Can anyone help - there are 8 of us going to Benalmadena (to the Benalmadena Palace Hotel) in August. I have done some research and found the following transfer deals to from Malaga return:

* Shuttledirect - £9.23 per person each way = £147.68 (on a coach I think??)
* Resorthoppa - £121.00 return in private taxi (minibus for up to 8) * Holidaytaxis - £100.80 retrun (as above)
* Nots sure how much just to get in a taxi (unbooked) from the airport ??

So on the face of it Holidaytaxis seems the best deal and they do Quidco too. Anyone been with any of the above and could recommend any, or advise on any I should steer clear??

Thanks in advance! :wave:

Eight people = 2 taxis. A taxi off the airport taxi rank will cost €25 per taxi per journey so you are looking at a maximum cost of €100 (~£70) return for 8 people.

There is a small surcharge after 10:30pm.

Sarlee, we just got back from Fuengirola. We got the train from Malaga airport to the resort, it runs regularly throughout the day. The train stops at Benalmadena. It cost us €1.80 each (Fuengirola is further away than Benalmadena), but have some euros in change available as Malaga airport train station is unmanned and only has a machine. We then got a taxi from Fuengirola train station to our hotel.
Currently, Malaga airport does have some stairs up to the platform, so I don't recommend it if you have a disability. Although the airport is undergoing reconstruction.

The train station at Malaga airport will eventually be an underground station
with lifts giving direct access to the arrivals and departures halls.

I did notice the building work, and read a little about what was planned. But didn't really know details.

Pat ... it seems to be a Majorca based resort transfer company, which also acts as a booking agent for transfer operators at some other Spanish destinations. It's possible that only your reservation would be handled by that company, and the actual transfer would be operated by someone else.
