Car Hire on the Costa del Sol, From a Local Family Since 1982
Car hire on the Costa del Sol with Fetajo means one thing: your car is handed to you in person at Málaga Airport arrivals, or delivered to your hotel anywhere on the coast. No shuttle bus to an off-site depot and a closed price with insurance, same-to-same fuel and 24/7 roadside assistance. We are a Málaga family business with more than 4,000 cars of our own.
We started in Calahonda in 1982 with 10 cars. Four decades later we run four offices between Málaga and the western coast, and every car in the fleet is ours, never subcontracted. That is why we can promise the same service in Nerja as in Estepona.

Fetajo vs. the Usual Off-Airport Car Hire
Many cheap deals for the Costa del Sol are booked through brokers and collected at a depot outside the terminal. This is how the two compare:
| Fetajo | Typical off-airport deal | |
|---|---|---|
| Where you collect | Arrivals hall, face to face | Shuttle bus to a depot |
| Waiting time | Car ready on arrival | Bus plus desk queue |
| Price | Closed when you book | Extras added at the desk |
| Who you deal with | The company that owns the car | A broker, then a local supplier |
| Final price | Closed when you book | Extras offered at the counter |
