Good to know
To rent a vehicle in Spain, you generally have to be at least 21 years old. Some providers may allow younger drivers to rent vehicles for a higher fee, so always check the terms before confirming your ride.
Kids coming with you? Car seat rules differ from place to place, and the best setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Check if you need to add one to your AGP car rental booking.
You'll need to hand over a few things when picking up your rental car: a current driver's license, another form of photo ID, and a credit card with room to cover the excess. Debit cards aren't commonly accepted. Any other requirements will be listed in your booking.
Driving in Spain may take some getting used to if it's your first time. Don't forget all vehicles travel on the right side of the road.
Keep within local speed limits of about 20kph in urban areas and around 110kph on highways. Road signs will indicate if the limit is different.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Spain is 0.05%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the only way to be certain you're safe to drive is to skip the drinks.
The euro (EUR) is the currency you'll be using for everyday purchases and activities. Use cards when it's possible, but carry a little cash when electronic payments aren't an option.

Driving from Malaga to the city center during peak hour can take up to 25 minutes.
Around 9am is one of the busiest times for traffic in this destination. Try to avoid peak times generally for a smoother trip.
