Good morning ๐Ÿ™ ๐ŸŒ„ 

My son is planning to hire a car, when he arrives at Malaga Airport at 12 midnight, to drive to estepona,  he has never done this before, and only drove  in Estepona. 

I'm sure they won't have the car waiting for him. And he has 2 small children with them who are going to be very tired and I'm sure irritable 

1st. Question. " is it  easy  getting from the Airport and out of malaga onto the motorway??

2. Does it  take awhile to fill forms and actually get the car. 

I would be so greatfull for any information, or advice, as I am very worried. 

Blessing ๐Ÿ™Œ ๐Ÿ™Œ

Hi,

I can recommend to hire a car at www.hellehollis.com - they are very reliable and serious, and the cars are in excellent condition. When you will book the car, you decide during booking process if you will buy insurance or go for a deposit via credit card. If you will go for fast lane, everything is ready when you get there, only show driving licence and within a minute they have the keys for the car. 

The courtesy bus is waiting at the airport, or will be there within minutes, drivers have the name and arrival time, so they know when your son and familiy will be there.

From the airport/rental station it is in fact very easy to get to Estepona. Either bring or rent a navigation or simply use google maps on the mobile. There are two road toll stations on the highway to Estepona, where you can pay with cash or credit card.

Hi,

yes, indeed it is - we also from time to time have late flights, and it works 100%. During booking process you write arrival time and flight number. Hellehollis are following arrival times, so in case of any delays, they are updated. Cars are standing in their own illuminated garage, not some dark parking.

If you read the feed back on google and their homepage, you see what I mean.

If you have anymore question, just let me knwo, always happy to help.

Hi Shannon,

Most hire companies are quite good at Malaga. I used several different ones.

The route out of the airport is quite easy from the upper level but if the hire company is on the ground level he may end up on the MA-21. Either way I would recommend he takes the AP7 Toll road to Estepona being quicker and less traffic.

Aw. Thank you, I'll tell him.. He needs to be aware.
