Afternoon,
can anyone recommend car hire for the below please?:Larnaca (Cyprus)
Malaga (Spain)Thanks!
For LCA, I booked Sixt through Auto Europe and they were very good.

For Malaga, the imaginatively named Malagacar is our go-to. They’re not the cheapest (though prices are still very reasonable), but they include full insurance cover and no payment is required until you get the car. You don’t get any reports of the common rip-off tactics other companies try on such as telling you your payment hasn’t gone through and you need to pay again if you want the car (this actually happened to my nephew in May!)
We’ve always had new, spotless vehicles either identical or better than what we booked.
Because you don’t need to pay anything up front to get a great price, you can check back occasionally and often the price will have gone down (we saved 30 euros on a 4-day rental in May doing this).
For Málaga, I recently used Drivalia. I ordered an automatic and it was a very good car. The staff were good, and they didn’t even mention me returning the car an hour or so late.
As always, check the price direct and via two or three of the aggregators for the best price, then buy the insurance separately.

They look really good and pretty competitive to what I’ve been quotes, especially with the additional driver! Can I double check they are ‘on airport’ instead of a bus to an off airport office? It wasn’t 100% clear to me. If so, I’ll be booking with them tonight!
Thanks for the recommendation!

Malagacar is off site, but so are most of the rental companies at AGP. The price difference makes it a no-brainer compared with Avis and Hertz. These days we tend to stay near the airport on the first night and collect a car the following day for a less stressful travel experience – in May we stayed at the HIX AGP then walked to the rental location a short distance away the next morning.
If you want to read a few horror stories, have a look at reviews for DoYouSpain on TrustPilot! Someone recommended them as a broker to my nephew for our family holiday – they were really cheap but I read the reviews and decided they were no-go for us. My nephew went with them anyway and had to pay again when they got to the desk. I need to to ask him if he’s managed to get the first lot of money back yet! They look to have a lot of 4 and 5 star reviews but when you read them they’re often just about the booking process or look suspiciously vague and a bit fake.

Thanks again, I read through some reviews last night and I see what you mean! The queuing system (@ Malagacars)for the off site bus gives me some confidence that we won’t suffer the usual free for all…Booking placed!
Ps, I hope your nephew gets his money back for the first booking!
