Renting a car at Málaga Airport (AGP): what you need to know
Make the most of your rental with these practical tips for before, during, and after your trip.
Before your rental
Book in advance through the SIXT App to streamline pick-up and arrive with everything in order. At the counter, bring your valid driver's licence and all required documents. Your UAE driving licence is accepted for car rental in Spain. As it contains information in both Arabic and English, no International Driving Permit (IDP) or additional translation is required.
If your flight is delayed, flexible late pick-up options are available — no need to worry about missing your slot.
During your rental
The road network around Málaga connects you easily to the city centre, the Costa del Sol coastline, and the rugged mountain hinterland of Andalusia. Adding a GPS navigation system to your booking is a practical choice, especially if you plan to venture beyond the main tourist routes.
After your rental
Take advantage of the Prefuel option to return the car with an empty tank — one less thing to arrange before your flight. If your plans change and you need to drop off in a different city, one-way rental is available subject to booking confirmation.
