hi again everyone,

tomorrow we leave for home afer a great holiday. we are not using the flexible trips " jumbo bus " transfer to malaga airport, but a taxi instead. I had some issues on arrival 2 weeks ago with them, and yesderday when i phoned they said that transfer would pick us up at 8.30am, and what with collecting at other hotels etc etc, and easy jet closing the desk at 10.20am, too risky and a rush i dont need or want............being times out again here so will add more when i get home
great hol great weather

Hi
We are going to La Carihuela in July and landing at Malaga. I know i have read a lot about how easy the trains are but as there are Two adults three teenagers and a 3 year old (with lots of luggage) we really want to use some airport transfer even if more expensive than trains. We do not want to use shared transport we need either a minibus or 2 taxis
Has anyone used resort Hoppa (i have read bad and good about them) or any other companys they could recomend?
Thanks for any advice :)

Just a bit of information on Taxi prices, we missed the last train from the Airport to Fuengirola last week so had to take a taxi it was 43 Euro for two at 1145 pm driver said it would have been 34 Euro normal times. Hope this may be of interest to someone.

Also did a bus from Fuengirola to Gibraltar this was 8.62 Euro each one way, worth buying a ticket the day before you intend going as we tried to get on the 10:30 and it was full had to wait for the 15:00 if you buy a ticket in advance it gives you a guaranteed seat, we did this for the return from La linia two days before we came back with no problem.

Think I got it right, there is a direct bus from Malaga Airport to Estapona.
A company called Avansabus ?
Any idea how much this costs?

There are 4 a day weekdays 07:00 10:00 13:15 21:00 and its 8.07 euros single.Maybe it might be worth going to Torremolinos or Fuengirola bus stations to see if they run more frequent.

Thanks,
10.00 is perfect for us.

Do you happen to know, do you buy tickets on the bus?

There is a Malaga Airport-Estepona bus run by Portillo, which takes one hour, 15 minutes and costs 10.10 euros. Buy your ticket on the bus. Times on this link.

Hi what is the cost of a taxi from airport to Sahara sunset club arriving about 10.30am many thanks

BM around €26-28, or you could get the train @ €1.55c to Arroyo/Benalmadena, and from there, a taxi down to SS for around €7-8, the taxi rank is outside train station..
