Mijas Forum: car rental at Gibraltar airport - confused!

 car rental at Gibraltar airport - confused! 

We are flying into Gibraltar and staying at Mijas in early April, as we found relatively good rates on Easyjet. But in trying to book a car with Europcar via the Easyjet website, it seems to say that pickup and dropoffs are in Algeciras? Am I reading this wrong?

In reading the posts in the forums, it seems everyone recommends picking up the car off airport, but I will have my young daughter and mother in law with us, so I don't know how far we'll want to walk.

Europcar seems to be the easiest and cheapest, but only if there's transportation to the airport and back.

Does anyone know what the best (and least expensive) option is?

Thanks!

In my experience, the best car rental arrangement will be from one of the companies having a presence at La Linea, the Spanish town just across the border. It is a shortish walk from the airport building to the border going through the frontier customs building. At La Linea you can find your rental car but when I hired it was from Auriga Crown through the service of Carjet.co.uk the Car Rental broker people. I walked another few minutes from the border crossing to find the garage where the cars are stored and it took a few minutes to find the car and exit La Linea.
