If your visit extends beyond the city, which is notoriously tricky for the uninitiated driver, then there really is no better way to discover the province of Granada than by car. If you really want to reach the remote beaches and high Alpujarran villages that the bus tours can’t, then hiring a car is your best option.
Málaga, Almería and Granada airports are all served by the major car hire providers.
