Car hire

More visitors rent cars in Spain than any other European country. Car rental in Spain is the least expensive in Europe due to the strong competition and on the Costa del Sol car rental is no exception where it is relatively easy to hire a car. If you are flying to Málaga Airport or Gibraltar Airport, these are the usual places to hire a car. Find the offers by checking on our car hire pages of these airports.

However there are car hire offices located in all the towns along the Costa del Sol itself, so there is also the opportunity to hire a car whilst on holiday. This will enable you to do some excursions around Malaga province, or Andalucia or simply hire an interesting car for that special run about town.

On our main Car hire in Andalucia, Spain page there is additional info about car hire in Spain such as insurance, car hire groups, petrol policy and other useful tips.
