Malaga Airport Public Transport Information

Transport Options from Malaga Airport

There are several transport options to choose from to get from Malaga Airport to your holiday destination:

Transport by Taxi/Transfers

You can choose between the standard radio taxi, which are the white and blue painted cars at the taxi ranks, or private taxi transport companies like us. One of the benefits of the latter is that you can pre-book online so you don't have to wait at empty taxi ranks at the airport. All our drivers are bi-lingual in English and Spanish which saves you struggling with difficult conversations. The driver will pick you up in the arrivals hall and even help you with your luggage! Prices are cheaper, or the same, as the standard transfer transport companies.

private taxi transport

Be aware that there are quite a few taxis operating without the necessary licences and ask excessive rates for your transfer.

To help you out a little at the airport we have created a travel dictionary with useful English/Spanish terms. You will find more information about Malaga Airport here.
