Enjoy your hire car in the Port of Motril
The Port of Motril is one of the most convenient gateways to the Costa Tropical, whether you’re arriving on a cruise ship for a stopover or mooring your own boat. Having your car ready as soon as you disembark is what turns a few hours or a few days’ visit into a proper getaway in Andalusia, without having to rely on taxis or buses.
For getting around Motril, Salobrenya and the rest of the Costa Tropical, a compact car is the most convenient option, also available as an automatic or a convertible. If your plans include a trip up to Granada and the Alhambra, a tour of the Alpujarra or a drive to Nerja, an SUV or an estate car is better suited to the distances and mountain roads. If several of you are arriving from the ferry with all your luggage, a people carrier offers extra seats and boot space without splitting the group up.
Your booking includes everything you need: comprehensive cover with no excess, unlimited mileage and a fixed rate. What you confirm when you book is what you pay when you collect the car, with no hidden costs or surcharges at the end of the process.
Where to find us
Our drop-off point is located within the port grounds, in a designated area where our team will meet you as you disembark, whether you’re arriving on a cruise ship or mooring your own private boat. To book this service, simply select ‘Port of Motril’ in the location search on our website.
Once your booking has been confirmed, you will receive an email with precise instructions regarding the meeting point. We recommend that you check this email in advance, as Motril Port is quite large and can be a little confusing when you disembark.
For one-day hire, this service includes a charge of €5 for collection and €5 for return (€10 in total). For multi-day hire, collection and return are included in the price.

Make the most of your stopover in Motril
On cruise days, the port area comes alive and transport services are in high demand. Having your car waiting for you when you disembark is the most convenient way to turn your stopover into a full day’s trip – no queues, no waiting, and the freedom to set your own pace.
With your car at your disposal, Granada and the Alhambra become a key part of your day’s itinerary, and the old towns of Salobreña and Almuñécar make for a natural stop for lunch by the sea. If you’d rather head a few kilometres into the mountains, the Alpujarras offer a more authentic taste of Andalusia, with its rural cuisine and traditional spots. And when it’s time to head back, returning the car is quick and easy: from our meeting point, you can catch the free bus that takes you back to the cruise ship, without missing a minute of your stopover.
What you need to collect your car
At BayGo, we like to make sure that collection is quick and hassle-free, especially if you’re arriving with limited time after a cruise stopover or a sea crossing. That’s why it’s a good idea to have your documents ready in advance, so that everything is sorted within minutes of you disembarking.
The essential documents you need to bring are the main driver’s ID card or passport and their physical driving licence, provided they have at least one year’s driving experience. If you’re coming from outside the European Union, we recommend checking whether your country also requires an international driving permit. Don’t forget your booking reference number, which you’ll receive by email once your booking is confirmed.
We will require a credit card as a security deposit. It does not have to be in the main driver’s name, but the cardholder must be present at the time of collection. If you do not have a credit card and only have a debit card, we will process the security deposit as a €350 cash deposit, which will be refunded when you return the car. To drive with BayGo, you simply need to be at least 21 years old.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I collect my car when I disembark at the Port of Motril?
When you disembark from the cruise ship, look for the free bus that connects the port with the centre of Motril and get off at the first stop: that’s where our handover point is located. Simply head into the car park and our team will be there waiting to hand over the car to you.
You’ll receive all these instructions, along with any further details, in your booking confirmation email. We recommend checking it in advance so you’re clear on the route before disembarking.
Are there any additional charges for delivery and return at the Port of Motril?
For one-day rentals only. In this case, we charge €5 for delivery and €5 for return (€10 in total), which covers the cost of transporting the equipment to the port outside of office hours. For rentals of more than one day, delivery and return at the Port of Motril are included in the price, at no extra cost.
What does my booking with BayGo include?
Your booking includes comprehensive cover with no excess, unlimited mileage and a fixed rate from the moment you confirm. Adding a second driver incurs no extra cost, we do not apply age surcharges and, should any unforeseen issues arise on the road, we offer 24/7 assistance, 365 days a year.
Can I collect the item at the Port of Motril and return it to a different branch?
Yes, that’s what we call a one-way hire: you pick up the car here and return it at one of our other locations, whether that’s Málaga Airport or one of our four branches (Almuñécar, Nerja, Torrox or La Herradura). It’s free for rentals of 7 days or more, and a fixed charge of €30 applies to rentals of less than a week.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
