Speed cameras in Malaga

Malaga is one of the best Spanish destinations, as it offers a perfect balance of beach, sun, shopping, culture, nightlife and gastronomy. The A-7 (the highway that runs parallel to the coast) and the A-45 (also a highway, this one connecting Malaga and Cordoba) concentrate most of the speeding cameras. You can be aware of their precise location hiring a GPS (DGT informs about their location in advance).

As the list of spots controlled by radar is updated monthly, radar than providing an information that will be outdated in a matter of weeks, I think it's more useful to provide the link where the information will always be up-to-date:

2. Map highlighting the roads under strict speeding control: http://www.dgt.es/Galerias/el-trafico/control-de-velocidad/Malaga.jpg 

* vocabulary tips: "radar fijo" means "fixed speed camera". "Radar tramo" means "road section average speed camera". "Radar móvil" means "mobile speed camera".

Speeding fines in Spain: car hire

The procedure when you get a speeding fine in Spain while driving a hire car is as follows,

1. DGT notifies the car owner.
2. The car hire companies checks their records and provides the hire contract data.
3. The car hire company informs the driver and charges the fee (from 10 to 50 eur, it MUST be clear in the contract).
4. DGT or CTDA notifies the driver.

You can pay as soon as the car hire company sends you the e-mail, and by doing so you will get the 50% reduction. If you pay BEFORE you receive the official notification make sure to call DGT's CTDA and confirm that your file is closed for payment.
