Taxi Torre del Mar

Taxi Torre del Mar holds the best public record of any taxi service in town: 4.4 from 252 reviews, by far the largest base of opinions in the local trade. It is based on Avenida de Andalucía, the street where the ranks are.

What people use it for

Short runs inside town, and above all transfers to and from Málaga airport, which in a place with this many foreign visitors is the journey that matters. It also covers trips across the Axarquía: Nerja, Vélez-Málaga, the villages inland.

Booking one

Call ahead. Airport runs in particular are worth agreeing the day before, because the ranks in town are worked by individual licence holders and there is no app that guarantees a car at six in the morning. Ask for the fare when you book: airport journeys are usually quoted as a fixed price rather than metered.

The other option

The town also has a radio taxi line for immediate pick-ups, listed on the taxi page. Between the two you are covered at any hour, but neither is a substitute for booking a transfer if your flight lands at night.
