What Counts as "Long-Term"?
In Spain, anything over 28 days is considered a long-term rental. You can often book for 1, 3, 6 or 12 months with discounts that grow the longer you keep the car.
Most companies let you extend or change cars mid-rental if your plans shift — perfect for seasonal residents, remote workers or digital nomads.
Typical Monthly Prices
| Vehicle type | Monthly price |
|---|---|
| Small car (Fiat 500, Toyota Aygo) | €350–€550/month |
| Compact (Seat León, VW Golf) | €550–€750/month |
| Family/SUV | €800–€1200/month |
| Automatic / Premium | €1200–€1500/month |
Prices include basic insurance and local taxes. Mileage limits (e.g. 2000–2500 km/month) may apply. For unlimited kilometres, check the conditions in advance.

Where to Pick Up Your Long-Term Rental
Most long-term rentals in Marbella are picked up either in Marbella town centre, Puerto Banús, or directly at Málaga Airport (AGP). Airport pickup is usually the easiest option for visitors, while town-centre or Puerto Banús offices suit residents who don't need an airport transfer. One-way or relocation fees may apply if you return the car to a different location than where you picked it up — always confirm this before booking.
Pros & Cons of Long-Term Rental
Advantages
- ✓No long contracts — return anytime after a month
- ✓Insurance, road tax & maintenance included
- ✓Newer cars, fuel efficient and clean
- ✓Free replacement car if yours needs service
- ✓Often cheaper than short-term rental after 4 weeks
Disadvantages
- −Higher cost than long leases (over 1 year)
- −Deposit or credit card block required (€600–€1500)
- −Mileage limits unless you pay extra
- −Must return to same location unless agreed
Insurance & Deposit
All long-term rentals include basic insurance (CDW). But if you plan to drive regularly or park on the street, it's smart to add Super Cover (zero excess) — see our full car hire insurance guide — that way you won't risk paying for scratches or minor damage.
Most companies take a deposit or credit card hold — usually released a few days after return; our deposit & credit card guide explains the rules. Debit cards are accepted by some providers if you add full coverage.
Tips to Save Money
- Book for 28 days or more — daily rates drop by up to 40%.
- Pick up and return to the same location (avoids relocation fees).
- Choose compact or diesel models for lower fuel use.
- Ask about included kilometres — extra km can add up fast.
- Compare insurance packages before confirming the booking.
Alternatives: Leasing & Car Subscription
If you plan to stay longer than 6–12 months, you might also look into car subscription or leasing. These options often include insurance, maintenance, and road tax, but usually require Spanish residency and a longer commitment.
