Taxi from the Arrivals Terminal
I have lots of experience taking the taxi from the arrivals terminal.
The taxi rank is on the right side as you exit the terminal building – you need to walk to the back, where you will see taxi cars lined up.
Make sure the driver puts on the taxi meter as soon as you leave the airport so they don’t make up random prices by the time you get off. It’s illegal to drive without the taxi meter on.
A language barrier could be an issue you will face if you get a taxi from the airport – most of the drivers I had experience with have very little knowledge of English. While that’s mostly not an issue, especially if you’re staying in a hotel or near some landmark, most will struggle if you try to navigate them to your destination yourself.
It’s a good idea to get your destination set up on google maps so you can at least show the driver, in case they can’t locate the destination themselves.

20€ from Malaga to Benalmadena is not at all correct!
When I started a booking it costs from 74€ and more!
Hi Lasse, the price is an estimate and depends on the number of people travelling, time of travel, time of year and many other factors. It’s not a set fee for all unfortunately! I’ve taken the taxi many times so I have put the price I am familiar with. 74 euros is still quite a lot, you’re probably paying a premium due to high season and more people travelling, or pick up in off peak times.
