INFORMATION ABOUT ARRIVAL DATES:

When collecting your vehicle at the airport it is vital that you supply us with the correct flight details. We use the provided flight details to check on delays; this way we can assure you that your vehicle will not be given to another client and we will meet you at the airport. Should you not be sure that the flight number you provided us with is correct then please check it and respond to this email with the correct flight number. In any case, should you have any changes to make to your booking please don´t hesitate in advising us by responding to this email. All bookings must include obligatorily a correct flight number. Please check all details before sending the form as any incorrect information will automatically make the booking void. The same applies for delivery in the train station in Malaga or the cruise terminal of the port of Malaga.

 

DETAILS OF THE COLLECTION:

Collection at Malaga Airport:
After collecting your luggage at Malaga airport PLEASE NEVER GO DOWNSTAIRS. After the sliding doors you will find one of our representatives waiting with a Malagacar.com sign who will identify himself as an employee of the company. Please remember that we are “Malagacar.com”, as there are some other companies that call themselves Malagacar, but this is not true. It is important that you assure yourself that you are renting with Malagacar.com and not with another company. It is very easy to recognize us as our logo can be found on the contracts, uniforms, car keys, mini bus, etc.

Collection at Malaga Train Station (Maria Zambrano):
After leaving the platform go to the main exit of the station. Just outside the exit you will find one of our representatives with a Malagacar.com sign who will identify himself as an employee of the company.

Collection at the Cruise Terminal at Malaga Port: 
After leaving the terminal just outside the exit you will find one of our representatives with a Malagacar.com sign who will identify himself as an employee of the company. As the time of leaving the cruise ship is not always the same we require clients to call us when they are about to disembark so that we can be there within half an hour.
