Car Hire

There are many car hire companies operating from Malaga and Granada. Some expensive with a wide range of extras and some budget with booking conditions which need to be checked.

We would recommend Helle Hollis out of both airports. They are not necessarily the cheapest but they will insure you for driving on unmade roads / drives which is useful in the area. You can find them [and book over the internet] at www.hellehollis.com.

We have arranged a 15% discount for guests via their homeowners club. Quote our number in the appropriate box it is H2821

Please note the following:

  1. Discount only available over the Internet and not on category A [the smallest cars]. You also need to book a month in advance
  2. In case when you arrive you are asked where you are staying then our official address with them is Cortijo del Canal, 18413 Capileira, Granada, Spain
  3. If free upgrades are available you should qualify
  4. We recommend that:
    • You have at least a 1.6 car with air-conditioning
    • That you take out their collision damage waiver - Spanish love to bump park
    • That you take out their super collision damage waiver [this is only an extra euro a day] and covers for driving on unmade roads and for damage to the underside of the car - many cheaper companies specifically exclude this in their small print
