Hi. We are looking at car hire from malaga airport.  Does anyone have any information on good hire companies.  We have used record before.  But we are now getting totally bamboozled by reviews good and bad. Alas it seems to be the same for most of them. Any information would be appreciated.

     Have used malagacarhire.com before with no problems. Prices quoted at easter past were quite expensive into so we went with Record for the first time. As you say reviews are mixed. But we got a 14 day hire of a new Qashqai, admittedly an upgrade as the main driver was obviously pregnant,  for approx €140. We had separate crash waiver insurance but took their full cover policy and it came out at just over €200.

There were no problems whatsoever on pickup and handover of vehicle so we'll probably use again.

Hope this helps.

We use the search engine “do you Spain” and generally very good. Our is sized car Malaga airport for 9 days was only about £30!

Hi. Yes that's who we have gone through.  We found an old email from last year. That was who we went with then. I'm not sure what the deal was but my husband was happy, so that's fine by me. 

Many thanks

Hi - We use Malagacar. We have never had a problem, the courtesy bus collects and drops off at the airport, their new fuel policy means you don't pay them for petrol, just bring it back with the same amount it had when you collected it, and after using them 5 times they started giving a discount which goes up by 1% every time to a max of 20%. Also after you have used them for a few times they don't take the 1000 euro deposit. Chris

Useful to know Chris. They are a good company to deal with in my experience.

We have used Malaga car 3 times and they have been very good, used to use Niza (6 or 7 times a year for 10 years) but they were awful in the last year with their hard sell on insurance when we had our own annual cover.   They even told us we werent good custmers to them!!! Would not go back.
