Explore historic Spain with a Malaga airport car rental

The port city of Malaga is located on the Costa del Sol in southern Spain and is best explored by rental car. It is the birthplace of Picasso and has everything from art and museums to interesting architecture and ancient ruins. While in Malaga be sure to visit Alcazaba, Spain's best-preserved fortress. Dating back to the 11th century, this important landmark is one of Malaga's most popular attractions. Go on a Sunday after 2pm and enter for free. For a day trip, head to the historic city of Granada, a little over 100km to the northwest of Malaga and Nerja, which is less than 60km from the city.

What our customers say

IT WAS VERY EASY TO MAKE BOOKING
I WILL RECOMENDE GOSEE TO MY FRIENDS
Mileta Markovic
She was awesome, great lady over the phone, She explained everything in detail.
Anthony Unabor
Having had an awful service with QEEB, despite having booked a car months ago, we needed to look for a new provider. It is only 3 weeks until our holiday so I was worried that we would face an expensive car hire. GoSee had reasonably priced cars and the experience was hugely different to that of QEEB.
GoSee website was easy to use, straight forward and we were able to save a quote for the car we were interested in. A member of the GoSee team called that evening to make sure we had all of the information we needed and she sent us through the quote again... Thank you for making a stressful situation much more tolerable!!
