got through quicker than expected but when I went to collect at 10.15 am I was told we would have to wait until 11 am so we had to sit in the airport car rental area wasting time. I can see no reason for having to wait. The car itself was scratched, clunky, not the VW Polo advertised and not similar in regard to the driving experience. The Vauxhall we were given was clunky. The tyres were not fully inflated. The oil light came on. The car was clean inside, but grubby on the outside. It had a car rental sticker peeling off on the driver door. The cost was high and poor value for money.

A quick overview of what to expect from Goldcar Malaga airport: 1. Collect keys at airport kiosk (your signature on the small card machine screen here will be incredibly dishonestly inserted onto a damage document accepting the damage to the car before you're allowed to view it - in our case claiming zero damage when this was far from true). For us this is absolutely unacceptable and the reason for the 1 star review. You will be up-sold additional insurance at this point for over 5x the price of buying from a separate company. Note if you don't take their insurance you'll need to pay the deposit of over 1000 EUR. 2. Go to car in carpark (you'll be told the bay number). 3. Review any existing damage to this car. Despite not being told to do this, at this point you should report any damage to Goldcar staff in the carpark or the small kiosk in the carpark. Make sure you take lots of photos at this point. 4. Use car as per the terms and conditions 5. Return car to Goldcar spaces and return keys. Again take photos to protect yourself. 6. If you have incurred damage (somone keyed our car) we eventually discovered you need to talk to the staff at the desk in the carpark kiosk who can confirm the cost of the damage (which we paid at this point) and provide a receipt if you have insurance from another company as we did. We wish the process had been much more clearly explained, experienced some (not all) rude staff members on returning the car, and witnesses a LOT of unnecessarily confused and frustrated customers upon returning the car. These issues should be easy to fix with clear communication and an honest approach to dealing with car damage.

Goldcar is the cheapest for a reason- they don’t make it clear to you that at the airport they want €1000 euro deposit that they will keep for 3 weeks after the booking. We followed instructions and dropped the car off in the designated bay, keys in the drop off box but were then charged a €70 fee per day claiming that the car had not been delivered. We were refunded this when they actually took the time to go collect the car. Never ever would I use them again
