Lock in your rental car with Expedia and then pay nothing until the day you collect your ride. It’s part of our handy Book Now Pay Later option. Just present a valid credit card to pay the cost in full at the pickup spot. The rental car company will also put a hold on your card for the amount of the deposit. Some cheaper offers may need to be paid upfront — the payment options will be clearly shown in the search results. When it’s time to hit the road in Málaga, Expedia will help you find your perfect set of wheels.

We all have times when plans get upended. That’s why we offer a full refund on the majority of bookings if you cancel at least six hours ahead of the pickup time. Don’t forget to double-check the cancellation policy — there are some instances where it’s not included. Found nothing there? Our Customer Service Portal has more information.
