Malaga Airport to Marbella
There is no train to Marbella. Three ways cover almost everyone: a direct bus for the lowest price, a metered taxi for no planning, or a pre-booked transfer for a fixed price and someone holding a sign at arrivals.
Checked 13 August 2026, against each operator's own site.
Bus: Avanza
The cheapest option and, outside rush hour, close to the fastest. Avanza runs direct services from the stop at Terminal 3 Arrivals straight down the coast to Marbella bus station, no transfer and no stops.
- Price
- From €6.33 one way
- Duration
- 45 minutes, direct
- Ticket office
- Daily, 8:25am to 9:45pm
Taxi
No booking, no schedule. Every airport taxi runs on the meter against an official regulated fare table, and the fare already includes the flat airport supplement that gets added to every journey starting or ending at the terminal.
- Official fare
- €70–€82, airport supplement included
Private transfer
A pre-booked car with a fixed price agreed before you fly and a driver waiting at arrivals with your name. Costs more than the bus, less planning than a taxi rank, and no meter running if the flight is late. Fares are quoted per date and vehicle at booking, so none is republished here: check the live fare before you book.
