Advantages of transfer from Costa del Sol Airport Malaga:
No need to look for a stop, and with heavy luggage even 10 meters will seem like a marathon to you. The transfer driver will be waiting for you upon arrival as close to the arrivals area as possible. But you will still have to walk to the public transport stop. For example, the way to the railway station takes a good half-hour.
You’ll leave at night without any problems. Of course, you can leave by taxi. But you will first need to find it. And if you have children with you who need child seats? Or non-standard luggage, such as a wheelchair? Finding a car meeting such requirements is quite difficult.
No need to resolve any issues upon arrival. You place a booking and pay at home, in a relaxed atmosphere. To count on an online app in an unfamiliar place is quite risky. The connection can let you down.
Distance from the airport to the capital of Costa del Sol coast, Malaga, is 8 kilometers. The transfer will take you to your destination in half an hour. The cost of travel is 24 euros.
Taxi from Malaga Airport
At Malaga Airport, a taxi rank is located at the terminal T3. The cost is calculated according to the taximeter. The cost of departure from the airport is 5.50 euros. The approximate cost of a trip to Malaga is 20 euros. On holidays and at night, the tariff is higher.
Keep in mind that Spanish drivers rarely speak English. If you do not speak the local language, it is better to book a transfer. You place a booking on an English-language website, Kiwitaxi drivers speak English, too, and they know all the information about the trip in advance from the voucher.
And in the high season, the lines for taxi are just huge. You will have to wait for a free car standing under the hot Spanish sun. After a long flight, it will seem a nightmare to you.
In Malaga, you can use Uber and Cabify online apps. Local taxi drivers, however, see them as serious rivals. The drivers even happened to attack the cars of these services.
Public Transport from Costa del Sol Airport Malaga
You can leave Malaga Airport not only by transfer but also by public transport:
for Malaga — by express line A bus and Renfe suburban train;
for nearby resorts — by bus or train. For example, M128 bus goes to Torremolinos and Benalmadena, M135 to Santa Amalia, Avanzabús buses to Marbella and Estepona, Alsa buses — to Seville and Granada.
Bus stops are conveniently located right at the exit from the arrivals hall. Each has a schedule and a route. So you can quickly find out where you need to wait for your bus.
But the railway station will have to be searched for. The platform is located in a separate building opposite the arrival terminal. You need to go past all the luggage bands to the very end of the hall, go outside and cross the road.
