How to find a cheap car hire deal in Estepona

  • Make your move with a cheap rental car in Estepona. With prices averaging $179 a day, it's an easy win for your budget and your plans. From city cars to family movers, we'll help you pick your ideal ride at a price that fits.

  • Reserve your ride in November and keep your spending in low gear. It's the cheapest month to rent a car in Estepona, with average daily rates of $72.

  • Pick up a cheap rental car in Estepona by booking in advance. You're more likely to get the best value with the most choice.

  • Rental plus, Enterprise and Sixt are some of the most popular providers offering car hire deals in Estepona.

  • The coverage Rental plus or another company includes with your Estepona car hire can differ, so be sure to read the small print. While some include a collision damage waiver (CDW), others will charge extra for it.

  • Choosing a one-way car hire is often a great hack for finding a deal. Check 'Return car to a different location' when searching for a car for rent in Estepona. Providers often need to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can snag some fantastic one-way prices.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car hire in Estepona with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. No surprise refueling fees tacked on at the end either.

  • Hit the road without tracking every mile and racking up extra charges. Go to the 'Policies' filter and click 'Unlimited mileage' to find a ride that lets you drive as far as you want.

Compare car hire types in Estepona

  • Van: If you're looking for a car for rent in Estepona that can handle a small crowd (and all their gear), a van is the practical pick. Including commercial vans and trucks, they're just the thing for group excursions, business needs or moving.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Car rental excess insurance isn't mandatory, but is something you should consider. If you're in a collision, no matter how minor, it can help you avoid paying a big excess fee. Different Estepona car hire providers have different insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the details before booking.

  • Make driving easier when you rent a car in Estepona by adding a few handy extras. Think things like a navigation system to keep you headed the right way, or reverse cameras that'll help you park like a pro.

Good to know

  • To rent a vehicle in Spain, you typically have to be at least 21 years old. Some locations may allow younger drivers to rent vehicles for an extra fee, so always check the terms before finalizing your ride.

  • Bringing the kids with you? Child car seat laws vary from one place to another, and the correct setup may depend on their height, weight and age. Make sure you add the right one to your Estepona car hire booking.

  • Keep things moving and road-trip it to Fuente Palmera, roughly 145 kilometres north of Estepona. First, swing past Parque del Flamenco, then follow it up with Parroquia de la Purísima Concepción.
