Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the efficient and friendly service, highlighting the helpfulness of the staff. Many appreciate the quick and easy pick-up and drop-off processes, often noting the absence of pressure to purchase additional insurance. The quality of the vehicles is frequently mentioned, with many reviewers receiving clean, new, or upgraded cars. The convenient shuttle bus service to and from the airport is also a significant positive point for many. However, some customers have experienced minor inconveniences with the shuttle service, such as being dropped off at the pick-up point instead of departures, or finding the first shuttle bus full. A few people also noted issues with car features like windshield wipers, or a single instance where luggage was left in the car upon return.

The pick up from the airport collection…

The pick up from the airport collection area to receiving the car was no more than 20minutes.
The car was very clean, well maintained with very low mileage.
The return was a 100M before the pick up location and again was no more than 20 minutes from the time of drop off to the airport.
Next year i will be returning to Cargest, to date the best service we have ever had.

Hiring cars abroad sometimes feels like a risk but not with this company. I must have researched nearly every Malaga car company and decided to go with Car Guest. I was very pleased with the results. The well valued car, not a huge addition for toddler seat and additional driver and we were upgraded to Automatic. It was worth every penny. Full to full return is also a bonus as you know where you stand where as other are half full to half full which is hard to work out.

Good value and a good service for a clean car

I've used Cargest 4 or 5 times for hire's in Malaga for our family holiday's and thoroughly recommend them.

The courtesy bus is usually there to pick you up within 10 mins and is clean and air conditioned.

Car collection is quick and the cars are always clean and in good condition.

The all inclusive package with unlimited mileage and full insurance is good value.

Return of the vehicle is always straight forward and return courtesy bus to the airport is quick

Excellent service, very nice car,

We hired a car for 2 adults and 1 child, we got a nice carseat for our son.
We drove a nice VW T-Cross, almost brand new with a lot of luxurious options. This car was perfect for the mountain area near Malaga where slept during our vacation.

It was also very nice that we could be transported from the airport to cargest with a taxi-bus.

We are planning for visiting Malaga again, and if we do, we will hire our car again with cargest.

Very nice people who work there and fast with delivery and withdraw.

Definitely recommended

Thank you for your comment, Iris.

We're thrilled to read that your experience was so positive. The T-Cross is a very versatile and comfortable car, with that extra bit of equipment that makes it perfect for both city and highway driving, and we're delighted to know that you enjoyed it on your vacation.

Your praise for the team's speed and friendliness is, without a doubt, the best reward for our daily work.

We'd love to welcome you back on your next visit to Malaga!

We did rent a car from CarGest for 9 days at the late of August. The experience was best which we ever had! We have rented cars before from different kind of international companies and all over europe and United States and also part of Asia, but we never had this kind of ultimately positive experience! :)

It was very easy to find CarGest shuttle from Malaga airport and even busy time, we did not need to wait for the shuttle at all.

At the CarGest office when we did pick up the BMW X2 rental car, the CarGest representive was very friendly and helpful. Regarding the Beamer X2, it was loaded with optional extras, such as 360 camera, leather interior, etc. so the car was very nice! :) Also you could see that they are very effective, so even during peak hours or months they are faster than their competitors when it comes to service clients.

When we did return the car to the CarGest, their representive was also very friendly and professional and we did feel very welcome to use their car rental services.

Unfortunately I don`t remember the names of representives who help and serve us, but I hope that this feedback will be shared with them.

Again, thanks a lot for wonderful experience and we will definitely will be using your rental cars everytime we are back at Malaga Spain ! :)

We're so happy to read your review. We're thrilled to know that your best experience was here with us in Malaga. That means a lot to the entire team!

We're delighted that you enjoyed our BMW X2; it's a spectacular car, with a sporty design and full of details that make it very special. And, of course, we'll pass on your words to our colleagues in the office and at the return office: they'll surely be thrilled to read them.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for recommending us so warmly. We'll be delighted to welcome you back whenever you return to Malaga!

We were really impressed by CarGest

We were really impressed by Cargest, simple and efficient. No hidden charges. You pay for your car as advertised when you arrive and then you pay a deposit (depending on grade of car) as well. Have a look at the FAQ on their website so you are clear about the deposit. Our flight was late into Malaga so we got to the pick up desk around midnight. There is a shuttle bus that picks you up outside of the terminal and takes you to the pick up which is only a couple of minutes away. We were told the car had a couple of scratches but not to worry as we would not be charged. Being the cynical souls we are we took photos anyway. Upon return they were true to their word, the scratches were not a problem. The drop off is so efficient, drive in, quick check around and then taken to the airport. All in all it took about 10 minutes. Be sure to make a note that the drop off is not in the same place that you pick up! It’s on the same block just around the corner.

We will definitely use Cargest again!

We are delighted to read your detailed and positive review. You have perfectly described how our rental experience works, from the shuttle service to the return of the vehicle. We know that flight delays can be a hassle, so we do our utmost to make pick-up quick and easy, even at midnight.

We're also delighted that you've seen first-hand that we keep our word when it comes to premium insurance. We want our customers to drive with peace of mind, without worrying about any surprises. And we're glad you highlighted how quick the return process is: it usually only takes a few minutes, so you can continue your journey without delay.

Thank you very much for placing your trust in us. We look forward to seeing you again in Malaga!

We are glad to hear that your experience at Malaga Airport was positive! It is true that, as one of the busiest airports in Spain, it can sometimes be very crowded, especially during peak season. That is why at CarGest we try to make picking up and returning your car as quick and easy as possible, so that this detail does not cause any extra inconvenience during your trip.

Easy to pick up and drop off straightforward and the shuttle back and forth the airport was convenient. The only downside was I did have a few questions prior to my travel and I couldn't get through to anyone on the customer services easily.
