Cheap Routes Car Hire in Málaga

Familiarize yourself with local habits to enhance your safety and compliance on the road.

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.

Car-sharing services can be a flexible and cost-effective solution for brief journeys.

Before finalizing your booking, check if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can provide peace of mind if your travel plans change unexpectedly.

When hiring a car in Málaga, be aware that rentals are charged per day. For instance, Routes charges per day, so if you rent for more than 24 hours, you’ll incur an additional day’s charge. Plan your hire period to avoid extra costs
