May 11, 2012 Leave a comment

Our contact in Malagacar.com has told us they will soon release new discount code vouchers for car hire in Malaga during the summer season. Those waiting for the best deals should pay attention during this month of May.

How to get the new car rental discounts?

Just follow Malagacar.com in Facebook, Google+ , Twitter or subscribe to their newsletters and you are done.

What about car rental availability?

Malagacar.com has a fleet of more than 2000 vehicles and about discount voucher codes, it depends…sometimes are until end of existences and sometimes they release a voucher for the whole year.

What is the fuel policy for car hire in Malaga?

While other companies bill for a full tank of fuel, Malagacar.com offers half tank of fuel, enough for most of us.

Do I need my credit card for booking online?

No, under no circumstance malagacar.com will ask you for your credit card details online.

What about cancellation fees?

If you don’t have to pay in advance, that means…there are no cancellation fees! What if your holiday start a few days later, a new volcano erupts, or lollipops start falling from sky and planes can’t fly? it is good to know you will not have to pay any penalty.

Do I really need to hire a car in Malaga?

Well…you are not obligated!, but it is a good idea because in Malaga most popular destinations are not close to each other. Let’s say you are in Marbella, and want to visit Ronda (a must), or just visiting Malaga centre…distance is a bit large if not using a car.

Where can I subscribe to the car rental newsletters or check prices?

There are still big companies which preventing the high season increase their fleet of cars before summer so there is no special danger of availability, at least in Malaga. However I always recommend to book in advance, not only your rental car but anything related to your holiday.

My own experience and I live in Malaga is from a few years ago, when I wanted to book an apartment in Benalmadena, and left it for the last minute (I was meeting a friend)…it was really a pain to find availability, but we were lucky. However we had to stay for one night in a Torremolinos hotel before the apartment was free. What if this happens to you with all your holiday planned, a lot of luggage and with children?…well, I will tell you, the begining of your holidays would become a hell.

If you are thinking about coming to Malaga this summer 2012…you should book now and have peace of mind. find below my recommended holiday resources for Malaga province:

And of course….this blog, where I will try to provide with the most useful information and tips for your Malaga holidays.

The failure of a ‘rent a car’ left in the street to 180 workers and 1,300 cars out of the Coast

Español: Mapa de la Costa del Sol occidental, ...One of the main suppliers for car hire in Malaga, Auriga Crown has entered shutdown process.

I’m so sorry for the workers of that company, politics in Spain are more worried about absurd copyright laws than anything else (which in my opinion lacks of any sense), so their way out of this situation is complicated.

Tourists complain that they have not been able to hire a car at Malaga airport due to problems with the reservations with the company and the lack of vehicles of Auriga Crown.

I recommend if planning a visit to Malaga coming soon,check this blog for the latest news on anything related to the Costa del Sol and the southern of Spain. I only recommend websites you can trust and with a top quality service.

Auriga Crown website still online and offering car hire in Malaga, life continue and companies renew, it was the turn of Auriga Crown, and the service looks like to be better in Malaga!

Malaga is situated in southern in Spain right on the mediterranean coast. The city offers visitors a varied program of beach holiday, attractions and culture. Malaga is the sixth largest city in Andalucia and the capital of the Costa del Sol; the city is surrounded by high mountains, the Sierra de Mijas and Montes de Malaga with dense mediterranean pine forests. The climate is mild all year round and therefore are recommended flights to Malaga which last about 2 hours and are therefore also suitable for families.

Many airports offer flights to Malaga. Upon arrival at Malaga airport – Costa del Sol most probably you will be welcomed by sunny weather and blue skies. The airport is a hub for many travelers to the Costa del Sol. If you stay in the city, you can reach downtown Malaga directly with the public transport after the short flight to Malaga. Those who don´t want to travel in public transport, can get a car hire at Malaga airport, which is best booked before the journey. Some hotels also offer a free bus transfer from Malaga airport.

Malaga offers tourists a varied program. Because there are many attractions, particularly noteworthy is the Picasso Museum and birthplace. There you can admire more than 200 works from the Malaga-born artist. But there are also fantastic and buildings, such as the cathedral, a remodeled mosque or the Alcazaba, an ancient Moorish palace from the 11th century.

Of course, a big city like Malaga also has a large bullring, inaugurated 1876. In the building is also situated la bull fighting museum. If you will like relaxing a little bit then you sure will enjoy a cozy restaurant and the famous wine from Malaga. Who lives so close to the sea, also has the tastiest fish dishes, so just try “Pescaito frito“. The fried fish are available in many varieties. The cuisine in Malaga is very varied and you should definitely try it.

Costa del Sol, even more beautiful in the after season

Because of its subtropical climate that prevails there, you’re surrounded by the pleasant temperatures all the year round and about 320 sunny days per year; in addition mountains protect it from winds from the north.

For this reason, we are able to “warmly” recommend touring the region as well outside the summer months, when the life on the coast returns to a gentle pace. In low season it is much quieter and hotels and car rentals in Malaga are cheaper and relaxation on the 160 km of beaches is even more enjoyable.

In Malaga you can stroll along the beautiful promenade along the sandy beach or visit the Moorish fortress, which lies on a hill overlooking the city and enjoys wonderful views over the bay of Malaga.

A fantastic destination for a day trip with a rental car is for example, Ronda, an ancient town in the mountains of Malaga. You can stroll through the beautiful historical towns and relax in small cafes, while you look out over the ocean. Such a holiday on the Costa del Sol in the off season is a unique experience which you will keep in good memory.

A cheap flight to Malaga is really recommendable. Many companies offer cheap flights to Malaga airport including a hotel or apartment; In November and December we can find also very interesting deals for cheap car hire Malaga, just remember to make your bookings ahead of time for getting the cheapest prices.

If you still want to do a little more during your holiday, then you can explore with your rental car the towns on the Costa del Sol or the charming white villages inland from Malaga….Malaga is a great holiday destination all the year. Try it and let me know back your experience!

The month of August makes of Malaga a hot and populated city. Most of the tourists choose August as their prefered month when coming to the Costa del Sol, Malaga is a featured destination worldwide the whole year, but even more during this month.

What can we expect from Malaga in August? Well, if you like beach, sun and nightlife, August should be your month for coming to Malaga, on the other side, if you don´t like the sunny daily weather and populated places, then you better wait until September for coming to Malaga.

All of you who are coming this month to Malaga, should have already done all the reservation for getting the best deals on accommodation and cheap car hire…and if you are planning to come during September, now its the time for booking online, do not leave it for the last minute. (do not say I didnt remember it to you, I say this a lot, but it´s true)

I remember two summers ago, I met someone online, it was April  as I remember when we talked about taking the holidays together. She was living in Alicante and decided coming to Malaga. We forgot to make the apartment reservation, and belive it…it was really hard to find it by the end of July, prices were also too high.

Another own experience for you who are coming this month. Im getting to Avila the next Sunday by car and coming back the same day. Avila is a very beautiful city ( I have never seen it before) with ancient medieval castles and amazing landscapes, I will be passing by Toledo and some other interesting places…all in the same day. Hiring a car in Malaga is a  must, really…you can get to many places inside and outside Andalucia in the same day. If coming to Malaga, why not getting the most from your visit to the Costa del Sol?

Car hire Reviews: Avis Malaga airport

June 13, 2011 2 comments

AVIS Cool Car is a Cargo Van

If you are visiting Malaga and considering hiring a car with Avis,  read below some of the opinions of users who have used Avis when hiring a car, either in Malaga and elsewhere. I have translated into English the reviews of the famous portal CIAO, and whenever possible I always try to include both positive and negative opinions about Avis or other review is made on the blog, but only if I consider that the reviews are legitimate.

Avis Mini Review

I hired a car in Mallorca (Cala Millor) and from the beginning it was all misunderstandings of price (108 euros to 150 that they charged me) of fuel tank (they said that if I return the vehicle with more than half tank fuel they would not charge me. but they did, and charged 50 euros more) , they did it 5 days after car return, I was already in my city, and could only phone them complaining, but they just did not care.

Avis Mini Review

I hired a car for four days at the Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris, an international airport, the first surprise is that nobody talks spanish,  someone told me that he spoke French and just some English, incredible. I have been charged 100 euros more than signed in contract,  after my complaint they told me to send me by email the bill but they havent. Avis is expensive and one of the worst companies I have ever used.

Extra charges for car hire in Malaga? Another Avis review

Be carefull, they bill your credit card after a few days you return your vehicle. They made me charges 2 months after I hired a vehicle with them. I usually rent cars, and this never happened to me before. I’ve gone from an offer of 130 € to 220 €.

About Avis

In resume I have found very negative reviews of Avis while searching…the only positive one, was very strange as it was all appraisals, and I need at least a few positive reviews to believe it, even more when the rest of customers are complaining.

Avis Malaga is located at the Malaga airport arrivals where you must pickup and return the vehicle.
