03

Which car hire company is cheapest at Milan Malpensa, and what do I give up?

Target is the cheapest company at Milan Malpensa Airport for a Compact car over the last 12 months, averaging $36 a day, but you need a credit card at pickup. Target holds around $1,072 as a deposit and does not yet have enough reviews for a score, so check your available credit before choosing it. For a scored alternative, Sicily by Car averages $71 a day for a Compact car over the last 12 months, from 852 prices, and scores 90/100 from 126 reviews. Sicily by Car costs $35 more a day but holds a smaller deposit of around $226.

The cheapest company can cost you a longer queue or a bigger deposit, so check the review score and desk wait beside each car in the results before you book.

What should I be careful of when collecting a car at Milan Malpensa?

At Milan Malpensa Airport, allow for Surprice's average 90-minute pickup wait and check card acceptance before booking, because a low daily price does not guarantee a quick collection or a usable payment method. If you need to get on the road promptly, Sicily by Car's desk averages 10 minutes, so compare the pickup wait as well as the price. 18 of the 29 companies require a credit card, and another 6 accept debit cards only for some cars, so confirm your chosen car's rule before arriving.

At Milan Malpensa Airport, choose a Compact car such as a Jeep Avenger at $45 a day for November 2026, booked around a month before your trip; it seats 5 but takes only 3 bags.

Electric cars account for 4% of cars offered and hybrids for 7%, so filter by power type if you specifically want either rather than leaving that choice to pickup.
