Airport Transfers – Alternatives to Renting a Car
Elviria has two airports in its vicinity of which Malaga International Airport is the closest. Gibraltar Airport on the southern tip of Spain provides a further gateway for holidaymakers wishing to visit Elviria.
Malaga Airport is forty kilometres away with a travel time of thirty minutes while Gibraltar Airport is a fair eighty-eight kilometres away.
Taxi
One of the easiest ways to get to Elviria from the airport is to catch a taxi. From Gibraltar Airport it will cost €104 and from Malaga Airport €56 each way.
Trains
Elviria has no train station and the best option by train would be to travel as far as Fuengirola and then either catch a bus or a taxi to Elviria. There are no trains from Gibraltar Airport.
Bus
Getting to Elviria by bus from Malaga Airport also is challenging as the bus service does not stretch as far as the resort but has its terminus in Marbella. From Marbella you can then catch a taxi to Elviria. The taxi fare from Marbella to Elviria would be approximately€18.
Bus services from La Linea de la Concepcion across the border again will take you as far as Marbella and from there again use the taxi service.
Shuttle Bus
It seems that are no direct public transport services between Malaga International or Gibraltar Airport and Elviria which only leaves the options of a direct transfer unless you wish to drive yourself. You can expect to pay €72 return for a family of four.
Car Rental FAQ
As most public transport services seem to be challenging there is always the easy way of looking at car hire. Malaga Airport is a large airport so that there are many car rental agencies based in the terminal building to choose from such as Auriga Crown, Autos Lido, Avis, Europcar, Goldcar Rental, Hertz, National Atesa, Record, Sixt and Sol-Mar.
Unfortunately there are far fewer car rental options at Gibraltar Airport and you can choose to book your car rental with Niza or Avis Cars.
As with anything and everything car rental policies vary from company to company but they do have a lot of the same criteria needed to rent a car in common.
Minimum Age
Age restrictions: All people have to be the minimum of twenty-one years of age and some rental companies will not accept car rental bookings of applicants under the age of twenty-five. More experienced drivers are also offered cheaper rental quotations so it is wise to always make the oldest person in your party to make the reservation.
Extra Named Drivers
Many rental companies will allow for a named driver completely free of charge as long as they meet the age restriction and are able to present the correct paperwork at the time of picking up the rental car.
Must-Have Documents
What documents does the rental agent need to see? You will need to produce your current valid drivers licence, passport as well as the credit card with which the booking as made.
Car-Hire Insurance
Do I need to show them my current insurance documents? Insurance documents are not a requirement unless you have taken out an annual policy for smaller items. All rental cars are third party insured. Medical expenses are not covered by this insurance policy but would be covered with the travel insurance should you have purchased some.
What If?
You can also pay an additional small fee to cover yourself while on holiday should you lose your car keys, have a punctured tyre or chip your windscreen. Some of the Spanish roads are not in as good a state as they should be owing to the often unpredictable weather conditions.
Theft
What happens if my car is stolen while on holiday? Your rental agreement does provide for theft protection. If you do intend to use your car longer than the agreed time, then it is always best to inform the agent otherwise they may report it stolen, which will result in major problems with the local police.
If you do return your car later than two hours past the agreed time, then you can expect to pay for an extra day.
Petrol Policies
Is petrol included in the price of the rental car? That varies from company to company and the best policy is to return the car in the same condition in which you rented it. People arriving on late flights should think of renting a car with petrol as the petrol stations close at 22:00 hours to reopen the next day at 06:00.
A petrol station is located at the entrance of Malaga International Airport and less than a kilometre away from Gibraltar Airport. Refuelling is an important issue because if you hired one fully tanked up you will need to return it the same way as otherwise the rental agent will do it for you and charge you an admin charge on top.
Roadside Assistance
What do I do if I break down? Included in the rental is a free twenty-four hour breakdown service where the problem will be sorted quickly or you will be given a new car to rent.
Speeding & Traffic Fines
Should you be unlucky enough to receive any traffic fines while on holiday, it is best to take the fine to the nearest town hall and pay it or at least inform the agent on duty of the matter on return of the vehicle. All fines will eventually be traced back to the car rental company who will have no qualms charging the fine to your credit card with a nice administration fee on top.
Extras
Things to look out for when hiring a car are items such as boot space, petrol and air conditioning. All cars are well serviced, new and should have air conditioning. Luxury models also have a built in GPS and should you wish to rent a car that doesn’t have one you can rent a GPS from €5 a day locally or bring your own. A GPS isn’t normally included in the insurance so do check out the small print as GPS’s are popular items to steal and you would be held responsible.
Infant and booster seats can be reserved at the same time as you book the car rental. Do not wait until you arrive, otherwise you may find that you that they have all been rented out and face further expense. Bay seats can be rented from as little as €2 a day. Of course you are always welcome to bring your own.
Further optional extras include items such as ski racks and snow chains which you will need should you be considering a visit to the Sierra Nevada. Roof racks and roof boxes can be rented should you have too much luggage to fit into your boot.
Mileage
All car rental companies also offer a policy of unlimited mileage so you can explore and make the most of your holiday without any limitations.
Car rental is seasonal and you can expect to pay premium rates during the months of July and August and far less during the off peak months.
