How much is a taxi from Málaga to Marbella?

From €75 per car for up to four people, about 58 km (36 miles) on the AP-7, which takes roughly 45 minutes. The same price covers Puerto Banús, so you can be dropped in the old town, on the Golden Mile or at your villa.

Good to know

In July and August the coast road through Fuengirola clogs up; the AP-7 avoids it.

For gated estates such as Sierra Blanca or La Zagaleta, give the gatehouse name when you book. Málaga to Marbella transfer · Málaga to Puerto Banús transfer

Choosing a car for couples, families or groups

The price covers the whole vehicle, so a family of four pays the same as a solo traveller. Five to eight passengers take a people carrier, and from nine upwards you need a minibus or coach.

Vehicle options
Passengers Vehicle Price
1 – 4 Saloon car As in the destination table
5 – 8 People carrier Fixed on the booking form
9 – 54 Minibus or coach Minibus and bus hire in Málaga

Golf bags, kite boards, bikes and pushchairs travel free when you list them. Photos and boot space in our fleet.

Arriving at Málaga Airport?

If your trip starts the moment you land, book it in the Málaga Airport section instead: the driver follows your flight, meets you inside arrivals and heads straight to the coast or your city, never through the centre.

Málaga private transfers: frequently asked questions

How much is a taxi from Málaga to Seville?

From €239 per car for up to four people, about 205 km (127 miles) on the A-45 and A-92 via Antequera and Osuna, roughly two hours. The driver drops you in the centre, in Triana or at your hotel door. Split four ways that is around sixty euros each, and you travel on your own timetable.

How long does it take to get from Málaga to Granada by car?

About an hour and a half for 128 km (80 miles) on the A-45 and A-92 through Loja. The transfer starts at €169 per saloon and ends at your hotel, near the Alhambra or at the closest drivable point in the Albaicín. In winter we also go on to the Sierra Nevada ski station.

How far is Torremolinos from Málaga?

Only about 15 km, roughly twenty minutes along the ring road and the A-7. A private transfer costs from €35 per car for up to four, so it is a convenient way to reach La Carihuela, the Bajondillo beach hotels or Playamar with all your luggage, without waiting for a rank taxi.

What is the distance from Málaga to Cádiz?

Around 240 km (149 miles), about two and a half hours via the AP-7 and A-7 to Algeciras and the A-381 past Medina Sidonia. The transfer starts at €275 per car and drops you in the old town, by La Caleta, on Victoria beach or at the port. Jerez is the same distance and price.

Can you take me to Gibraltar?

Yes. Gibraltar is about 130 km from Málaga, an hour and a half on the AP-7, and the transfer starts at €195. The car normally stops at La Línea next to the frontier and you walk across in minutes. Bring a valid passport or EU identity card, and ask us beforehand if you need the car to enter the Rock.

How much is a transfer from Málaga to Nerja?

From €89 per car in a saloon, about 55 km east along the A-7 and some forty-five minutes. We drop you at the Balcony of Europe, the Nerja Caves, Maro or your holiday flat. Rincón de la Victoria, Torre del Mar and Torrox are all on the way if you would like a stop.

Will you meet us at the Málaga cruise terminal?

Yes. Tell us the ship's name and disembarkation time and the driver waits outside the terminal with a name sign. From the port you can reach Granada, Ronda or the Costa del Sol and be back well before all-aboard; for several visits in one day, hourly hire is the better option.

Do you have child seats?

Yes, if you request them. Note each child's age or weight on the form and the saloon arrives with the right seat or booster fitted. Spanish law requires them below 1.35 m and they may carry a small charge. Pushchairs and folding cots travel in the boot free of charge.

When do I pay, and can I cancel?

Your card is charged when you confirm the booking through a secure online payment, and you pay the driver nothing on the day. Saloons and people carriers can be cancelled free with 48 hours' notice; minibuses and coaches with 96. To change the time or address, a WhatsApp message is enough.

Can you take us to Antequera or the Caminito del Rey?

Yes. Antequera is about 50 km on the A-45, forty minutes, from €109 per car, with the dolmens and El Torcal close by. The Caminito del Rey at El Chorro is an hour from Málaga: give us your entry slot when booking and the driver drops you at the northern access point.

OUR CUSTOMER OPINION

We booked a transfer from London Heathrow to Brighton for a few days by the sea. It was nice to get straight into the car after landing instead of dealing with trains and luggage. The journey was comfortable and everything went as planned.
(10/29/2026) William Brooks
Used Zonetransfers for a trip from Milan to Lake Como. The pickup was arranged in advance, which made planning the day easier. Comfortable journey and no issues along the way.
(10/21/2026) Daniel Foster
We travelled from Athens Airport to Piraeus Port to catch a ferry. Having the transfer arranged in advance took some of the stress out of the journey. We got to the port with time to spare.
(10/15/2026) Sophie Williams
Booked a private transfer from Rome Fiumicino Airport to our accommodation in the city. We had quite a bit of luggage and didn't fancy dealing with public transport. Everything went smoothly
(10/11/2026) Thomas Reed
We needed a transfer from Paris Charles de Gaulle Airport to our hotel near the Eiffel Tower. The driver was easy to find and we went straight to the hotel. Just what we needed after a long flight.
(10/02/2026) Emily Parker
We booked a transfer from Faro Airport to Lagos. There were four of us with suitcases, so having a car waiting for us made things much easier. Straightforward booking and a comfortable journey
(09/29/2026) Oliver Bennett
I had a 5:30 AM pickup for the airport in Alicante. The driver arrived 10 minutes early, sent a polite text to let me know he was waiting outside, and handled everything with absolute professionalism.
(09/23/2026) David Miller
We used Zonetransfers for airport transfers back and forth during a family trip to Madrid. On-time pickups, comfortable vehicles, and very friendly drivers. Will definitely use them again.
(09/15/2026) Evelyn Campbell
Booked a private transfer from Barcelona Airport to our city-center hotel. Our driver, David, was exceptionally polite, helped with our heavy luggage, and gave us a few great local tips on the way.
(09/11/2026) Rachel Henderson
What I appreciate most is knowing the exact cost upfront without unexpected luggage surcharges or meter surprises. Quick booking on the website and excellent customer support throughout.
