Malaga Airport Guide

Hi Joanne, I noticed your e-mail and letter regarding the free car park T3 at Malaga airport, can you tell me if it is still free and where it is located within the airport, and possibly what you think of the location with regard to security. Many thanks in anticipation, John.

P3 Parking is still free. As you drive towards the airport there are signs. its a few minutes past the airport. A Courtesy bus comes every 10 or 15 minutes to take you to the airport. We have left our car there and it has been fine.

We havent heard of any other complaints.

Regards Joanne

Hi Jo, I am thinking of flying into Malaga on Friday 07th December (arriving 10:40) and need to get to Puente Genil, where I can be picked up or get a taxi. The return journey will be on Sunday 09th December and my flight leaves at 12:30. Is there a train option for me that you can advise on please? Thanks,



Dear Mark

Here is a previous question on how to get from Malaga Airport to Casariche

If you want a taxi they are just outside the arrivals hall at Malaga...there is always one there.

Have a nice trip

Hi, can you help us please,
Can we email the lost property office at Malaga airport? We need to know if they have found an item belonging to my son so we can get someone in Malaga area to go and pick it up etc
We lost the item today as we were leaving the airport to fly back to the UK, any advice greatly appreciated.We have made a note of the lost property office but thought if we rang they may not be able to understand us over the phone.
Many thanks
Tara

Hi Tara,

There is no email. Unless you call, it would be better for someone just to go there. give them a try on the phone....sometimes they do speak english.

If you go its in Terminal 1 which is just a short walk through Terminal 2. Keep walking towards the left hand side.

Joanne

My wife, friends, and I are going to Malaga Lights middle December. There seems to be a possible problem with reference to a lot of shop and business not contributing towards the cost of the lights. As we are going by coach, we could find ourselves in Malaga with no lights. Have you herd anything at all, like it could be cancelled? Hope you did not mind me emailing you. Kind regards, Michael.

Hi Michael, I havent heard anything...we were there a couple of weeks ago and they were putting the lights up. We went there last year and they lights were fab. Christmas Lights in Malaga this is our day out last year. Regards Joanne

Hello Jo--
I'm looking to travel early morning from Malaga to Algeciras, hop on a ferry to Africa, and return the same day. I didn't know--would this be possible? Do you happen to know where I could find a bus schedule/fares? And same for the ferry?
Thank you, Jennie

Hi Jennie Here is the bus link and you can find buses either from Malaga Airport to Marbella and then you would need to change at marbella ....or you go into Malaga City and get a bus to Algeciras from there. http://www.ctsa-portillo.com/horarios.html Regarding the boats...im not too sure but if you find anything out please let me know as its a popular question. Regards Joanne

Labels: Malaga Travel

Jo, There is a lot of advice going the opposite way, but would you be able to advise on the best way to get to Malaga Airport from Gibraltar. It is on a weekend, poss Sunday, so I am thinking bus timetables and the like, are there any links you can offer? Many thanks. Regards, Tom PetersTom


Hi tom, http://www.ctsa-portillo.com/horarios.html here is the website for the buses. If you got to Horarios and then from La Linea...you can then see all the buses and times to either Malaga, Estepona or Marbella. You will then need to get another bus to the airport. Hope this helps Regards Joanne

Hi Jo, I was just wondering if you could help me please. I would like to know if there is a bus service Christmas Eve from Malaga Airport to Almeria. I would also like to know please if there is a service from the airport to Marbella on New Year´s Day. Thanks very much for your help,Jessica Griffin


I have just called the Renfe (trains in spain) and the buses and have been told that services will continue to run throughout christmas and New Year. It may be Sunday Service. www.renfe.es http://www.ctsa-portillo.com Here are the websites if you wanted to clarify for yourself and see if and when you can book tickets if need be. Regards Joannemalaga-airport-guide.com

Hi Jo, Hope you don’t mind me contacting you. I found your link through the site for Malaga airport under ‘building works’. My parents (elderly) are flying into Malaga next year in February (they have been many times to Spain but never into Malaga). My mother is not handicapped, but simply cannot walk for great distances. Would you be able to tell me if from an airplane (Easyjet) to the arrivals hall (where a driver will meet them) is a relatively short distance, or do I need to organise perhaps a wheelchair for her? I ask this question in view of the building works in progress, since I do not know the airport myself. Would be very grateful for your advice.

Best wishes

Judith Pegg


The walk from where the planes land to the arrivals hall is quite a long walk....I always have problems as my baby always decided to fall asleep just before landing and had to carry her the whole way. I would arrange something if you can, although generally when the airplane lands there are the white buggies to take people that need them through to the baggage department and through arrivals.

I hope this helps regards Joanne

Hi Joanne, Thanks very much for your advice - much appreciated. I will certainly make arrangements with the airline.thanks again.Judith

Hi Jo, My parents travelled to spain on Thursday. My fathers wallet was stolen as he was getting off the plane. I have been unable to find a website for lost property at the aiport in order to help with a claim. Also my parents have a house now just past puerto benus/marbella but cannot find any transport links to get them to their house, can you help/advise? Many thanks in anticipation of your response. Kind regards Elaine

Here is a previous post on Lost Property... With regards to transport links to PUerto Banus....the only way is the Airport Bus from Malaga to Marbella and then catch a taxi or another bus to Puerto Banus. Regards Joanne

Hi JoHave been trying to get some times for trains from Malaga to Seville round about 22/01/08 but there doesnt seem to be any listings, I am presuming that the services will be available in January but I am surprised that no times are being shown, any ideas ???ThanksFrank

Hi Frank I called them the other day....the listings just arnent out yet...same as in the Uk. But they will be running over the Christmas and New Year Period. Regards Joanne

I'm travelling with my 10 months old baby, and have heard that it is possible to rent baby strollers at some airports to use during the vacation. Is this service also available at Malaga airport?Best regardsD. Nielsen

Hi JoI am looking for a bit of advice. We visit Marbella regularly usually in January and stay with a friend in Elviria.This year we would like to spend two or three days in Seville but dont really fancy driving all the way.I think if we drove from Elviria to P4 at Malaga airport and took the train from the airport to Malaga Station then took a train to Seville this could prove the easiest and most cost effective way of doing it and we can all enjoy the views.What do you think???RegardsFrank

Definately The train website is www.renfe.es or you have the buses http://www.ctsa-portillo.com/ Good luck Any info you think could be useful for other travellers around Malaga would be great. Regards Joanne

Hi Jo. I have two elderly people arriving at Malaga soon. They are collecting a car when they arrive, they have to transfer from one terminal to another, and have been told that there are people around to help wearing "Green Jackets" ! Is this correct ? Tracey.

At Malaga Terminal 1 and 2 are connected its just a short walk from one to another. NOt too sure if its green or orange, but there are people noramlly around to help. If they need a buggy to take them...make sure they ask and they should get help. Regards Joanne

Hi.Just thought I would give you a quick update on our experience with SIXT car hire after having some correspondence with you on this subject last week in October. We booked through ARGUS car hire, which linked in with Car Trawler. We usually use Holiday Autos, and have never had problems like those with ARgus/Car Trawler and Sixt. The bus turned up to take us to the Sixt office which was not far from the airport, but it was a little inconvenient having to wait, as they gathered up other passengers as well, and had a list of incoming flights with people arriving at various times within about 30 minutes of each other. Our invoice had specified how much more we had to pay to Sixt, minus deposit for the car rental that had already been taken from our card. However, THE BIG CATCH WAS that we had to pay for a whole tank of fuel IN ADVANCE. We have never experienced this before, and the receptionist insisted it was in the "small print" and we should have read it on line. I had printed out all the on-line documents that should have been necessary, which did say "take full, return empty" - but it did not say we had to pay up-front for the fuel, neither did it say which car we would get, how big the fuel tank was, and what the going rate for fuel was. Over 5 days, we were highly unlikely to use up a full tank of fuel, but despite our arguing, we had to pay up. The only alternative was to lose the deposit and go elsewhere, which was also inconvenient, and booking any car hire in an office at the airport would have been more expensive than booking on-line. We haven't yet come to a conclusion as to whose fault it was, ARGUS, CAR TRAWLER or SIXT but when we do, they will be hearing from us! Customers be aware - the cheap deal isn't what it seems!!! We returned the car with less than a quarter of a tank used up - we don't go to Spain to drive around, but to stay put, and relax!!!


Thank you for this information, it will go up on the notice board soon. Unfortunately, some car hire places do ask for this and some dont. You can either take the car empty and return it empty which can be a little nerve racking when you really dont want to put any more petrol in...but you could be cutting it fine. And also when collecting your car, have to find the petrol station straight away. Or You pay for a full tank and return it with a full tank which means you have to find a petrol station nearby once again on the way to dropping the car off. Sorry to hear your fraustration.

Regards Joanne

Hi Jo, Hope you don't mind me asking (that's what you get for "volunteering") but I am going to UK on 19th December and returning 8th January. So far, "pay for car parking" is giving me a figure more than the return flights. On the webpage: https://malaga-airport-guide.com/blog/2006/11/free-parking-at-malaga-airport.html it indicates parking at P3 is still free. Does that still apply - and likely (?) to remain so for when I require parking. Thought you might have some updated information. My problem is our bus service to the bus station makes times tight. Supposed to leave village at 8am but often is 10 to 15 minutes later, so getting to the bus station in Malaga and then hoping the shuttle bus is also on time is too risky. Before I check with friends locally for a lift (I hate asking people such favours) thought would ask you if you know anything more. If you have no further information - please don't start rushing about - just say NO and I will sort locally but thought it worth trying. Regards. Brian



Hi Brian At the moment parking is still free. How long it will continue for who knows...but would think until there is adequate parking and works are nearer the end. Have you tried Parking Sur? was around 3.5 euros per day. Regards Joanne

Hi Jo,I am trying to help my mum with transfers from Malaga airport to Nerja but they all are very expensive for 2 people.Are the buses easy to understand? They fly in at 11am on the 30th October and there return flight is 11:45 am on the 6th November will there be a bus early enough for them to get back to the airport in time? Could you help with bus times and the cost of the bus fare? Or advise if they can book onto a coach that could take them to Nerja from the airport and return on the 6th to the airport?Thank you for your timeKind regardsAdele Sumner

Hi Adele

Here is a link to the Malaga Bus Website. From the Airport you need to get to Malaga itself. Then from there you can get a bus all the way to Nerja.

We are due to fly into Malaga from Scotland early evening 15 Feb 2008, then travelling to Algamitas by train the next morning. We plan to bus into Malaga on arrival, and stay overnight. We will catch a train the next morning. After a week's walking we plan a few days in Ronda.
Any advice on
1. where to stay that's handy for the airport bus on arrival and the train station for the next morning. Would the Eurostars Astoria any good?
2. where to stay in Ronda.

Cheers
Wilma

Hi Wilma,
if you are going to the main train station at The vialia Centre, then there is a Barcelo Hotel adjoining it. Regarding the hotel in Ronda, Im not sure of hotels there. However TripAdviser is a fantastic website with lots of personal reviews.

Good luck

Hi Jo

What a great website. We are only coming for 2 days from the 10th Nov until the12th Nov. Staying in Banus. I come all the time but always hire a car but was thinking to use the taxi service for this trip

How much is it right now to get from Malaga airport to Banus. Just working out the cost against hiring a small car as we normally do.

Take care


Its probably going to be around 75 €uros , so 150euros minimum. There is the airport bus which is 4.03 euros but then you still need to get a taxi from marbella bus station.


I think you can get some cheap cars at the moment. You can get a quote here.

Hi Jo,

We are travelling back to Wales for Christmas this year and are thinking to put our car into the free carpark in Malaga airport. Can you please tell me, do we book a space? What do you do if you turn up and its full?
Thanks for your help.

Sally.


Hi Sally,
P3 & P4 are free at the moment, you just turn up...there should be space.

if not then there is Parking Sur and many other car parking places around the airport that have mini buses to take you and pick you up from the airport. Around 3.50euros per day.
