Taxi Málaga Airport → Roquetas de Mar

Prices by vehicle

Single journey, VAT included, on toll-free roads; the AP-46 tunnel at Las Pedrizas is optional and settled separately if you want it. A return is exactly twice this figure. Starting at the train station or the cruise port changes nothing in the price.

Drop-off

Almost every hotel in Roquetas is on the Urbanización, a long, flat grid between the Avenida de las Gaviotas and the seafront, with wide roads and proper forecourts. The driver pulls into the hotel entrance and unloads at reception. Aguadulce, on the cliff road towards Almería, and the old fishing harbour area have narrower streets but still let the car reach the door. Tell us the exact hotel name; there are many, and several sound alike.

Two hours along the sea to the resort before Almería

Roquetas de Mar is the big beach resort of Almería province and, coming from Málaga, you reach it ten kilometres before the city. The driver follows the A-7 east along the whole coast, through the tunnels past Nerja and Almuñécar, beyond Motril and Adra, and leaves the motorway at the Roquetas exit for the last run down to the sea. It is 195 kilometres, about 125 minutes, and there is no toll anywhere on the way. The fixed price of €275 for a sedan is slightly below the Almería fare because the resort lies a few minutes closer.

The Urbanización, the old port and Aguadulce

Most hotels stand in the Urbanización, a long, flat strip of large resorts along the beach south of the old town, with wide avenues and hotel forecourts where the car stops at reception. The old town of Roquetas, around the port and the castle of Santa Ana, has smaller streets and apartments reached at the kerb. Aguadulce, a separate marina and beach district a few kilometres towards Almería, is within the same fixed price; tell us the hotel name and the driver leaves the motorway at the right exit for it.

Families, all-inclusive weeks and late flights

This is a family route more than any other on our list: big hotels, kids' clubs and a wide, safe beach. Child seats are free, and the estate at €330 takes the pushchair and five suitcases without squeezing. Many arrivals are on evening flights; the driver tracks your landing, the pickup moves with a delay at no charge, and the A-7 is quiet after dark, so a night transfer takes no longer than a daytime one. Ask for a stop at a service area if you travel with small children.

The greenhouse plain and the road ahead

From Adra to Roquetas the motorway crosses the Campo de Dalías, the vast plain of plastic greenhouses that supplies Europe with winter vegetables; it is a strange, shining landscape and the last thing you see before the sea. Roquetas is also a base for the Cabo de Gata park, an hour east, and for the Tabernas desert inland. If you want the driver to take you on to either of them on another day, we quote it as a separate journey.

Local tips for your arrival

• Give us the hotel name: the Urbanización is several kilometres long and the driver picks the right approach road.
• Travelling with children? Ask for child seats in the form and a rest stop halfway; both are free.
• Book 48 hours ahead so the car is reserved for the day, and add your flight number.
• If your hotel is in Aguadulce, say so; it has its own exit and the driver saves you the loop through Roquetas.

Back to Málaga from Roquetas de Mar

For the trip home the driver collects you at the hotel reception in the Urbanización, at your apartment door in the old town or in Aguadulce, at the hour you choose. Roquetas to Málaga Airport is 125 minutes; add two hours in the terminal, two and a half in summer or for flights outside Schengen, so a one o'clock flight means leaving at about half past eight. On the way back the driver can stop once for a break, which matters with children after a week at the beach.

From the train station or the cruise port

The fixed price to Roquetas de Mar is the same from Málaga-María Zambrano train station and from the cruise port. Choose your origin in the form; the driver meets you at the platform exit or outside the cruise terminal.
