Planning a trip to Spain and need a car? Choose the right option based on the type of vacation you have in mind. If you're only visiting major cities like Barcelona or Madrid, you might not even need a car. Often, tourists book cars for city travel, which can ruin your vacation due to narrow streets and lack of parking. In Barcelona and Madrid, it's better to use public transportation and save time and money.
However, for trips to Andalusia or to the north, to the Basque Country, the Pyrenees, or Andorra, renting a car would be a reasonable choice. Small coastal towns, mountains, and the coastline create a magical setting that is definitely worth exploring in Spain.
We don't recommend booking a car upon arrival in the country; it may not be cost-effective as prices will be significantly higher compared to booking online in advance. You can book a car rental at Malaga Airport and Marbella right on this website — select your desired dates, car, and make a reservation at least 48 hours in advance. This ensures the availability of a suitable car and saves you money on price and insurance.
To find the best deal:
Car rental prices vary depending on the season and class. During peak demand periods, from March to November and during the Christmas holidays, prices may be higher. You can inquire about current prices for your dates and the class of cars you're interested in through the form on the website.
Compare offers from different companies and brokers. Note that prices on popular websites such as Rentalcars, Goldcar, Malagacar, or Booking may be higher than on other platforms. It's important to carefully review the rental terms. Avoid companies that force you to include additional services in the rental. At SOLO rent a car, we offer completely transparent conditions.
