ミハス レンタカー

No, the old part is closed to non-residents. Use the large public car park just below the centre at Avenida Virgen de la Peña and walk up.

It fills by mid-morning in July and August, so arrive early or take the bus from Fuengirola.

A credit card is not always required - it is needed to hold the security deposit. At pickup the supplier freezes the deposit amount on the card: the money is not charged and is released when you return the car undamaged.

Without a credit card you still have options: choose a cash-payment rate (the «Cash» filter option) or a no-deposit rate, and nothing is held.

The deposit is an amount the rental company holds as a guarantee for the car. Road fines or damage can be deducted from it.

If the car comes back without problems, the deposit is released in full. It is a temporary hold on your card, not a charge.

It depends on the car class and the supplier - you can see the exact amount on each car's card.

You can set a maximum deposit in the filter and the catalogue shows only matching offers. The lower you set it, the fewer cars remain.

Yes. To see cars with no deposit, use the «No deposit» filter option. There are also cars with a small deposit or cash payment.

Note that "no deposit" means no hold at pickup, not no booking payment - a small upfront amount is still taken when you book. If nothing suits, contact our support team.

The deposit is the amount frozen on your card at pickup and released when you return the car undamaged.

The excess is the part of any damage you pay yourself even with insurance - anything above it is covered by the insurer.

In practice, damage is taken from the deposit up to the excess, so the deposit is often set to match it. A full, zero-excess policy removes both: you do not pay for damage and the hold is usually waived.

Cover comes in levels:

• TPL (third-party liability) - compulsory and always included; covers damage you cause to others.
• CDW (Collision Damage Waiver) - covers damage to the hire car itself, except glass and tyres.
• Super CDW - reduces or removes the excess and covers what CDW does not, including glass and wheels; with it the car is usually given with no deposit.

You see the available rates on each car's card when booking.

• Minimum cover - only damage to other cars; you pay for your own car's bodywork, glass and wheels.
• Basic (CDW) - adds partial cover for your car in an accident, but not glass or tyres.
• Full cover (Super CDW) - covers all damage, including glass and wheels, and nothing is taken from the deposit.

If you would rather not depend on the deposit and excess, choose the full rate.

Yes, some cars can be paid in cash - use the «Cash» filter option.

You pay a small upfront amount by debit or credit card when booking (usually 15-20% of the total), and the rest in cash at pickup.

Yes, paying for the car with cryptocurrency is possible - contact our support team to arrange it.

Gibraltar is about an hour and a half west and the Portuguese border around 3 hours along the coast. Cross-border trips must be agreed with the supplier in advance - there may be a small service fee and extra insurance.

To see cars allowed across the border, use the filter option or contact our support team. Do not cross the border undeclared.

Yes. In the search, set a pick-up and a drop-off point - for example collect in Mijas and return in Fuengirola, Marbella or Malaga.

By default the car is returned to the same place you collected it.

Most are manual, as across Spain. An automatic makes the winding 8 km climb up to Mijas Pueblo easier, especially in summer. Automatics cost more and sell out first, so book one early if you want it.

You need a passport, a driving licence and the rental voucher - the voucher can be shown on your phone or tablet.

It states the final price with your chosen options and insurance, so the amount due at the desk will not change.

To hire through our rental companies you need at least 2 years of driving experience.
