More info about the airport

Málaga–Costa del Sol Airport sits just 8 kilometers (5 miles) from the heart of Málaga, making it a quick and easy hop into the city. It’s the main air gateway to Spain’s sunny Costa del Sol and a key connection point for the broader Andalusian region. The airport has three terminals, with Terminal 3 stealing the spotlight.  Inside, it’s more than just functional. You’ll find over 20 shops, from high-street brands to local gifts, plus plenty of cafés and restaurants for every kind of appetite.

More than 18 million passengers pass through its doors each year, and by car, the city center is just a 15-minute drive away. With flights connecting to over 60 countries, Málaga Airport is more than a travel hub—it’s a major player in Andalusia’s tourism and business scenes. You can find more information on the airport’s official website: Málaga Airport

Location of car rental desks

Renting a car at Málaga is a breeze, with a refreshingly straightforward setup. If you’re landing and heading straight for the road, you’ll find most rental desks right inside the terminal—no need to wander far. In Terminal 2, they’re tucked away on Floor -1, while Terminal 3 hosts them on the ground level. Signs are clear, and the layout’s easy to navigate, even after a long flight. Some companies operate off-site but make up for it with a fast, free shuttle. A few even offer meet-and-greet services—someone’s there waiting with your name, ready to walk you to your car. Quick, simple, and you’re on your way.

Tips for car rental

Book early to lock in the best deal. The moment you’ve booked your flight to Spain, go ahead and reserve your car. Booking early means better rates, more vehicle options, and less stress—especially during busy holiday seasons when cars disappear fast.

Watch out for hidden fees. That low price flashing on your screen might come with a catch. Keep an eye out for added costs like airport surcharges, extra driver fees, or young driver penalties. Read the fine print so you’re not caught off guard.

Check the mileage policy. Planning to explore beyond Málaga? Double-check whether your rental includes unlimited mileage. Some don’t, and going over the limit can cost you a lot more than you bargained for.

Inspect before you drive. Don’t rush off just yet. Take a few minutes to inspect the car thoroughly and photograph any scratches or dents. It’s the smartest way to protect yourself from being blamed for something you didn’t cause.

Understand the cancellation terms. Travel plans change—we’ve all been there. Look for rentals with flexible cancellation policies. Free cancellation gives you peace of mind, just in case your itinerary shifts last minute.

What to explore in Málaga

lcazaba and Gibralfaro Castle. Sitting high above Málaga, these ancient fortresses offer more than just sweeping views of the city and sea. They’re a living piece of Spain’s Moorish history, with stone walls and quiet courtyards that still whisper the past.

Picasso Museum. Step into the world of Pablo Picasso in the city where he was born. Housed in a 16th-century palace, the museum’s intimate collection traces his bold evolution, giving visitors a rare, personal look at a true creative icon.

Málaga Cathedral. Nicknamed “La Manquita” thanks to its unfinished tower, this grand cathedral blends Renaissance grace with baroque flair. Inside, it’s all light and quiet beauty—a calm, contemplative pause in the middle of the city.

La Malagueta Beach. Just minutes from the city buzz, La Malagueta offers that golden-sand, sun-on-your-face kind of escape. It’s perfect for a swim, a stroll, or some fresh-grilled sardines by the sea, Spanish-style.

Old Town Málaga. This is where the city breathes deepest. Winding alleys, sunny plazas, and that irresistible aroma of fresh coffee and churros—Málaga’s historic center is a place to wander, linger, and fall a little in love.

Popular destinations from Málaga Airport

Nerja and the Cueva de Nerja. Just 50 minutes from Málaga, Nerja greets you with golden beaches and a laid-back charm. But the real showstopper? Its vast cave system is a spellbinding underground world of towering stalactites and cathedral-like chambers.

Frigiliana’s whitewashed beauty. A 55-minute drive is all it takes to reach Frigiliana, a picture-perfect village tucked into the hills. With its cobbled lanes, whitewashed walls, and bursts of color from flowerpots, it feels like stepping into a sunlit postcard of southern Spain.

Caminito del Rey’s thrilling walk. One hour from Málaga, Caminito del Rey dares the brave. Hugging steep canyon walls, this suspended walkway delivers jaw-dropping views and pure adrenaline—safely restored but still packing that wild, edge-of-the-cliff energy.

Ronda’s dramatic landscapes. Set out for a 1 hour and 30-minute drive and find Ronda, a city split by a gorge so deep it stuns. The Puente Nuevo bridge spans the divide, linking history with raw, untamed beauty.

Granada and the Alhambra. In just 1 hour and 40 minutes, you’ll arrive in Granada, where the Alhambra rises like a dream. This palace-fortress complex blends art, history, and soul—its intricate carvings and peaceful gardens leaving visitors awestruck.
