KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Marbella
- Hiring a car through KAYAK gives you the freedom to explore not only the exclusive and vibrant town of Marbella but all its surrounding areas while you’re there. Drive along the coast to Malaga or Gibraltar, which are only around an hour away, or discover the national parks and quaint Spanish villages that are difficult to reach via public transport. You could even head further afield and take the 2h 30min trip inland to Seville, one of Spain’s most beautiful cities.
- The closest airport is just over half an hour away in Malaga and there are only buses or expensive taxis available into Marbella from there. Organising a car hire in Marbella from one of the many companies available is one of the simplest way to get to and from the airport, and you’ll be free to do as you please from there. The majority of hire desks are located inside the airport by the baggage carousels, although some may be located off-site. In this case, a short shuttle service can easily be arranged when booking your Marbella car hire.
- Always be mindful of vehicles around you on busy roads in Marbella and remember to drive on the right side, taking extra care on roundabouts and at busy junctions. Driving barefoot or in sandals/flip-flops is illegal in Spain and punishable by a hefty fine. Bear in mind that the heat can be especially intense in the summer, so air-conditioning is pretty much a necessity and ensuring you always have water in your car hire in Marbella is vital.
- Marbella is a popular tourist destination, making it subject to large amounts of traffic during rush hour periods. This starts at around 7:00–10:00, picks up slightly during the Spanish lunchtime (14:00–17:00) and returns again when work finishes around 20:00. On weekends during the summer period, visitors from all over the Costa del Sol head to Marbella, often clogging up roads like the A7. Sunday evening is an especially busy period with people driving home for the week.
- Book your rental car in Marbella at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Compact rental cars in Marbella are around 66% cheaper than other car types, on average
FAQs about renting a car in Marbella
What type of car is recommended for driving in Marbella?
A compact economy car is ideal for trips to and from the beach and picking your way through the narrow streets of Marbella’s old town. If you plan on exploring the surrounding area, an SUV might be better suited for comfort and stability on rocky hillside roads. Of course, a convertible offers a cool breeze and lets you fit right in with the Marbella crowd.
What’s the speed limit in Marbella?
In the centre of town, you’ll be expected to drive no more than 50 km/h (30mph). This limit increases to 90km/h (55mph) on single carriageways and 120km/h (75mph) on dual carriageways and motorways. Although there tends to be fewer speed cameras in the region than you’d ordinarily find in the UK, they are strategically placed, so keep an eye on signs even in rural areas.
Where are the best places to park in Marbella?
Finding a parking spot in Marbella can be complicated, especially during the summer season. The city centre and Porto Banús do have a number of parking garages that are more likely to have spaces than on the street or near the beach. Prices range from €1.80 (£1.60) to €3.35 (£2.95) per hour. Fuerte Marbella and the Avenida del Mar car parks are great spots close to all Marbella’s places of interest, however, you will pay towards the higher end for the convenient location, which generally works out between €16-€18 (£14-£15.80) per day.
