Seasons

In August Nerja is packed and the centre has restricted traffic; the Caves Festival concerts take place in July.

Driver's tip

Central Nerja is mostly pedestrian, so the driver stops at the closest accessible point to your hotel.

For a day with stops, chauffeur hire in Granada is more practical.

Questions and answers

How much is a taxi from Granada to Nerja?

From €162 per car in a standard vehicle, for up to four travellers and their luggage. It is a fixed price for the whole vehicle and does not go up with summer coastal traffic. If there are six or eight of you, the minivan lets you travel together; its price appears on the form when you choose the number of passengers.

How long does it take to drive from Granada to Nerja?

About 1 h 20 min for 120 km, down the A-44 to Motril and then west on the A-7 past Almuñécar. It is one of Andalusia's most scenic roads, through tunnels high above the sea. Your driver drops you at the Balcón de Europa, Burriana beach or your villa. Bags are carried to the door.

Can we stop in Frigiliana on the way to Nerja?

Yes. Frigiliana is a whitewashed hill village about ten minutes above Nerja and one of the most photographed in Spain. Add the stop when booking and the driver waits while you take a short stroll. For a longer visit, an hourly chauffeur gives you more freedom. Its Moorish lanes are best seen in the morning, before the day-trippers arrive.

What happens if there is snow or fog on the road?

Drivers keep an eye on road conditions and, if there is snow in Sierra Nevada or fog over a mountain pass, they suggest leaving earlier or later to travel safely. Cars carry the compulsory winter equipment. If a road closure forces a change of date, we amend your booking free of charge.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
