Terms & conditions - your questions answered
Passport - do they keep it?
Chauffeur transfer: no - you are a passenger, no documents needed or held.
Self-drive car / scooter: they see + photocopy your passport & licence but do not keep them. The security is a deposit frozen on your credit card (car EUR 400-1500 (₹43600-163500); scooter ~EUR 300 (₹32700)), released after return.
Driver tip
Not obligatory in Spain. For a good full-day private driver, EUR 10-20 (₹1090-2180) in cash is a generous, appreciated gesture (~10% for exceptional). Never expected like the US.
Driver meals / stay
This is a same-day one-way transfer - the driver returns the same day. You pay nothing for the driver's food or accommodation; it is all inside the fixed price. (Only multi-day hires would involve that.)
Payment - advance, on arrival, how much?
Varies by operator: MalagaTransfer = pay on arrival (cash to driver) + free cancel to 24h. Taxi Sevilla Sol = card / Bizum / bank transfer, usually on the day or a small hold. Others: often a deposit + balance to the driver. Prefer pay-on-arrival or free-cancellation; avoid non-refundable full prepay (some cheap brokers force it then refuse refunds on delays).
Self-drive documents & deposit
Passport/ID + driving licence + credit card in the main driver's name. Non-EU (Indian) licence is accepted but carry an International Driving Permit (needed at police checks). Min age 21 (young-driver surcharge under 25). 125cc scooter needs A1/A or a car licence held 3+ years. Deposit is a card pre-authorisation, not a charge.
Card amounts on cards are published direct fares or estimates - the binding figure is each operator's fixed quote for your exact dates.

Nexo Transfer
Private transfer specialist
Pros
Published price table online (rare transparency)
Spotless vehicles, drivers offer cold water
Great pre-trip WhatsApp comms; waited patiently through a lost-luggage delay
Drivers know routes to dodge highway slowdowns
Company with several drivers = better availability
Cons
A TripAdvisor review titled 'Unbelievably unreliable' cited a 25-min-late Malaga pickup + a 4:30am hotel pickup that went to the wrong side of town
Company (not solo driver) so individual driver quality can vary
Board prices are airport-based; your custom route needs a quote
Why take them - real reviewDrivers were on time and friendly, the driver gave us a bottle of water, vehicles very clean with plenty of space. (5 star, 1 month ago)
Watch-outs / negatives'Unbelievably unreliable' - one traveller reported the driver 25 min late at Malaga and, on a 4:30am hotel pickup, went to the other side of town so they had to guide him by phone (TripAdvisor). Nexo replied disputing the booking was theirs. 96% still recommend.
Astonishing 5.0 over 2,157 reviews - the standout on trust
One trusted operator (Eduardo); superb WhatsApp, even sends a photo of the car
Arrives early, spotless car, quotes in English
Child seats shown in photos in advance; pets OK with harness
Pay by Card / Bizum / bank transfer
Cons
Solo operator = availability risk on a specific date - book early
Seville-based; does the one-way then returns (priced in, fine)
Why take them - real reviewEduardo even sent a picture of his car so I knew what to look for... arrived early, car was spotless, replied and gave a price quote in English. Super easy. (5 star)
Watch-outs / negativesNo negatives in the top reviews (5.0 over 2,157). The only real risk is that he is one person - lock your date in early.

Flight monitoring, no luggage fees
Smart Mercedes fleet; drivers dressed smartly, strong English

Handled a roadworks detour without fuss
Cons
Quote-only (no public price board) - less instant transparency
Malaga-based, so a Seville-origin pickup must be confirmed and may price higher
Books via web form rather than instant WhatsApp
Why take them - real reviewGreeted at the airport by our driver Pepi, smartly dressed, very courteous... escorted to a beautiful clean Mercedes parked only 100 yards away. Fabulous service. (5 star)
Watch-outs / negativesNo negatives surfaced in the top reviews (4.9 over 308). Trade-off is opacity (quote-only) and it is a Malaga company handling a Seville pickup.

Santiago is a local Ronda expert - ideal for the Setenil/Ronda middle leg
Premium clean car (reviewers mention a Tesla), water provided
Excellent WhatsApp comms; proactively warns about roadworks/timing
Hotel-referred; offers comfort/toilet stops
Cons
Ronda-based solo operator - for a full Seville->Malaga he travels to Seville first, so may cost more or prefer Ronda-origin trips
One person = availability risk
Transfer price on request (no board)
Why take them - real reviewSantiago drove us Ronda to Seville airport... lovely smooth ride in a Tesla, water provided. Excellent communication via WhatsApp. (5 star, 1 month ago)
Watch-outs / negativesNo negatives in the top reviews (4.9 over 401). Constraint is logistics: he is one driver based in Ronda, so confirm he can do the Seville start.

Fast WhatsApp confirms (~10 min); drivers help with luggage

Saves the hassle of renting/parking
Cons
One reviewer noted the driver 'did not speak much English'
Their website was DOWN when we checked - book via WhatsApp
Slightly lower rating (4.8) than the peer set; price only by quote
Why take them - real reviewWhatsApped the day before, responded within 10 mins; the driver messaged in the morning and was there within a minute. Would really recommend. (5 star)
Watch-outs / negativesA real review notes a driver 'did not speak much English' - fine but communicate simply. Also the site was unreachable at build time, so WhatsApp is the reliable channel.
