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.
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 rental 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.

When you drive from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport to the city center, you can expect the trip to typically take around 20 to 25min depending on what traffic and weather conditions are like at the time. To go to downtown Malaga, you will first want to get on the N-348 and drive towards the Autovía de Circunvalación de Málaga/MA-20. Then you can take C. Hilera and Pasillo de Sta. Isabel to Av. Rosaleda and continue on Av. Rosaleda to ultimately end up in the heart of the city.
Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is home to the offices of more than 20 different car rental companies, with around 10 of these companies having their branches directly inside the airport’s main terminal. Some of the companies that you can find inside the airport include Avis, Budget, and SIXT. The desks for these agencies are typically located either downstairs right near the baggage carousels, or upstairs by baggage carousel 31. Companies that have on-site branches at the airport usually keep their fleets in one of the airport’s car parks, which can be reached by going through Terminal 3 to the transportation hub.

Pros:
Super easy pick up at the airport counter then a small walk to the garage at the airport to get in the car and go. No pressure on buying extra insurance or upgrading.Cons:
Over all one of the best rental encounters I have had in over 40 years.9.6 Wonderful
Jill, Feb 2020
Pros:
The staff was friendly, helpful and spoke enough English to help us through the process. Rental instructions were clear.Cons:
We weren't sure where to drop the car off in the parking structure. We randomly parked it and told the staff where we put it. They were fine with that, but we should have parked it on -2 rather than -1...next time we'll know.10.0 Wonderful

It took me more than an hour to find and deduce that Goldcar was the intermediary of Ace, they had a little sign, hardly visible that said Rodeon. Price with Ace perfect. I decided for an upgrade at Goldcar (Rodeon) and it was ridiculous more expensive. A worthless GPS for 100€!!!. And I had to leave 2000$ for deposit plus €150 for gas, these amounts hopefully I'll get back to my credit card in a week.6.0 Okay
