Regular Taxi Service at Malaga Airport
If you prefer, you can also hire a regular taxi at Malaga Airport’s taxi stand. In the queue of customers waiting to take a taxi, you’ll need to wait your turn to get an available regular taxi. The price will be influenced by several factors:
- The day and time of travel (as there are rates for weekdays or holidays, day or night)
- The final mileage to destination
- The time invested in the journey
The final cost will depend on the taximeter and is usually around 75€ at its most economical rate. Since each regular taxi is operated by its own owner, general standards cannot be established regarding driver attire and cleanliness criteria, but generally Malaga taxis meet the minimum requirements of any visitor.
Uber/Bolt Services at Malaga Airport
You can also book your Uber or Bolt service at Malaga Airport. Both Uber and Bolt operate on the Costa del Sol and you can make a reservation or request your Uber or Bolt service to Marbella through these famous apps. Although these companies don’t have a fixed cost and their rate is determined by the well-known “dynamic pricing”, which increases based on customer demand and vehicle availability, you will know the final cost of the trip before getting into your car.
To book, you just need to enter your details in the app, prepay for your reservation or select the cash or card payment option, go to the Uber parking lot and wait for your assigned driver to appear in their vehicle. Neither Uber nor Bolt have their own fleet of cars, so again, no generalization can be made regarding service quality standards and vehicle cleanliness. Each owner or employee is different from one another so a generalized opinion cannot be established for each of them.
The earnings received by owners working with Uber and Bolt are very low since these platforms take commissions that sometimes exceed 50% of the total service cost. This harms these owners and workers since their profit margin is generally scarce and this makes it difficult for them to reinvest in proper vehicle maintenance.
Public Transport from Malaga Airport to Marbella
The only public transport option to Marbella is by bus, as unfortunately there is neither long-distance train nor commuter train service to Marbella. Due to the challenging orographic conditions of the Costa del Sol, the commuter train only extends as far as Fuengirola, leaving the rest of the coast without rail service. However, there are future plans to address this deficiency. Meanwhile, both public and private companies operate bus transfer services from Malaga Airport to Marbella. Starting from 6€ per passenger, you can find buses that will take you to Marbella’s bus station, from where you can take a taxi to your accommodation.
Air Taxis from Malaga Airport to Marbella
It might sound like science fiction, but before self-driving taxis arrive on the Costa del Sol, air taxis seem poised to become a reality soon. In 2024, the first news appeared about manned air taxis from Malaga Airport (read about the planned air taxi service) specifying that test flights would begin in 2025. As of April 2025, there is no evidence that these flights have yet occurred. However, given Marbella’s visitor profile and the road traffic complications during high season, we are fully convinced that private air taxi service from the Airport to Marbella will be a success in the near future.
