renroc13 Posted March 17, 2016 #1 Share Posted March 17, 2016 After reading many posts I think we will rent a car from the train station and return it to the train station 9 days later rather than dealing with a rental at the airport. We will be disembarking from our cruise in Malaga 2 days earlier and spending the time in the towns around Malaga before flying to Venice. My question is are there more than one train stations in Malaga?? I notice Enterprise is at Estacion Ave but the name of the train station I have seen is Maria Zambrano Station...is this the same location?? If not what is the name of the train station we should book a rental from? Please advise. Thank You Karen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you....On our last trip we rented in Madrid (a good University rate)...we spent several days traveling and then returned the Madrid car to the Malaga airport and rented for another 2 weeks from Carjet at The Malaga Airport (as they gave us a much better deal for the next 2 weeks). From what I am reading it looks like we are better off taking a taxi from the port to the train station instead of dealing with the airport since we are not flying in. Our University rate is the same from both places. We will be spending 10 days in the area and I suspect it will also be easier to drop the car at the train station and take a taxi to the airport upon the return. Thank you for confirming this for us.

Rare ollienbertsmum Posted April 9, 2016 #6 Share Posted April 9, 2016 For your information you do not need to bother with a taxi, there is a very regular train service that goes directly from Maria Zambrano Station to Malaga airport. The walk from the train station to the terminal in Malaga is flat and very easy. I park my car at Malaga airport and go via this light railway to Maria Zambrano to catch the fast train to Barcelona and my cruise ship (next week yay:D) .

We will actually leave the ship in Malaga and rent a car from the train station this trip. Less hassle than running to the airport and closer.
