What is “rental car caleta” at Velez Malaga? The link doesnt work. Googling it does not turn up a rental car at Velez Malaga. I have been to LEAX many times, and may go there after the Carcassonne meeting. The big problem with LEAX is that it is in the middle of nowhere. Last time I got a taxi from the airfield to Torre del Mar on the coast and rented a car to go to Marbella. Unfortunately this turned out to be a junk car, with a lot of mechanical problems. If there is somewhere reliable to rent a car in Velez Malaga that would be much better.
@Bluebird. the link works for me. I pulled it by googling ‘car rental velez malaga’.
My experience of renting a car in Malaga is that if you don’t select the bigger names—Goldcar, Centauro, etc—-you might get a sub-standard car.
You’re right. LEAX is not so accessible. That’s why I think LEGR (Granada) is a better option for visiting Andalusia. By car, it takes 1.5 hrs to get to Malaga, just 40 min more than from LEAX and a lot less hassle.

My experience with Granada was great, cheap landing, no handling, cheap parking, helpful and very responsive people, acceptable fuel price. And car rental at the airport was smooth and fast.
Just one little detail to bear in mind re Granada. Unless the situation has changed, you go through the normal security checks, same as the pax. So perhaps leave your Leatherman in the airplane!
Other than that, second the above re less hassle than LEAX. And while you’re there, find/make time to visit the Alhambra, an amazing marvel of Moorish architecture!
