Here is an unofficial one to be going on with. Might not be 100% uptodate. You can enter the province and radio(radius) if you are going further afield.

Official one http://www.dgt.es/es/el-trafico/control-de-velocidad/malaga/

If you have an upto date sat nav it will tell you approx where they are, however we have TomTom and for some it tells you too late. Maybe best to chill out and stick to the limits. ;D

The locations are defined by so many km along the road from its start point. It is quite a good system used for junctions. e.g. km131 is the turn off for our town.

Last time I hired a car, did it through BA's website, for a weeks hire it added a whole £1 onto a flight ticket, I kid you not.  :o

While doing paper work at car collection, kept waiting for a new bill but nope. Weeks hire car for £1!

Was some POS Renult thing, but it did OK  :)
Assuming with BA's prices that was included. ;D
 Were flying EasyJet.

BA were cheaper  :y

Sleezyjet fly from Airports in the middle of nowhere, once you factor travel to these  :D holes like Luton then all extras. BA often cheaper all in.

One has to factor in Mr tunnie even tho not quite a lord yet, only turns right, only fly's BA,and only heathrow,anything else is unsuitable.

1) Actually it was Gatwick (since you ask)  ::)
2) You are asking for advice, so gave some on recent experience. So why the sarky comments?  ???

I think the Goldcar issue is slow customer service. It is a busy airport.

One other point to anyone hiring a car in Andalucia is that the police have cottoned on to the speed camera as a way of raising revenue. They have fixed cameras, average speed cameras and mobile units. On the main motorway inland (to Granada/Antequera) from Malaga they were getting 60 vehicles a day. There is a website in fairness telling you all the fixed cameras and areas where the mobile units are going to be. Who on holiday wants to check that!

Clinky be handy, for us holiday types

Not that it matters, but Gatwick is Easyjets largest UK base... ::)

I am with Tunnie on the BA thing... last minute day trip to Edinburgh... half the price of Easyjet and I got a meal each way 8)

And by the time you've checked a bag in and bought a decent seat, you might as well fly Club :-X

Just been following threads on an expat forum of issues with Del Paso car hire. Customers getting hit with charges for damage that may or may not have been present.

They were an avoid on my recommendations list earlier.
