Important information about Málaga car hire

Can I cross the border with a rental car from Malaga?

If you opt for car hire in Malaga as a way of seeing this beautiful Spanish province, you are in for a driving treat. With some of the most stunning coastal roads to explore, the freedom of car hire in Malaga is one of the better ways to get around. Malaga is located quite a distance from the nearest EU border, which is Portugal, meaning you would have to take a very long road trip to reach it. However, cross border travel can be arranged easily, as car hire in Malaga allows for it within EU countries. You will have to pay a cross-border fee to cover insurance and taxes in the region, but your car hire company can arrange everything for you. It may not be possible to cross the border with a luxury car hire in Malaga though. If you were planning on taking a road trip down the coast to catch the ferry into Morocco, you would probably not be successful with your car hire. Click Rent is an example of a car hire company that prohibits ferry travel into Morocco from Malaga. Consider dropping your car hire off and picking up a new one in Morocco for this leg of your travels.

Can you hire a car in Malaga without a credit card?

When paying for your cheap car rental in Malaga, you will be able to do so with two primary methods: credit card and debit card. Car hire companies prefer credit cards for insurance purposes, and Visa and Mastercard tend to be the most favoured. Wiber accepts credit and debit cards but not cash. Delpaso and Click Rent favour credit cards, with no cash payments allowed either. In some cases, you may only be allowed economy car hire or passenger van hire with a debit card. It’s best to ensure you check the terms and conditions of your payment with the car hire company of your choice.

What driving laws should I keep an eye out for in Malaga?

Driving your Malaga car hire or electric car hire should be quite easy if you are used to driving on European roads. You will be driving on the right hand side of the road and passing on the left, so if you are not used to this, you may need to acclimate yourself a bit first. The roads are in good condition, yet in some of the villages you could find winding, narrow streets with local drivers who tend to be rather comfortable with fast driving. In these instances, it is better to slow down and observe the laws, as the Civil Guard has many roadblocks that may catch you by surprise. If you are pulled over, you will be expected to do a mandatory breathaliser test, so make sure your blood alcohol is under 0.05% whenever you are behind the wheel. Children under 1.2 metres in height will need to be strapped into a booster seat or car seat, and this can be obtained (along with other add-ons such as sat nav) from your car hire company. Always buckle up in the front and rear of the car, and never talk on your mobile phone whilst driving.

What documents does an international traveller need to hire a car in Malaga?

If you hold an EU driver’s licence, you will not need to apply for an international driving permit to hire a car in Malaga. You will be expected to produce your home country licence, which should prove you have been driving for longer than one year. Always take along photographic identification, such as a passport, if you are a tourist. In some cases, debit card payments may require you to produce additional paperwork such as an air ticket home. These kinds of conditions can be checked with your car hire company. You will be able to find multiple car hire locations in Malaga that can assist you in putting together the best possible package for your trip.
