Where is the taxi rank at Malaga Airport Arrivals?

After you collect your baggage and walk outside through the Arrivals exit, look to the right. You will see all the white taxis lined up right in front of you.

How many people can travel in a Malaga taxi?

The majority of the taxis carry a maximum of 4 people, including children. However, there are now some taxis with 5, 7 or 9 seats and some that are wheelchair accessible. The only problem is that these larger or special mobility taxis are not always available in the airport queue. You could give the taxi company a call on the following numbers (+34) 952 04 04 04 or (+34) 952 33 33 33. You may be able to prebook and ask for car seats, depending on the season. If no taxis are available to pre-book, consider a private transfer instead.

Are the taxi queues long?

The taxi queues are pretty organised, but peak season can get very busy and 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.

Child/Baby Safety in Malaga Taxis

The law in Spain states that registered taxis do not have to carry child seats. Toddlers, babies and small children can sit on the parent’s lap in the backseat with the adult seat belt around both. Older kids have to sit in the back seat with an adult seat belt. From a personal point of view of driving here and knowing what the drivers are like in Malaga, we highly recommend the correct use of child seats and seatbelts. 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.

Tips on taking Malaga taxis safely and easily:

• Take a photo of the taxi’s registration plate or license number. Many people accidentally leave items in the cab, 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 then be there to pick you up. They don’t ask for your destination. There is also an APP.
