Getting around in Fuengirola

Getting to Fuengirola by Car
Fuengirola is a 25km drive from Malaga airport. Numerous rental car agents operate from within the airport, but you can usually save a few Euros by going to cheaper rental companies across the road from the airport, rather than renting from a company inside the airport. However, in reality hiring a car can be a poor choice, unless you are only stopping overnight. In Fuengirola it is often difficult to find on-street parking and in summer the traffic can be challenging for visitors. It can be a better option to get the train or a taxi into the city on the first night and then rent a car by the day if you wish to go sightseeing in the surrounding areas.

Take a Taxi to Fuengirola
Fuengirola is 20 minutes by taxi from Malaga airport, and taxis are available 24 hours a day. Fares are usually €25–30 (depending on time & season). The usual, common sense rules apply when taking a taxi abroad: agree the rate in advance, and if the driver is being vague mention ask to see the rate card "to help him understand your requirement". All taxis are required to have one. Be aware of the minibuses, as they will often try to charge you €65 or more.
