ALERT:[ Claim Your Low Cost Minibus Transfer from Malaga Airport](http://www.malagaairporttransfers.com/auto)

If you are travelling in a large group of 5 or more then you really need to eliminate the hassle out of your holiday by pre-booking a private minibus transfer and save yourself a boat load of cash in the process.

The benefits of booking a private hire company as opposed to the other methods of transportation to your hotel or apartment speak for themselves and we take you through the main features to help you make the right choice.

Please note: Its important to tell the company at the time of booking if you are travelling with children or disabled passengers so they can make sure your requirements are met.

Most popular 3 Questions:

- Who has the best price?

- Fast response to emails queries?

- Deliver professional service? Other popular questions weighing on holidaymakers minds were:

- Is there an extra charge for golf clubs?

- Extra charge on excess travel baggage?

- Are your drivers licensed, legal and insured?

- Any hidden charges?

- Do your drivers speak English?

- If my flight is delayed will my minibus still be there on time? We analysed the answers to the above questions and give them a ranking factor in our overall table.

Google.co.uk search results change on a daily basis but they are correct as of April 2017 using Google .co.uk search engine. Your results will vary depending on location, search term used and which internet search engine used.

To perform a fair price comparison we have used a return transfer from Malaga Airport to Puerto Banus as the standard journey as this is the most popular minibus transfer from AGP (Malaga Airport).

The return transfer would be for passengers within the range 1-4, 5-8, 9-12 and 13-16 people including suitcases (we have also included the price for using the airport taxis just in case you forgot to book your minibus transfer in all the excitement, shame on you!).

The results are in the table and as you can see there is quite a difference in price between the cheapest and most expensive quotes.

So we have compiled a further 4 tables broken down into 4 different passenger groups:

- Your driver may not speak English

- If you have an issue with the transfer or with the driver in any form, please note there is NO direct communications between driver and parent company as your transfer job is distributed among several outsourcing companies operating from Malaga Airport.

- Complaints or communications have to be made through premium Spanish numbers to office headquarters which are not regional. ### Summary We compared the top 7 minibus companies on the Costa del Sol for price based on the gold standard airport transfer of Malaga Airport to Puerto Banus. We also factored in other essential services including free baby seats, no excess charges or cancellation fees, facilities to transport people with disabilities and a number of other requested features all listed in the table.

[MalagaAirportTransfers.com](http://www.MalagaAirportTransfers.com) comes out 34.5% or €138 cheaper than the most expensive minibus tariff and wait for it …………over 62.9% cheaper than standard taxi transfers which is a €424 saving !!!

There doesn’t appear to be any reasonable explanation for why their competitors charge so much more.

Also when you consider a taxi (for 4 people maximum) from the airport to Banus costs €170 return, you really are getting a great price at €256 for 16 passengers!

The table below provides a breakdown of what you are getting when booking a private minibus transfer with the top companies operating out of Malaga Airport.

- Benahavis

- Gibraltar

- Benalmádena

- Granada

- Ronda

- Córdoba

- Mijas

- Seville

- Calahonda

- Marbella

- Sierra Nevada

- Estepona

- Nerja

- Sotogrande Remember the key points to choosing the right transfer company from Malaga Airport is one that offers some of the following benefits:

- Ability to “Pay in cash” as no credit card is necessary

- Free booking amendments

- Talk to us in English

- Cost savings on all group airport transfers

- Luggage trailers to maximise space for all transfers. ## Taxi Located outside the arrivals hall, easy to spot as they are all white with an orange ‘taxi’ sign lit up if they are available. Taxis in Spain are metered but you should definitely get a quote from the driver for your exact destination before agreeing the ride.

Taxis are licensed to carry a maximum of 4 passengers including children so if there are more of you, you will need to take more than 1 taxi and they are not cheap; a taxi from the airport in to Malaga centre (18km) will cost up to 32 Euros. Benalmadena (20km) around 35 Euros and Marbella (55km) around 75 Euros.

Downside – Taxis in Spain do not have to carry child car seats by law, you will be very lucky to pick up a taxi from the airport which has one. Taxis DO NOT carry baby seats as this means they are restricting the number of adult passengers that they can carry throughout the day.

Roads and drivers in Spain are renowned for being dangerous, please bear this in mind and book a private hire with the appropriate car seat for your child’s age if you are concerned. Also during busy periods you may have to wait in a queue for up to 30 minutes for an available taxi.

Downside- You still have to get to your hotel or accommodation from the nearest train stop which can be a taxi ride or a walk and with luggage and children in the heat or late at night, not ideal.

March 2017 Update – There is a blueprint released for an extension to the train route to run along the coast extending the current last stop of Fuengirola through to Marbella and beyond. This “plan” has been in the pipeline for several years and in true Spanish style this “manana” attitude has lead to extensive delays mainly down to budget.

There is an airport bus which goes direct to Marbella bus station and costs around 8 Euros, there are also buses going to Malaga city, Benalmadena, Fuengirola and Torremolinos and times and frequency vary depending on whether it is winter or summer.

Downside – Buses stop in the centre of towns for the most part, if you staying on the coast or anywhere other than town, again you will still need a taxi ride to your hotel. They are also quite slow and get very crowded in summer months.
