Transportation to Airport from Malaga City Center

Malaga Airport

Malaga attracts a great number of visitors every year thanks to its mild climate and spectacular historical places. This crowded city offers many alternatives for passengers in terms of the transportation.

Buses and trains are the two most important of these among the public transportation vehicles. Taxi and car rental alternatives come to the forefront, especially during late hours, as an alternative to buses and trains.

Walking and renting bicycles are preferred for travelling around the city, but these alternatives are inadequate for the transportation to the airport.

Bus

You can easily arrive at the airport by using the bus route 9, which runs every 30 minutes from the main bus stop next to the main railway station, just in west of the city center. If you are thinking of using the buses, you should remember that they only operate between 06:25 am – 11:30 pm.

The stop named Centro Alameda is generally the first departure stop of all bus routes. This bus stop also provides transportation to other European cities.

Many of the hundreds of small and large accommodation centers in Malaga offer airport shuttle service. As soon as you arrive at your hotel, you can obtain information from your hotel whether they provide this service or not. If such a service is available at your hotel and you decide to use it, you should make a reservation in advance.

You can rent your car at the airport after your plane has landed or from the car rental companies located in the city center.

Many hotels have an agreement with the car rental companies or at least they have contact information of these companies. You can ask for help from your hotel about this issue.
