When to book a car hire in Málaga
Top tips for hiring a car in Málaga
- As a tourist in Malaga, renting a car is the best way to discover the Costa del Sol in comfort. As well as offering total independence on your visit, it is also a cheap way to travel. Rather than booking a taxi or taking other time-consuming public transport, a car gives you the chance to visit the whole Andalucía region, including the neighboring traditional villages and cities, like Granada and Seville, which are only a few hours drive away.
- Looking to rent a car on your vacation to Malaga? As the main airport in the Costa Del Sol, Málaga Airport offers plenty of car hire options on site. When you land, you will find the car hire desks located in the Basement in Terminal 2 and on the Ground Floor of Terminal 3.
- When you visit Malaga, you will notice that there are lots of roundabouts where drivers already on the roundabout have the right of way. You must also remember that passing on the right is illegal. The roads in and around Malaga are well-maintained and signposted; however, you must take great care on the coastal N340 road, which has a few dangerous spots. The main A7 Motorway stretches along the Costa del Sol and leads to Algeciras, or you can take the faster route on the AP-7 toll road.
- Similar to other cities around Spain, there are four rush hour periods to watch out for during the day. In the morning you can expect traffic between 8:00 and 9:30, during lunchtime from 12:30 to 2:30 pm, in the early evening between 3:30 and 5:00 pm, and at night from 6:30 to 8:30 pm. During the peak months of June to August, many of the main roads, especially the N340, suffer from large traffic jams.

If you want to discover the sights of Malaga and the rest of the Andalucía region, you need to rent a comfortable car that’s suitable for the inner city, motorway, and coastal driving. Whether you want to soak up the summer sun in a convertible or are staying in the heart of Malaga, a smaller car is advisable to travel around the narrower, older streets. However, if you want to take the rural roads to nearby villages, an SUV would be better suited to your journey.
When you drive around the center of Malaga, you will need to keep to the speed limit of 31 mph. If you take the motorway, or autopista, the limit is 74 mph, whereas on a dual carriageway, or autovia, the speed limit is 62 mph. The speed limit on Malaga’s main roads, or carreteras, is 55 mph, whilst signposts will show the speed limits on secondary and rural roads. It’s important to drive carefully in Malaga as there are several speeding radars across the city.
Compared to the rest of Spain, petrol prices in Malaga are relatively low. The average price for a gallon of petrol is $5.48 in Malaga. The best place to fill up is in supermarket petrol stations, which are much cheaper than those found next to the motorways. When you fill up, you must remember that petrol will be purchased in liters, not gallons.
Even though free parking in the center of Malaga is limited, there are several places in and around the city where you can pay to park your hire car. You will be able to park in blue zones, where you will pay at a ticket machine, or you can opt for the municipal underground parking lot, where you can expect to pay between €25.00 and €30.00 a day (approximately $28.00-$34.00 USD). Plaza de Marina is the perfect place to park as it’s a large parking lot located in the historic center, under Malaga’s main shopping street.
