Another Car Hire Question
Just a thought for later in the year.
Has anyone either hired a car from Malaga Airport or know if you can if not coming off a plane?
I ask because probably the cheapest means of hiring is through the trawler sites with collection direct from the Airport, just look at the difference in price even if you use such a site and put in Malaga Train Station for collection.
Later in the year I may be coming over for 6 weeks / 2 months with the wife coming over for a couple of weeks. I would only use a hire car for time the wife is over as able to use a bus otherwise. I hate having a car that I am paying say £14 per day for just sat doing nothing for days on end.
I know you can walk from the car park to the car hire collection point and from there through the security gate into the Car Hire area as I have had to go back through in the past to record damage on collection.
However can you do this to attend Car Hire area to collect car when not flying as I could do that and then meet my wife??

I have never done it at Malaga, but I do know you can do it at a.n.other airport so I see no reason why you would not be able to do it there.

Re: Another Car Hire Question
We're regulars at Málaga Airport and I gave up using the onsite car rentals several years ago after horrendous queues, and use one 2 minutes away. So no reason why you shouldn't just do the deal online and turn up there.

Who is that with is it with Malaga car as they are just off the airport. Jo I forgot about them have used them in the past and had a good experience. I do agree with missile that cheapest is not always the best.

Re: Another Car Hire Question
Have you tried www.carjet.co.uk
They now list the provider before you book. I have used both carjet and doyouspain from Valencia without any problems.

Re: Another Car Hire Question
I used carjet for several years, (from Málaga) but after waiting in long queues, the last twice 45 minutes and an hour, I gave up on them and moved on. They used to be the cheapest, therefore attracted the biggest queues. I remember once we got in quite late at night, and there were dozens of us queuing down the ramp there, and on the stroke of midnight, like Cinderella, one of the two girls said that was her shift finished and left just one desk to handle us all. Nunca jamás! Most of them operate the full/empty fuel swindle, by the time you factor that in they aren't any cheaper. As I said, I haven't used them for several years so maybe things have changed, but I won't ever be using them again.
