Airport Car Rental
Get your rental car at Malaga Airport! Then drive your rental into the center of Malaga and visit the famous Alcazaba Castle. Afterward, check out the Roman Theater next door. Take a walk through the city center to appreciate the architecture, visit the Picasso Museum, and top off your day with a visit to a local bar such as La Casa del Guardia or El Pimpi.
Malaga is a beautiful city with a lot of history, but one of its most popular attractions is the beautiful beaches. You can relax, swim, and do water sports, and make sure to visit a chiringuito, or beach restaurant. Trying local delicacies like espetos and coquinas is a must.
Malaga is a great destination, but the whole region has so much to offer. So why not get a longer-term car rental? Visit Granada or Cordoba and learn more about Andalusia’s Arab past, head north to Madrid, Spain’s capital, or drive your rental to the beautiful and wild Portuguese region of Algarve. You can even pick up your rental car at Malaga Airport and drop it off in a different city. Start planning your vacation now!

The airport provides assistance to passengers with reduced mobility, but you should get in touch in advance if you’d like this service.

Nearest gas station
The most convenient station for most renters is a BP station just off of MA-21 and just before the airport. It s located right next to Delpasso’s rental office.
Another BP station can be found at the airport. This is only convenient for those returning rental cars to rental companies located in the terminal.
If returning a rental car to OK, then you will need to use MA-20 instead of MA-21 (coming from Malaga). A block north of OK is a MADESE station.
If returning a car to Centauro, then you will also need to use MA-20 instead of MA-21 (when coming from Malaga). You can use the same station as OK renters, though it requires a circle. An alternative is to fill up closer to the city.

We was working around Coín and nerja so a car was very necessary. I would recommend car rental that is closer to the airport though as the buses can get quite busy and hectic especially if your traveling with kids. Ok if solo.

To be fair I fly into (and out of) Malaga and then head down the coast to San Pedro de Alcantara. I really need to spend more time in the city as I have heard good things about it.

The main road from Malaga to Marbella (not the Motorway) is very busy and you have to keep your eye out for cars joining it as they don't always stop. If you want a less busy route, the Motorway (payable) would be easier.
