Our
Runabout Fleet
Just Looking for Something to Get From A-B?
Our Runabout fleet offers the most economical solution for straightforward transport. These are our older cars, not for everyone, but perfect if you simply need a reliable vehicle to get from A to B. They are mechanically sound and reliable, providing a cost-effective option for basic transportation needs. However, as these are our well-loved ex-rental cars, we don't guarantee the functionality of non-essential features like the radio or air conditioning.
Runabouts are ideal for local commuting, with a recommended 150-kilometer radius of Estepona 29680. If you have a breakdown outside of this area, you may not be covered by the breakdown assistance policy. This fleet is available in small, medium, and large sizes, and all feature manual transmission.
- Prices start from €324 per month. Remember, our prices are PER MONTH, not per week like other companies.
- Security / Damages Deposit: €350 (refundable).
- Minimum rental age: 21 years old and must have held a full driving license for a minimum of two years.

To ensure your peace of mind, every Purple Cars rental includes:
- Insurance: We offer two flexible comprehensive insurance options: one with a standard excess / damages deposit, and one with zero excess for complete peace of mind.
- Courtesy Car: In the unlikely event of a breakdown, a courtesy car will be provided to keep you on the move.
- Full 24-Hour Roadside Assistance: Enjoy an upgraded breakdown and recovery policy provided by our partners, RACE, available 24/7 across Spain.
Damage Deposit & Insurance Fees:
You have two options for covering potential vehicle damage:
Option 1: Standard Security Deposit
We will physically charge a refundable deposit to your card at pickup (no cash accepted):
- Runabout: €350
- Budget: €500 (manual) / €650 (automatic)
- Premium: €750
Option 2: Zero Excess Coverage (Recommended)
Add Zero Excess for €3 per day.
- Full coverage for accidental damage/theft (terms apply).
- No deposit required – nothing charged at pickup.
We recommend Option 2 for worry-free driving!
- Fuel Policy: Our fuel policy is simple: simply return the car with the same amount of fuel as when you took it. We do not offer refunds for unused fuel. Please make sure to check which fuel is the correct one for the vehicle; this will be highlighted on the paperwork we provide you with.
Speeding / Parking Fees:
If Purple Cars receives a speeding or parking fine related to your rental, you will be charged the
full amount of the fine plus a €34 administration fee. The fine will then be reissued in your name. Please be aware that your card held on file will be automatically charged without prior notice for any traffic infractions to prevent the fine from doubling. Our office is unable to provide exact details of the fines; any dispute must be taken up directly with the issuing authority, not Purple Cars.
