Malaga Airport Guide

Hello Jo, my nane is John and I live in Moroñ de la frontera in Sevilla. I Will be flying to Manchester on the 19th of May and i need to take my car to the airport. Is it true that you can park in P3 and P4 at Malaga airport for free??? I will be away for 10 days and parking for that length of time for free sounds to good to be true. Any information would be appreciated.

Hi John Yes it free We just got back today and had left the car for 8 days in P3. P3 is better. Then you jsut walk to the bus stop...bus comes every 10 to 15 minutes to the airport. Regards Joanne

Hola Jo, thanks for taking the time to send me a reply. Many thanks for the information.Regardsjohn Gibson

Hi Jo

We want to take the train from Malaga and leave our car there for three or four days. Is there station parking at Malaga? I can't find a website to tell me! Any info would be useful.
Thanks.
Anne

The train station is right near the airport where there is lots of parking everywhere.

Here is a link to Malaga Airport Parking

Alternatively P3 & P4 were still free to park whilst work is being done.

Regards

Joanne

Sorry, not too sure which Malaga Train Statin you Meant, assumed the Airport.

There is Parking at one of the Main Stations, its quite a lot of money per day. So you could leave it at the airport which is cheaper and get the train into the Station you need.

Hi Jo,

Having heard about P3, I read your info before leaving for the UK 9th Jan upon arrival Signs stating P3 was full , I drove around the airport and returned to the roundabout and followed P4 signs. Parked the car and walk to the train station bridge and crossed the roads to the existing Airport parking facilities.

Arrived back 13th Jan at night, walked to my car and drove away.

No tickets, no charge, no problem. However I must point out, it did not look at all secure, it’s a big car park, physically the other side of the rail track,( having drove under the track) most importantly I saw no indication of buses at all and it is a good walk to the terminal, with no bags its ok, with bags seriously forget it or drop family/bags off first and allow 15mins to walk back. Hope this is of use

Regards Sean Galligan

Thank you sean very much for the information, I shall post it up very soon

Regards Joanne

Here is an odd one for you!
I have an apartment in Portugal and have been thinking of buying a car.
As you may know, Portuguese cars are very pricey and I have been looking at two options. First is to buy a car in Spain and have this parked at Faro airport for six summer months (where most of ours and our co-owners holiday usage is) and then the car would be parked at Malaga (probably in Parking Sur as Faro do not yet have a realistically priced set up)
The Portuguese authorities do not like you having a non portuguese car in their country for more than 6 months hence the move to Spain.
The other alternative is to buy an english car to do the same with (we have found a Gib based insurer who will sort insurance).
An unusual request I know but you may know someone who could share the cost of the winter 6 months (and clearly use the car in this time) rather than it languishing in the car park.
Regards
Richard


Hi Richard, it is a little strange, and Im sorry, I just dont know anyone. You could have a look at www.surinenglish.com and maybe even place a small ad. Alternatively you could see if anyone on www.yourmarbella.com knows anyone that would be interested. Its a local website and there are a number of people here for 6 months and then back in uk. Good luck Regards Joanne

Thanks Jo
I was in Malaga on tuesday and...wow, what a mess the airport is! I am sure that it will be for the good though

Hi Jo, I am going to the UK on Tuesday 18th December and returning on the 1st January 2008is P3 and P4 still free parking. Is there a number I should call or can you assure me it will be OK to just turn up on Tuesday Eileen

As far as we are aware P3 is still free. You cannot book so you do need to just turn up. Worse case scenario you also have Parking sur which is about 3.50 per day. You could give the airport a call just to check in advance though. Unfortuantley there are no guarantees. Regards joanne

Labels: Car Parking

Hello Joanne, I have read on your informative site that there was free parking at the airport (P3 with free bus). Has the world gone insane crazy???? I would be really grateful if you could tell me if this is still available for long stay (ten days).My car is old and I am poor. If not, could you recommend a decent parking firm. Many thanks,Chris.


Hi Christopher.P3 and P4 are still free. If they are full then there is parking sur which charge around 3.50 per day. We dont know when its going to end but probably when they finish the work RegardsJoanne

Hi Joe this web page is brill congratulations on it My question is how do we get to parking no 3 the free one ,you say it is past the airport but have you got better directions please.We are useless at seeing signs or should i say my hubby is.Thanks in advanceLynn

Hi Lynn P3 is passed the airport there are signs so you just need to follow the signs for p3. So just conitnue to drive passed the aiport direction. Im pleased you found the website so useful. Regards Jo

Hi Joanne,
Sorry its me again! I have read all the last emails to you and Im wondering about the shuttle bus, is this to and from the airport every 15 minutes (ish) from carpark 3 + 4? What time does the service start running? Im a bit worried as we have an early flight. Will there be taxis around or could I get my husband to drop the kids and I at the terminal building and send him off to park. Im not sure how far away from departures these carparks are (walking distance?). I am familiar with the airport but only use the main carparks! I cant find a carpark map online. Also, if the free carparks are full, do you think it will be possible just to drive in to parking sur. Or is it something you need to book?
Thankyou so much for your help, would like to put my concerns aside..dont want to be stuck in Malaga at 8am with cases, family and nowhere to park!
Cheers.
Sally

Hi,Its a few minutes drive by bus. The shuttle bus does go every 10 to 15 minutes. You could get him to drop you off with cases etc, they cold be best. Its pretty well sign posted P3 & P4. Im not too sure if you can walk it it depends on the works going on there. Parking sur are normally ok, we have just turned up there in the past. Im sure you will be fine. At least if husband drops you and kids of he can run!!! Jo

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

Labels: Car Parking

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 found your adress on the malaga airport site and i wonder if u can help me! I worked in tarifa this summer living in my caravan. I will be in switzerland during winter and would like to leave my caravan in malaga because i will be back next spring. I heard from several people that there is a open carpark near to malaga airport which has security.I am afraid nobody could tell me the name of the parking, so i am wondering if u know? I heard that it is only 300 euro a year..
All the bestMark

Hi Mark,You could try Parking Sur we have parked there before and normally really good. If you call them, it would be great if you mentioned that Malaga Airport Guide referred you. Regards Joanne

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.

Regards

Joanne

Vialia Shopping Centre is a brand new Shopping Centre in Malaga. Its actually in the Estación María Zambrano (Maria Zambrano Train Station). Its just 2 minutes walk from the Larios Centre, Malaga.

The Station looks amazing and when you get there you really feel ñyou want to jump on a train to Barcelona or Madrid.

The Shopping Centre has all the usual shops like Zara, Zara Home, Imaginarium, Massimo Dutti, Sfera and lots more.

Upstairs there is Cinema, Restaurants and Entertainment Centre.

Vialia Centre is open 10am to 10pm. It was opening Sundays and may still be open but best to call first. Its actually illegal for them to open but there are loopholes as its a Station so they say that they can be open.

There is lots of parking and if you spend over 15euros then parking is free.

Telephone Number for Vialia Shopping Centre is 0034 952 04 09 15

To get to Vialia Shopping Centre you can get on the train from Malaga Airport or any of the stops along the C1 (Cercanias Renfe) or the C2 Alora and get off at Malaga Renfe.

Hi Jo
We have a holiday villa in nueva andalucia and keep a car parked near Malaga airport. Do you know of any local parking arrangements where we could have our car looked after during visits with delivery/collection service?

Thank you.
Mel

Hi Margaret,

I will put your question up on the website, someone else may know.

Any ideas how long parking in P3 at Malaga airport will remain free? I'll be looking at about 4 weeks parking from June 20th onwards.

Hope to hear from you soon Sioned

My Reply...

Hi Tony,
I have just called Malaga Airport and they cannot tell me how long it will be free for. Its free at the moment and that is all I can tell you. There is still alot of work going on so I would expect it to carry on being free, but I wouldnt like to guarantee.

my daughter and i are coming to marbella week following easter.

will probably arrive easter sunday. we're going to stay in the area for a week....may venture to seville, granada, ronda for day trips. do you recommend renting a car for the week or getting around by bus or taxi. i've read on websites that parking is sometimes a problem. if you recommend a car rental, should i arrange for that before the trip or just go to one of the car rental booths in malaga airport when i arrive? when we fly home, we will leave malaga early in the morning. will rental places be open to receive a car at 6am?love your website.also ideas for best things to do in the area week following easter?

thanks.

Hi,
Sound like you are going to be busy.

I personally would hire a car. The trains from Malaga only go as far as Fuengirola. So you only have buses & coaches, which are good, but it will take time to get anywhere.

I think it is better to book a car before you go...asap is normally cheaper. Check out here for a quote

Also try www.carrentals.co.uk Some are open early, they only allow you to put certain times in so shop around.

If you go to Seville, it may be best to park up and leave car in one of the numerous car parks and walk around and catch taxis.

Grananda, you should have a look at Alahambra, old gardens & city.

Ronda is around a 45 minute journey up a mountain from Marbella, also very nice to see.

Istan is only 25 minutes from Puerto Banus and also nice to see a old Spanish Village.

Laguna Village is one of the new places to go for a drink / food. There may also be some easter processions for Semana Santa

If you like Sherry, go to Jerez, the home of Sherry. A lovely little city on the way to Seville.

With a car you wont be bored, theres so much to see.


Have a good time

At the moment, you can park for free at Malaga Airport. Follow the signs to P3. Park in the car park and then there will be a free bus that will come and take you to the airport.

The bus runs frequently so will also pick you up out side the arrivals hall and take you back to P3 or wherever you have parked.

There is still alot of works going on at the airport so make sure you allow enough time.
