Our history: Thirty years of service

A small office in Almuñécar, a handful of cars, and the summer of 1996 ahead of us. That’s how it all began. We started with a simple idea: to offer a car hire service that met the needs of tourists visiting the Costa Tropical who were looking for more than just sunshine. Three decades on, that idea remains at the heart of everything we do.

As the years went by, our brand began to grow and evolve. First came Rent a Car Costa, followed shortly afterwards by Autos Bahía, and finally Bahia Sexi Rent a Car. Each change marked a new chapter, always with the same mission: to offer an honest, high-quality service. With each stage, the family grew too: today we have five branches between Málaga and Almuñécar, with a friendly, approachable team that has a clear goal: to ensure that picking up your hire car is the best way to start your journey.

BayGo is coming in 2026, thirty years after that first car in Almuñécar. An honest way to hire a car, designed to help you make the most of your stay in this corner of the coast that we know better than anyone. Start the engine and experience the coast at your own pace.
