Maybe it is part of the renovation? It may be the case that the construction means that it is no longer possible to collect you car and leave the airport using the old car parking area....

Still, it did used to be nice that the car hire was located in such a convenient part near the baggage carousels....

Anyone else know about this?

This is true for centauro, they have a new collection and drop off point out near St Julian close to the airport.

I picked up a car on Friday and it was chaos.The desk in the arrivals hall was unattended and when i phoned the number i was directed around the adjacent carparks looking for a courtesy bus that was driving around the airport looking for me.

The collection point is also going to create havoc,as the drop off point has not been seperated from the pick up point and if you can recall a time when the queue for collection has been snaking around the airport at busy times,then imagine what it will be like when drop off/collectors are waiting in the same queue.

It might be early days yet and Centauro may get their act in order and the other rental companies may also be shipping out of the airport but speaking as a Gold card member for Centauro, i for one will not be using their services and will be advising everyone to use a company with desks still located within the terminal.

My collection and drop off time this weekend added in excess of an hour to my journey.

if anyone knows whether the other rental companies are following Centauros lead and moving out of the airport please let me know. 

Has anyone been through Malaga Airport recently and hired a car, have a flight booked to arrive on 26th May and ideally don't want to have to get a courtesy bus to pick up a car, as appears to be the case now with Centauro.

 Do any of the other car hire companies still have a desk at the airport and collection / drop-off point in the car park.

Thanks

Hello Tony,

Auriga Crown, Helle Hollis, Record, Autos Lidos, Goldcar Europa, Europcar all have have desks at the airport, there are a couple of others (Avis, Hertz ?) as well. Beware the ques at some, particularly Auriga Crown and Goldcar, alot of the car hire brokers use them, have had to que 90 mins at busy times.
