City offices for the big four cluster around Camino de Ronda and the train station. Albaicín pickup is not offered — too tight.
Driving notes
ZBE covers the historic center. The Alhambra has a paid car park; do not try to park near the Mirador de San Nicolás.

DESTINATIONS BY CAR
Within 2 hours of Granada
Córdoba
Córdoba · 165 km
The Mosque-Cathedral, a maze-like Jewish quarter and Andalucía's most famous patios — under two hours from Málaga on the A-45, and far more rewarding when you control your own arrival time.
Granada
Granada · 130 km
The Moorish Alhambra, the tangled lanes of the Albaicín and the Sierra Nevada rising behind it all — Andalusia's great inland day trip, about an hour and a half from Málaga by car.
Sierra Nevada
Granada · 170 km
Mainland Spain's highest mountains, less than an hour above Granada: Europe's southernmost major ski resort in winter, high-altitude hiking in summer — and a spectacular mountain road either way.
Frequently asked · Granada
It depends on the supplier. Mainstream brands typically hold €200–€1,500 on a credit card until return. Partners we link to with the "no deposit" badge waive the hold in exchange for a per-day insurance fee.
EU/EEA, UK and US licenses are accepted in Spain. An IDP is recommended (not required) for US, Canada and Australia drivers — bring the original license too. Check your home country's rule before you fly.
Yes — one-way drop-off to Seville, Granada or Almería is common from Málaga Airport. Expect a €40–€90 fee depending on the supplier and class. Drop-off outside Andalusia varies.
