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.

Pain free car hire

We’ve hired from Cargest many times now. They are a fraction more expensive than the likes of Firefly and Malagacar but what makes them different is the speed and efficiency of pick up without any hard sell of added insurance, the quality and condition of the cars and a tendency to upgrade without extra charge. I always book a Seat Leon or equivalent and over the years I’ve been issued typically with a BMW 1 series. I’ve also had a BMW 4 series cabrio, a Jeep Compass.

Thank you very much for your review, Jon.

First of all, we hope this latest trip to Málaga was just as special as the previous ones. It’s a pleasure to hear that, after renting from us so many times, you still find the speed and efficiency in our service that you’re looking for to start your holiday stress-free.

We’re delighted that you were able to enjoy driving models such as the BMW 1 Series, the 4 Series Convertible or the Jeep Compass. We know that for a customer who books a Seat León, being offered a higher-end vehicle is a touch that makes the journey much more comfortable and enjoyable, and we love being able to surprise you in this way whenever our fleet allows. We really appreciate that you value the freedom of renting with us without any sales pressure, allowing you to focus solely on enjoying the car and your stay.

We thank you for recommending us, as your trust after so many years is our greatest satisfaction.

Thank you for always choosing us, and we look forward to seeing you on your next visit!

Kind regards,
The CarGest Team.

Price, quality, and service are absolutely top‑notch

Natuurlijk — hier is de Engelse vertaling:

Had a very good experience with Cargest.
When we arrived at the airport, a shuttle bus was ready to take us to the pickup location where the rental car was waiting.
The car was as good as new and clean.
Returning the car was also very pleasant and quick.
Another shuttle bus was ready to take us back to the airport.
Price, quality, and service are absolutely top‑notch.

Next time I will rent from Cargest again

Got a tip from a friend to rent from Cargest. The site is clear and straightforward. Waiting for the car took almost half an hour, probably because my flight was delayed. The car (Seat Ibiza) drove perfectly and returning it went very smoothly and quickly. Next time I will rent from Cargest again.

Everything was going smooth

Everything was going smooth and the pickup point was near by the airport. By delivery of the car it was not complete clear that you got no delivery paper with no damage etc. We made pictures that the car was in the depot to have some evidence that the car was deliverd.

Thank you for your review.

We’re pleased to hear that, overall, everything went smoothly and that you found the collection point convenient.

Regarding your comments on the handover process, we fully understand your caution. We want to give you complete peace of mind, and taking photos of the vehicle is always an excellent practice for the traveller’s peace of mind, although we carry out an internal technical inspection after every return. If you have premium insurance, you can rest assured, as this insurance covers any damage so that the customer can enjoy their trip without worries.

We have taken good note of your comment regarding the lack of a physical document at that moment; our aim is to make the process quick so that you do not waste time before your flight, but we will work on improving communication so that you leave with complete confidence that everything has been recorded correctly and without damage.

Thank you very much for choosing CarGest Málaga Airport and we look forward to welcoming you back!

Kind regards,
The CarGest Team.

We’re delighted to hear that everything went perfectly, from the outward shuttle bus to the return journey; for us, it’s essential that transfers are punctual and comfortable.

A pro-customer (rather than anti-customer) Car Rental agency

Having heard plenty of horror stories from others regarding car rentals, I am delighted that CarGest took the anxiety out of renting a car for me. From the start, they were not pushy on upselling insurance products to me, since my normal rate was "fully insured." This policy was put to the test when my rental car was hit from behind by another car. In all my intereactions with CarGest employees regarding this accident, they were understanding and helpful; paperwork was minimized and it was a piece of cake when I returned the slightly-damaged car. With this excellent experience, I will be booking with CarGest for all my future car rentals in Spain and elsewhere where they are present.

Thank you for your review, Nomadi.

First of all, we hope that, despite the setback with the vehicle, you thoroughly enjoyed your stay in Málaga.

We are delighted to have alleviated the anxiety that car hire can sometimes cause; for us, transparency is the foundation of everything, which is why we never pressure customers into taking out additional insurance if they already have cover.

We are very sorry to hear about the incident you had with the other vehicle, but we are reassured to know that our staff rose to the occasion, showing understanding and helpfulness at such a difficult time. We work precisely to ensure that, even in situations like this, the paperwork is kept to a minimum and the return process is a breeze for you.

Thank you very much for recommending us and for choosing us as your go-to option for future rentals!

We look forward to seeing you again soon!

Kind regards,
The CarGest Team.

We’re absolutely delighted to hear that you’ve never been made to feel so welcome when hiring a car; for us, providing a warm welcome from the very first moment is what matters most.

We’re delighted to hear that you found the BMW X1 fantastic during those two weeks and that the transport service worked perfectly.

New car and professional handling

New car, quick processing for both pickup and return. In one word TOP!
A tip for Cargest: although it is not legally required, buy the low-emission zone sticker for 6 euros anyway and stick it on the windscreen. It prevents a lot of stress for the renter and avoids arguments with the police in cities where the physical sticker is mandatory.

Thank you very much for your comment, Peter.

We’re delighted that you were pleased with the new car and the speed of our service, and that you enjoyed your time in Málaga.

Regarding the sticker, we really appreciate your advice and will take it on board, but we want to put your mind at rest: virtually all car hire fleets, including ours, are authorised to drive in low-emission zones.
As these are new vehicles, the authorities already assume they comply with environmental regulations, even if they do not have the physical sticker on the windscreen. This is something the police already take into account with hire cars.

We hope to see you in Málaga soon!

Kind regards,
