i am very happy with the service. the cars and the staff. thank you very much
see you soo

Well located near the airport. As it is not a broker, we received excellent personalized service both on arrival and when returning the car. The first car we had had a small glitch and we were rented another car without any difficulty and apologizing for any inconvenience it may have caused us. I recommend this company without hesitation.

Having used you several times before, I have always found the Service to be 5 star, however, this last time (April 25~10May) I have just one observation which has made me only give 4 stars this time. I paid by a MasterCard credit card and was surprised to find p, on my return home, that you had converted the rate to GBP and used a different exchange rate than had you debited me in Euros is MasterCard. My Credit card company told me that all they received was a sterling amount for me to pay with no reference to Euros. You did not ask me whether I wanted to pay in pounds or Euros and the rate you used was not advantageous to me, only to you. I emailed you to ask why, but have not received a reply.

Dear customer,
Thanks for contacting us. Usually the staff asks to the customer before make the charge. Anyway I have just left a note that you like to pay always in Euros.

3 stars for Malagacar.com. Pick-up service was not good, but the rest was OK. 5 stars for Startpackage - a perfect service for late arrival in Malaga. We started the first day in Spain with bacon and eggs :-). All food was fresh and cold in the bag. We were greeted by one of the owners (Kim), who had our start package at the car rental office. Will definitely use the startpackage again.

Awful service! we booked a car long before the trip. We were travelling with kids, so needed a big and comfortable car. When we arrived in Malaga, we spent a lot of time trying to get the car, but it was not available. I am very much dissatisfied.

Dear customer,
Thanks for your words. We are sorry you were not satisfied. The car booked by  you was not returned by the previous customer so this is why was not available. My colleague Miguel tried to help you and gave you other options but all them were declined.

Excellent service. Customer friendly staff - even drew me a little map at pick up. Great prices. Lovely cars. Delighted. I will certainly rent again from you and recommend without hesitation to friends and colleagues. Muchas gracias.

I have used Malaga car for years, every month, and receive great service, fantastic discount ( 20% due to regular hire) and superb cars. BUT the new basic rate 70km mileage limit is a bad change in my view. 70km is about 40 minutes driving on the motorway??? Per day??? Please review this new policy as I am certain it will make us, the customers, look at other options. Others have unlimited mileage on basic rates. Please review this new change of details. PR

Dear customer,
 
Thanks for your email. For customers who drive a lot we offer a really competitive offer which name is COMFORT PACK or FULL PACK offer with a fully comprehensive insurance without excess. You are right other companies can offer a basic pack with unlimited kilometre but, How much is when You have to pay for the car + refuelling fee + an expensive fuel rate?

In the past we have used other car hire companies until we discovered Malagacar.com, since we did which was about six or seven years ago we have used no one else. The transfer is quick and efficient, the check in payment process straightforward and the cars top notch, now when we visit the area we would never consider using anyone but, Malagacar.com.

Extremely poor and costly experience! A truck delivering goods to the hotel I stayed at, scratched the bumper of the parked rental car. The truck driver accepted the responsibillity. When delivering the car back, I showed the injury report to Malaga representatives together with documentation of old damages to the bumper. Everything is okey was the answer. Later I experienced that Malaga Car had withdrawn the deposit of 1200 EUR. 2 months have past and Malaga Car is claiming that the third party insurance company isn't responding. So, Malaga Car is putting all the burden on their customer which is not a part of the insurance case. I have now reported the case to the credit card company. An extremely bad experience!

Dear customer,
Thanks for your comment. When you booked the car you didn’t like to have Full insurance so you must understand you are responsible for any damage made to the car, up to excess cost. In this case, you say the damage was made by another person and you gave us the details so we are waiting the insurance company take the responsibility. As soon they admit the responsibility, We will refund you the damage cost. Please believe me we do not leave the case aside.

Malagacar.com WHEELCHAIR USER. Smooth communication beforehand. Good price. However, what was very disappointing was the meeting place at the airport. Poorly communicated. I called the office twice. After a lot of searching and asking, I finally found the "contact lady" at the airport. Apparently she had not received a phone call from the company that we were looking for her. She directed us halfway to the pick-up place. She assured us that the van was wheelchair accessible, which turned out not to be the case at all. After some phone calls, the company itself came to the airport to pick us up. The car (Kia SUV) did not meet our needs - too high - but without any problems we got a better fitting car later at the depot (Seat Leon station wagon). We had chosen the "full pack vip" formula and in no time the papers were arranged. The other customers had to wait patiently for their turn. It could also have been better and clearer in the contact with the company that the pick-up place was mentioned as "buses de cortesia". It would have saved us a lot of time. The other customers also had to do such a search...
