ARRIVING BY TAXI:
There are taxis right outside the door of the airport, ready to take you to your Benalmadena property. This is by far the most comfortable option.The prices are divided into two categories.
Category 1;
Work days between 6am and 10pm: approximately 0,9 Euros for every kilometre.
Category 2;
Between 10 pm and 6am, Saturdays, Sundays and bank holidays, the whole day; approximately 1,01 Euros every kilometre. A taxi should cost you approximately 15 Euros depending on the category and the exact area within Benalmadena .
A taxi carries four passengers. Babies must use their own security baby chair, small children under 135cm. must use their own booster seat, and children under 140 cm must not sit in the front. Most Spanish taxi drivers will allow children without their own security chair, because if the police stop you on your journey, you pay the fine, not him!
