I've used Espacar a couple of times at Malaga Airport - and they're a good bet. The cars are…read morenewish, sensibly priced and there's no nonsense about fuel, or cheeky little charges tapped on the bill. Recommended.

This company offers exactly what they say in their advert. No extras when you fetch the car. Met us…read moreat the airport in Malaga, took our trolley and to the car. Contract signed and no nonsense about extra insurance except for a polite question. 3/4 tank of fuel and we were asked to deliver the same. As good as new car. We are very much pleased with this company and will not hesitate using them again. We have been hiring cars several times a year for 16 years in Spain always feeling a little insecure. This time we felt everything was safe.

Car broke down. Was handled reasonably OK…read more Minus: The booking was very informal (just short lines by e-mail) which left me nervous if it would work out. Plus: Ignacio Velasco was at the Ronda train station at the agreed time with the car. Plus: The car initially worked, sort of. Minus: The car was not very good. Very weak on the hills and the sunshade at the passenger seat fell down upon touch. Minus: The car broke down in a rural area of the Cadiz province, more than an hour's driving from Ronda. It had been increasingly weak until the gearbox gave up completely. It was new years day. Plus: Ignacio came with his daughter and one other person (maybe son or boyfriend, didn't utter a word), which took a little over an hour. Upon a brief inspection of the car he gave us a ride to our vacation accommodation in Benamahoma. Minus: He drove the wrong way twice on his way to Benamahoma, did not appear to pay much attention. Minus: He did not offer us a replacement car. Plus: He fetched us at 8:00 on a Sunday morning two days later to bring us to Ronda (more than an hour by car), where we had to catch a train. Minus: He only came conditionally upon agreeing that we would still pay the full fare for the car. Overal verdict: 2/5. He gave us an unreliable car but handled it what was perhaps as best as he could, as I believe he did not have other cars available. I'm not sure because our communication was only in Spanish.
