Malaga Airport taxi prices
Malaga Airport taxi prices aren’t fixed, unless you’re headed to a nearby destination and you agree on a fixed fare with the driver. The standard way to calculate the fare is with a taximeter and factors like distance to the destination, time of the day, and traffic conditions can affect the total fare. Two different tariffs apply; tariff 1 runs from 06:00 to 21:00 with a base fare of €1.55 and a rate of €0.86 per kilometre and tariff 2 runs from 21:00 to 06:00 with a base fare of €1.89 and a rate of €1.06 per kilometre. Also, there is a surcharge of €5.50 for rides from or to Malaga Airport.
Another factor that affects the price is the type of vehicle; sedan taxis can accommodate up to 4 passengers with one piece of luggage each so if you’re carrying more or are in a larger group, you will need a minivan, which will cost more.
For a ride to Malaga city centre with a sedan that accommodates up to 4 passengers, you can expect to pay around €18 during the day and €22 during the night. For long-distance routes, the fare is usually agreed upon with the driver before you start the ride but the taximeter should still be used during the ride to ensure you’re not being overcharged. The fare from Malaga Airport to Marbella is around €48 during the day and €55 during the night and to Algeciras €115 during the day and 130 during the night.
For a fixed, competitive fare every time that you pay securely online in advance, you can pre-book your Malaga Airport taxi with Welcome Pickups and secure reliable door-to-door service.

Where to get a Malaga Airport taxi?
You will find the Malaga Airport taxi rank right in front of the terminal after you exit the Arrivals Hall. Official taxis are lined up around the clock all year long, offering on-demand services; look for the long line of white cars by the sidewalk. Keep in mind that during peak hours, there may be a long queue of travellers waiting for a taxi. You can order a taxi by calling most official operators if you prefer waiting inside the terminal rather than standing outside, but again waiting times can be long.
To secure a ride as soon as you land and have a driver already waiting for you inside the Arrivals Hall, we recommend booking your Malaga Airport taxi with Welcome Pickups in advance. That way, you can enjoy peace of mind knowing everything is taken care of and ensure a smooth arrival directly to your accommodation.
Useful tips for getting a taxi from Malaga Airport
- You may be approached by individuals offering rides. Politely decline these offers and either take an official taxi from the airport rank or pre-book online.
- Official taxis in Malaga are white with the typical taxi sign on the roof and a blue stripe across the front doors.
- Most taxi drivers in Spain don’t speak English fluently so having your hotel’s address written down is always a good idea.
- For short rides to Malaga city centre, there is no fixed fare so the driver should turn on the taximeter to calculate the fare.
- Check that the taximeter is set to the base fare of €1.55 during the day or €1.89 during the night before you start the ride.
- For long-distance routes, the fare can be agreed upon with the driver upfront, so make sure to negotiate and confirm the total cost.

- Tipping your driver isn’t expected or required in Spain but you can always round up the total fare if you received great service.
- Accessible taxis aren’t usually available for on-demand services at Malaga Airport; it’s recommended to pre-book your ride with a specialised operator to ensure a smooth arrival.
