The Costa del Sol is one of the most popular destinations in the whole of Spain. The area has something to offer all kinds of tourists, including couples, families, groups of friends and even golfers. Malaga Airport is the entry point for holidaymakers staying in Fuengirola and Torremolinos, among others.

Cheap car hire in Malaga Airport is available on arrival and is offered by companies such as Hertz and Avis. However, there are nine rental car companies in total. These days, most passengers can enjoy the modern facilities offered by Terminal 3. Passengers who arrive at Terminal 2 should go down to the basement, where they will find car hire in Malaga Airport.

Nowadays, only a very small number of flights use Terminal 1, but it is conveniently connected to Terminal 2. Passengers heading to the city of Malaga might prefer to take advantage of the airport bus which serves the city centre. The journey takes less than half an hour.

Car rental in Malaga Airport could be of special interest to tourists with young families. Many families don’t want to be restricted to the resort and would like some independence. In the heat and sunshine of the Costa del Sol, taking buses with small children can be a stressful experience; a hire car could be much more relaxing.

There are several day trips on the Costa del Sol as well as several beaches outside the main resort areas. Visitors on a package tour can enquire about car rental in their accommodation, as these tourists usually have a coach transfer arranged from the terminal building.
