Picking up at AGP

Rental center
Rental desks sit together on Level -1 of what is now one connected terminal complex (the old T1/T2/T3 split still shows on signage, but T2 and T3 run as a single building). After signing, most firms shuttle you about 5 minutes to the P2 parking structure to collect the car; a few off-site firms run their own shuttle from outside arrivals. Summer books out fast across the whole Costa del Sol, so late bookings get stuck with smaller, pricier cars.
Driving & tolls
The AP-7 toll motorway runs parallel to the free A-7 along the coast from Malaga through Marbella to Estepona, with manned booths taking cash or card; tolls rise further in July and August under seasonal pricing. Most rentals don't carry a Via-T tag by default, so budget for booth stops if you take the AP-7. Drive on the right; the free A-7 through town centers slows to a crawl with roundabouts and beach traffic in season.
Terminals
Terminal 2, Terminal 3

Good to know before you book at AGP

Suppliers on site
Avis, Budget, Sixt, Europcar, Hertz, Firefly, Goldcar/InterRent and Record Go have terminal desks. OK Mobility and Centauro, strong Spanish operators, are also present, with Centauro off-site via free shuttle.
Fees that inflate the rate
Spain includes 21% VAT in quoted rates. Airport desks usually carry a location surcharge versus off-airport branches, and refueling yourself is cheaper than a prepaid full-to-empty tank.
When prices peak
Demand and prices peak in July and August on the Costa del Sol and are lowest outside the summer months.

Pick a terminal-based desk such as Avis, Sixt or OK Mobility to skip the shuttle, and always refuel the car yourself before return instead of prepaying a full tank.
