Important information about Málaga car rentals

Málaga, part of Spain’s Andalusian Autonomous Government, draws history and art buffs as well as innovators from around the world. When you drive into downtown and look for parking in Málaga, free spaces are often difficult to find. You’ll want to look for blue lines on the road, which will indicate zones where parking is quite inexpensive. You’ll also find public lots, which are open all day and night, and provide convenient access to Málaga’s pedestrian city center. Meander around the city to visit the Picasso Museum and the Moorish fortress Alcazaba, or stroll to Playa de la Malagueta by the ocean. For day-tripping among the beach communities along the Costa del Sol or "coast of the sun," car rentals in Málaga are a must. If you don’t get one at the airport, choose a vehicle from more than 20 car rental locations in and around Málaga.

While visiting, is it worthwhile to rent a car in Málaga?

After you immerse yourself in Málaga’s history and enjoy this walkable city’s shops and restaurants, like those that line tile-paved pedestrian-only Calle Larios, you’ll want a luxury car rental or even a cheap car rental in Málaga to see the amazing sights just outside of the city. Keep in mind that that rush hours in and around Málaga involve lunchtime congestion as well as morning and evening traffic. Your Málaga car rental will give you the freedom to drive to Monte Calamorro for a cable car ride that grants an amazing view across the Mediterranean Sea to Africa. Load the family into a passenger van rental and head to the Caves of Nerja, the famous whitewashed city of Frigiliana, or the Spanish beach resort Marbella. A good practice is to park at your hotel, whether staying in Málaga or in a neighboring town for best value parking and safety.

What laws should I keep in mind while driving in Málaga?

For car rentals in Málaga and throughout Spain, your first step is to be sure you are driving on the right side of the road. Be aware that there are many traffic circles where you’ll want to stay to your right for easy exit. Always buckle up in your economy car rental or risk ticketing. Note that cell phone use while driving is prohibited, as are headphones for any kind of sound device. And take special care when having a drink—just one glass of wine or beer can put you close to or even over the blood alcohol limit of 0.05%. As rules of the road are quite strict here, it is best to check with Spain’s Dirección General de Tráfico or the American Embassy in Spain for more information prior to your trip.

Will I need a special driver’s license or permit to drive a rental car in Málaga if I’m visiting from another country?

For car rentals in Málaga, you’ll need an International Driving Permit, unless you have an EU driver’s license. If you are from the U.S., a bit more information is required. You’ll also need your driver’s license from your home state to drive a Málaga car rental. In addition, keep your passport on hand. Agencies supplying rental cars in Málaga may ask to see it, and if you are stopped for any reason by Spain’s Guardia Civil, they will likely ask to see it.
