Hello Car Hire Seekers!!!

In my past few posts, I have rated three car hire companies together. For this post I will focus on a specific city that is a perennial hotbed for car hire. That city of course is Malaga, Spain. If you would like to save money and have a great overall experience, there is a lot you need to know before booking a car hire in Malaga. In this post, I will outline the best places to reserve a car hire, the best companies to use, the best time to make a reservation and a few tips for avoiding problems. So, let?s dive right in and start talking about car hire Malaga.

The Best Places to Reserve a Car Hire

Unfortunately, I have not found the magic website out there that always has the lowest prices for car hire. Therefore, you need to shop around and do some comparisons if you want to find the best deal. The way to go about doing this is to give yourself enough time to fully research many different websites. Make sure you can dedicate at least 2 hours to searching and comparing the best prices. You should also write down the information you gather so it will be easier to go back and find the same websites and car hire rates. There are three websites I always check first when I am trying to book a car hire.

1. Carrentals.co.uk
2. DecodeCarHire.co.uk
3. RhinoCarHire.co.uk

It is a good idea to browse these three websites first and then you can search for other sites and compare them to the big three. This will give you a good baseline to start your searching. Once you know the prices from these top three websites, you can search other places and simply compare if someone can beat the price. This will save you a lot of time and a lot of money!

The Best Companies to Use

Because we are talking about car hire Malaga, I will provide you with a list of the best companies in the area. I will base these results on car hire reviews and my personal experiences. It is very important to remember that this year will be extra difficult on the car hire suppliers and that might be reflected in their prices. Nonetheless, you will want to use one of these companies to get the best service and nicest cars.

1. Marbenjo Malga
2. Avis Malga Airport
3. Sixt Malaga
4. Auriga Crown
5. Record Go

You may recognize a few of these companies, while other could be unknown. It has been my personal experience that tells me the car hire company does not matter, it is more about the service and the quality of car you receive. In fact, some of the worldwide known brand names can have some of the worst service you can imagine. That is why it is a good idea to have a positive attitude when you go to pick up the car and your experience will be greatly improved.

The Best Time to Make a Reservation

If you are really serious about taking a car hire holiday to Malaga this summer, you need to move fast if you want to book a vehicle. I have already hear that many of those 5 rental car suppliers are getting close to fully booked. At the latest, you need to book the car before the end of March or you might miss out entirely.

Another option you have is to call the rental companies and ask them when some of their cars will be available. Here is how it could work. If you really want a car hire, and you have a flexible schedule, all you need to do is call the car hire company and ask them to give you some dates when a car will be available. Maybe that will mean you only have the car for a few days, or you might be lucky enough to get one for the entire week. This option can easily be avoid though if you just book well in advance. The call and ask method should only be attempted in a desperation situation.

Tips for Avoiding Problems

1. Book Early ? Yes, I know I just wrote about this, but I am saying it again because it will be so vital this year.
2. Do not miss your pick up time or drop off time ? Because the cars are in such high demand, the rental companies will most likely increase their charges for a car that is not returned on time. You do not want to be caught in this situation. Also, if you are late for the pick up time, they might give your car away.
3. Be prepared to pay extra hidden fees ? Of course this is just a personal thought, but, I think the rental companies in Malaga might be out for blood this year. They will charge you a little bit here and there because they know you will pay it. And if you won?t, someone else will.
4. Expect the unexpected ? Sorry about the clich?, but this will be a good motto to travel by. Do not think there are any guarantees, do not plan for a perfect car hire experience and remember that if something goes wrong, it is ok because you were expecting it.
5. HAVE FUN!!!

Happy Traveling!
