Car Hire in Parque del Guadalhorce, Málaga, Spain

When renting a car, especially after travelling by train, allocate extra time for pickup to account for possible delays. Most car hire companies offer a 30-60 minute grace period. Sharing your train number can be helpful, but if you're running late, be sure to contact the car hire provider to let them know.

Before confirming your booking, see if the rental company offers free cancellation. This can be very beneficial if your travel plans change suddenly.

Opt for car hire suppliers with high ratings, as these usually reflect better service, newer vehicles, and more convenient pickup locations. At Parque del Guadalhorce, we have deals from suppliers. Among them, Rental plus boasts a rating of 5, CLICK RENT has a rating of 4.9, and Keddy by Europcar holds a rating of 4.8.

When booking, check if the rental company offers extras such as GPS or child seats. These can enhance your driving experience but may incur additional costs, so it's wise to factor them into your budget.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

Some rental agencies might offer a free tank of fuel with your rental. Be aware of the conditions, such as how much fuel to return with to avoid extra charges.
