Book Cheap Alamo Car Hire Deals in Mercamálaga, Málaga, Spain

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.

If you plan to share driving, check if the rental company allows a second driver and whether there are additional fees. Some companies offer free second driver options under certain conditions.

Before booking, review the rental agreement for any hidden fees such as airport surcharges, additional driver fees, or late return penalties. Understanding these can help you budget more effectively.

When selecting insurance, consider if it includes free excess coverage. This means you won’t have to pay a deductible in the event of damage, adding an extra layer of security.

Ensure you know whether your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be vital in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

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.

Before departing, check the interior of the rental car for cleanliness and any functional issues. Ensure equipment like the radio and air conditioning works properly.

Some companies may provide a complimentary tank of fuel with your rental. Understand the conditions, such as how much fuel you need to return with to avoid fees.
