Car hire at Malaga airport

 Malaga airport is the main entrance and transportation hub for tourism in Andalusia and the Costa del Sol.

Malaga Airport has excellent connections with many European cities and has both scheduled flights and a large selection of low cost flights, which arrive in 2 to 3 hours to the sunny south of Spain.

Malaga airport is currently expanding and has since March 2010 a new terminal, the T3, which not only has a distinctive design and latest technology, but also offers both visitors and travelers a wide variety of shops, restaurants and cafeterias. Other outstanding news in T3 are a haute cuisine restaurant, La Moraga Airport, and the first branch of National Geographic in an airport worldwide.

In 2011 will be completed the construction of a direct access road to the airport and the second runway, which will double the capacity of Malaga airport, which will also have a very positive impact on the deals.

When looking for car hire, we can find the most popular car hire companies present at the airport. However I personally recommend one I know and I can talk about. Continue reading to know more about hiring a car at the airport.

When visiting Malaga for our holidays we have the option to hire a car at Malaga airport online. We should consider this seriously if we want to make some tours from Malaga as the most popular destinations in Malaga are not close from each other.

Marbella is about 50Km from Malaga city center, and there is no other transportation option but the road. Public buses take much time to arrive...maybe using them once is ok, but using them periodically is not recommended, even more in high season.

Touring Malaga, include visiting Nerja, Marbella, Puerto Banus or Mijas...but not only this, Sierra Nevada and Granada or Cadiz are close enough to worth a visit. For this and many other benefits, a rental car is a great choice, even more if we arrive to Malaga airport and we have to get to any area of the Costa del Sol.

Car rental at Malaga airport will be the most comfortable option for us to get to our hotel or apartment. Many hotels in Malaga offer parking to their customers, and I recommend to ask the hotel about parking avaibility before our arrival, as there use to be a limited size for the parking, the first who ask for a place the first who will have it available, but this is my experience in a few hotels only.

When choosing your rental car in Malaga, you should take in consderation what kind of vehicle will you need. It is not the same if we plan to drive for hours or just use the car for short periods of time, or if we plan to make tours from Malaga with our family or just alone or with a friend. We may need more space or more comfort when driving for long periods of time or with our family.

When thinking about our hiring a car, car hire Malaga airport is easy and fast. We just need to reserve online our vehicle as this will make us to avoid possible avaibility problems later. Do not leave until the last minute your car rental reservation; Malaga is a very popular destination , making our early reservation will not only benefit us on avaibility but on a cheaper car rental price.

My final recommendations are:

• Ask the company always about their fuel policy or any other question you may have so you will not have any surprise.
• Check the vehicle for possible scratches or any imperfection and notify to the personal on charge at the car rental desk. We do not want anyone to think we have made those imperfections.

Low quality car rental companies use to charge the customers on everything they can while a quality company will try always to satisfy the customer providing a quality service and a excellent customer support. There is a big difference, do not risk your holidays.

There is no doubt that the climate has been one of the determinants of tourism development in the province of Malaga and especially along the popular coastline known as Costa del Sol. No wonder, with more than 300 sunny days per year to enjoy. But the most climatic element that is most influent is the mild climate.

With an average temperature in January around 13 degrees and daytime temperatures frequently exceeding 18 degrees, the Costa del Sol offers excellent conditions for enjoying a good winter holiday by the sea.

In addition, summer temperatures are considerably lower than the interior of the peninsula, with an average of 28 ºC (82 ºF) in August that rarely exceeds 28 degrees.

These exceptional climatic conditions are influenced by two local factors: the sea which regulates the temperature by means of breezes like a thermostat and the coastal mountain range that acts as a barrier against the cold winds of the interior.

These exceptional climatic conditions, especially during the winter months, allow visitors a tan and to be skiing two hours later on the slopes of Sierra Nevada (Granada), the southernmost winter season on the European continent, and this is just one advantage of hiring a car in Malaga. Why not hiring a cabrio at Malaga airport?, feel the weather while driving and enjoy the mild climate of the Costa del Sol.
