Car hire in Malaga: delivery on request from 2 weeks

Malaga closes its historic centre to general traffic with cameras, so a hire car belongs in a garage such as Plaza de la Marina while you walk the old town. It earns its keep beyond the ring road, on the A-7 along the Costa del Sol, the A-45 to Antequera or the A-357 to the Caminito del Rey; WeOneRent is based in Alicante, has no office here and brings cars only for rentals of at least 2 weeks.

  • Meeting point: none fixed, agreed on WhatsApp before booking
  • Pickup: on request, rentals of at least 2 weeks only
  • Drive to Malaga centre: about 20 min from the airport
  • Drive to Marbella: about 45 min on the AP-7 toll road, about 1h 10 on the free A-7
  • Drive to Granada: about 1h 40 on the A-45 and A-92
Delivery to Malaga is on request, from 2 weeks only. Ask on WhatsApp +34 607 442 437 before booking: price and handover depend on the length of the rental.

Driving in Malaga

Camera streets, low emission zone, summer queues

Cameras guard the Centro Histórico between the Alameda Principal, Carretería and Calle Alcazabilla, and only authorised vehicles may enter. A court annulled the low emission zone rules, though the ruling is not yet final, and the council has stopped issuing fines for now, so check movilidad.malaga.eu first. The DGT lists the A-7, AP-7 and MA-20 among Andalusia's busiest roads on summer operation days.

  • Old town by authorisation
  • ZBE fines stopped

Holy Week and the August Feria

The 2026 Holy Week plan closed the Alameda Principal, Plaza de la Marina and Paseo del Parque for long stretches, and shut the Camas and Tejón y Rodríguez garages meanwhile. The 2025 Feria plan closed old town streets daily from 12:00 to 18:00 and recommended the ring roads, so check each year's plan.

  • Holy Week closures
  • Feria: use the ring roads

FAQ Málaga

Can I hire a car in Malaga for just a few days?

No. There is no short-term hire in Malaga and no WeOneRent office here. The company is based in Alicante and brings cars to the city only for rentals of at least 2 weeks.

How is delivery to Malaga arranged?

On request. Send your dates on WhatsApp to +34 607 442 437 before booking: price and handover depend on the length of the rental and are agreed there. Fuel is full to full, and WhatsApp support runs 24/7.

Can I drive to my hotel in Malaga's old town?

Ask the hotel first. Hotels and hostels inside the camera zone can register guests' plates with the council. Public car parks inside may be reached only to park, with no stops on the way in or out.

Do I have to pay tolls to reach Marbella or Antequera?

No, both have a toll-free road. In 2026 the AP-7 to Marbella costs €5.70, or €9.25 from June to September and at Easter; the free A-7 takes about 1h 10. Northbound, the AP-46 costs €4.35, or €6.60 from May to October, at weekends and at Easter, while the A-45 has no toll.

How do I reach the Caminito del Rey by car?

Take the A-357 and MA-5403 towards Ardales, about 1h 5 from the city. Cars cannot reach the path, so use the €2 Visitors' Reception Centre car park. The 8 km route runs one way, north to south, and a €2.50 shuttle, cash on board, returns from El Chorro. Buy tickets online first.
