Home›Málaga train station

Málaga-María Zambrano is the end of the high-speed line from Madrid and the hub for regional trains along the coast, and it stands in the middle of the city, ten minutes from the airport. If you arrive by AVE and your holiday is in Nerja, the Costa Tropical or Granada, or you are heading to Sierra Nevada with skis, a private transfer from the station costs exactly the same as one from the airport and starts at the platform exit.

The driver waits inside the station, next to the main hall at the top of the platform stairs, with your name on a sign. Give us the train number and we follow it as we would a flight, so a late arrival simply moves the pickup.

Meeting point: at the exit of the platforms, next to the main hall of María Zambrano station. The driver holds a sign with your name.

Who uses the station transfer

Travellers who fly into Madrid and take the AVE south, which reaches Málaga in under three hours and continues, with us, to Nerja in one more. Skiers who prefer the train to a connecting flight and want a car waiting for the climb to Pradollano. Passengers on the coastal regional line who need to get to Antequera or the Caminito with luggage. And the return: people finishing a week in Granada or the Axarquía who are catching the AVE north rather than a flight.

Where the driver meets you

María Zambrano has one main hall at street level above the platforms. Long-distance trains arrive on the lower level and passengers come up by escalator into the hall; the driver stands at the top of those escalators, by the exit to the taxi rank and the Vialia shopping centre. If you have booked a pickup for the return journey, the driver drops you at the same entrance, on Explanada de la Estación, with time to check in for your train.

Same prices, same rules

Every destination on this site has the same fixed price from the station as from the airport: Nerja €95, Granada €199, Seville €279, Sierra Nevada €259 for a sedan, and so on down the tables below. Fifteen minutes of waiting are free at the station, after which the driver waits at the rate in your confirmation, and long routes over 150 kilometres need 48 hours' notice as usual. Choose the station as your starting point in the booking form and the price stays the same.

Frequently asked questions

Can I book a transfer from Málaga train station to the airport?

Yes, though the two are only ten minutes apart and the price is the minimum fare. Most passengers use us for the longer legs: from the station to Nerja, Granada, Antequera or the Costa Tropical, or from those places back to the station for the AVE.

What if my AVE is delayed?

Give us the train number when you book and we follow it. The driver adjusts to the real arrival time, and the first fifteen minutes of waiting at the station are free; beyond that the rate in your confirmation applies.

Is there somewhere to leave luggage if I want to see Málaga before the transfer?

The station has a left-luggage service; check its hours on the operator's site. If you prefer, book your transfer for a later time and the driver collects you at the same meeting point whenever you are ready.

Is a deposit or card needed to reserve?

Neither. You reserve with your name and contact details only, and you pay the driver at the end of the journey, in cash or by card in the vehicle.

What if my plans change?

Change the time or the address, or cancel altogether, at no cost up to 24 hours before the pickup. The link is in your confirmation email; for anything later, write to us and we do what we can.

How much notice do the long routes need?

Two days for anything beyond 150 kilometres: Seville, Córdoba, Jaén, Úbeda, Almería, Roquetas, Mojácar, Sierra Nevada, Lanjarón and Guadix. The car and the driver are set aside for most of a day. Nearer destinations are usually confirmed the same day.
