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.

Car hire Reviews: Avis Malaga airport


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.

Free WIFI, stay connected from the beaches of the Costa del Sol


free wi fi

Over 40% of the beach bars on the Costa del Sol offer free WiFi this summer:

Being connected to the Internet even at the beach this summer is going to be something normal. Due to the popularity of laptops, mini computers and telephones with Internet access nowadays it is becoming a reality the possibility of being connected anywhere and at any time throughout the day. This possibility this summer extends to the Costa del Sol beaches which offer free WiFi.

This summer the beach bars of the Costa del Sol will have a major appeal (besides the cold beer!) with free WIFI connection. Instead of having to find an internet connection in the hotel or going to any net cafe, now you only need to pick up the beach bag and your gadget with application for internet and land on the beaches of Malaga.

Imagine, while you take a refreshing beer in the shade, you instantly send your friends the feeling of wellbeing, a few meters from the shore of the Mediterranean; or you answer some emails while waiting for your serving of fried fish … life is not so bad, right? Also, as another new feature this year is that the beaches of Fuengirola offer play centres and professional massage.

Car hire Reviews: Goldcar Malaga airport


Goldcar is a rental company present in the most popular destinations in Spain, including Malaga.

I have just copied and translated a few customer Goldcar reviews below from the website CIAO. I also tried to post complaints and appraisals.

Goldcar reviews

  1. I rented one of their cars 2 months ago in Granada, a Seat Leon…but they told me there was no availability for that model, so  a Polo was offered…if I wanted something better I would have to pay an extra. I said ok, as I needed the vehicle and I paid in advance.
  2. The person who assisted asked me 80 Euro for a mandatory full fuel tank, and told me that if I returned the car before 3 days they would reimburse the not used fuel. I have to say that is a very expensive fuel cost and she was reading that my reservation was for a whole week.
  3. After the week, I returned the car with half tank fuel without money back, and they asked me another 20 Euro for the cleaning service…what cleaning service? never read anything about it.
  4. GPS cost 80 Euro, and they will pay you back 30 Euro on GPS return…expensive.
  5. Insurances are expensive from Goldcar.
  6. I can´t recommend this company for car hire in Malaga.

Goldcar review

I can say that Goldcar is a low cost car hire company in Malaga I would rent again with. I have read a few complaints and Goldcar reviews, but I never had a problem, so…

Cheap prices for car hire in Malaga, I recommend it.

Goldcar review

I’ve rented twice and would repeat with Goldcar to save time and money. They also have unlimited mileage, insurance and free road assistance. In all multinationals they charge you for that. Also the first time I rented with them I did because they were the only ones who allowed me to pay using debit card while other multinationals require a credit card.

Goldcar review 

On January 15, I hired a car from Malaga airport to return to the airport of San Javier. My first surprise on signing the contract is that the 90 Eur rental car (a ford focus automatic 100hp) did not include 77 Euro of fuel which I had to pay apart.

Before arriving to San Javier airport, the car showed an “autonomy” of 90 km, so I decide to refuel and fill it, costing 44 EUR to fill the deposit.

On car return, I asked for the fuel money back, and told the person who assisted me that I paid 77 Euro for a full fuel tank, and I wanted that cash back as I filled the tank on my way back.

My surprise is that they reimbursed me 67 Euro instead 77 Euro, so they still kept 10 Euro approximately without any valid reason. They should check the fuel tank on vehicle return….I don´t know what they did with the vehicle before checking the fuel.

Additionally the vehicle was not new, with more than 50.000Km, some scratches and it was a premium vehicle. I can´t recommend Goldcar.
