Finding a taxi from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport is simple. The main rank is well-signposted and located outside the Arrivals area of Terminal T3.
It is recommended that you make sure the taxi driver has started the taximeter at the beginning of the journey (minimum fare), and that you request a receipt for any complaint or claim.
Most drivers will use the coastal highway unless you tell them otherwise. The tollway runs from Fuengirola to Sotogrande, and remains the quickest way of getting from Málaga-Costa del Sol Airport to most destinations. However, prices vary considerably from toll to toll – Fuengirola-Sitio de Calahonda (Mijas)-Marbella, Marbella-San Pedro de Alcántara-Estepona, and Estepona-Casares-Guadiaro – and they are increased significantly at different times of the year (for example, during the summer months and other public holiday periods).
