Opinions
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I’ve rented here twice and everything has been perfect. Sergio is someone who, in addition to renting you the car, gives you advice on places to visit! A 10 out of 10!” — Antony Jose ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “The best car rental company and Sergio is wonderful. I recommend him 100%!” — Julian Gómez ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I went to Malaga for the weekend to visit some friends and rented a car. I didn’t know which car to choose, as we had plans to visit nearby towns, and they kindly advised me over the phone. The driver picked me up at Malaga airport on time and offered to carry my luggage. Great service and the car smelled new. Everything was great, I recommend them.” — Jorge Bellido ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Because they treat us very well and it’s very well located, OK — Jose Gabriel Monterroso ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “Great price, good car, and fantastic service. I’m always worried when I rent cars, but I shouldn’t have been; these guys are great. And… they didn’t charge me extra when I mixed up my days and returned the car late. As the other review implied: with Sergio, you’re in good hands. Thank you! (February 2022) UPDATE: I just used this company again (April 2022), and once again, great service!” — Noel DunneRENFE train station María Zambrano
