Car rental Malaga airport

I won't mention the mossies to Sue!!! We do have tropical strength repellent left over from Thailand though!
We are just waiting in the departure lounge now, so I will let you know our experience.

With some further detail on my email to you Malcolm and for information to others.
Actually all went very smoothly with Centauro.
It was easy to find their shuttle pick up point, directly outside the terminal building in Palma airport.
One shuttle was just leaving as we arrived, but another came within 5 minutes.
Their depot is off airport, but it took less than 5 minutes get there.
You take a ticket from a dispenser to confirm your place in the queue, but there were only 4 in front of us and we were leaving in our car in less than 10 minutes.
We received a free upgrade, as they apparently only had a few diesels - very strange, but most welcome.
In summary, so far anyway, it has been a very satisfactory experience and at a 60% discount v Hertz, Sixt..etc I am even happier.
 
Just booked with Budget.

Pick up at Malaga airport, 22 days, economy car £161 inc all taxes (just the excess to deal with via an annual policy thanks to Malc660 advice) fuel pick up full, return full. Can also cancel within 24 hours of pick up if something better comes along.

Didn't seem too bad. Has anyone seen anything better with a comparable reputable company ?
 
When I said Malc660 I should have said Malc9990.

Sorry to Malc and thanks for the advice.

That is a really good deal.
 
Yes, that is a staggeringly good deal - well done.
I just checked what our last 22 days would have been with Budget here in Palma.
I might expect it to be a slightly higher rate here, but not by too much
The standard rate (I don't know what discount you were able to get) for the smallest available car a Fiat Panda 1.2 would be £447.80!!!

I do not really care if I am full/empty scammed as long as rental plus fuel still costs way less than with any other rental company without the full/empty rule :)

I will be at Marbella Beach Club in January and my return flight departs 7:35 am. My impression is that most rental companies only open their office/counter at 7:00 am which is too late for me to return the car.

Some consolidators/brokers ask for something like $50 surcharge for returning the car outside of their office hours.

So I really need to pay that?

In spain I never had to sign anything and never got a receipt. Just parked the car, handed the key to a guy wearing the company T-Shirt and that was it. Why pay $50 for doing that an hour before they open?

Isn't there a way to just park the car and drop off the keys in some kind of deposit box without needing the help of a rental company employee?

Any experience with this for Malaga rental companies?

Thanks a lot!

With Avis, a couple of years ago, we were leaving on Xmas Day. Despite advance assurances that the return office in the Malaga airport garage would be open and someone there to check us in, when we arrived on Dec. 25, there was no one - just a box for keys and contract. We left them, had no problems. (The rental office by baggage claim WAS staffed, but inaccessible without going through security)
