Taxis from Malaga Airport to Nerja
Like anywhere else, a taxi is the easiest and most convenient way of travelling, but it is highly recommended that you book one before you travel so that you can take advantage of the competitive pricing. A metered taxi at the airport will set you back almost double.
We recommend booking a local Nerja taxi company to meet you at the airport as they will have a better idea of where you are staying once you are in Nerja.
After your flight lands and you’ve collected your luggage, your driver will meet you in the arrivals hall holding a board/paper with your name on it.
It’s very efficient and it’s very rare that you’ll encounter any problems. They will also know what flight you are on and will be able to keep tabs on any delays.
The cost can vary but but on average you are looking at around 50 euros for the journey.
