Taxis at Malaga Airport

As you collect your baggage and walk through the Malaga Arrivals Hall of Terminal 3 and go outside, you will see all the Taxis to the right of you. You can’t miss them!

The taxis have changed quite a bit over the years. When we first moved here, taxis could only take up to 4 passengers, and there were no meters. People were getting ripped off left, right and centre, so we’re pleased to tell you that it’s changed.

A few years ago, the Spanish taxis finally had meters installed, so the end price should be clear. Just make sure the meter is on! There are additional charges for picking up at the airport (15.50€), travelling on Weekends, Public Holidays and different times of the day.   There is also a sign at the taxi rank which sets out the fares to the most popular destinations.

The majority of the taxis still carry a maximum of 4 people, including children, but there are now some taxis with  5, 7 & 9 seats, and even some that are wheelchair accessible.

The only problem is that we cannot guarantee they will be available.   You could give the taxi company a call on the following numbers 0034 952 040 804 or 0034 952 333 333 if you would like any more information. You may well be able to prebook and ask for car seats too. In the event of any incident or lost items, we highly recommend taking a photo of the cab registration number.

Tips on taking taxis:

  • Take a photo of the License Number or Registration Number.  Many people leave items in the cabs, so at least with a photo, you have a chance of getting your property back.
  • If you need to call for a taxi from anywhere other than the airport, generally it´s a case of calling the number and telling them where you are.  They will say something like “cinco minutos” (5 minutes) and be there to pick you up.  They don’t ask for your destination. There is also an APP.

The taxi queues are pretty organised, but in the peak season, it can get quite busy and extremely hot. If you don’t want to get hot and bothered or have young kids with you, a private transfer might be a better option.

You can book this in advance, and a driver will meet you in the arrivals hall and whisk you straight off to your destination. The law in Spain states that registered taxis do not have to carry child seats. If you are anxious that your toddler sits in a proper seat or has the correct restraint, book a private transfer or arrange for a hire car to ensure that the appropriate seats are available.

From a personal point of view of driving and the drivers here, we highly recommend the correct use of child seats and seatbelts.

If you are more than four people or feel the return journey seems quite expensive, you may find that hiring a car is a better option. Depending on the time of year you come, you could be looking at some ridiculously low prices. It could be cheaper than a taxi to and from the airport.
