Taxis, Mini-buses, coaches and car hire from Malaga airport
The easiest and quickest way to get to Nerja from Malaga airport is to organise a transfer. I recommend www.transferpeople.com who also organise our wedding day transport. Our clients get a discount on their public rates. Contact them and ask for a discount code. Check prices against José who organises our bridal party transport because he might be cheaper in some instances www.nerjataxis.com

The company is run by Vanessa who is English so there´s no language barrier. They can arrange taxis for up to 4people, mini-buses for up to 19people and coaches for up to 55people.
ALWAYS! Pre-order your transport because if you take a taxi on arrival at the airport the drivers there charge much more and they rarely know where they´re going when they get to Nerja.
Getting a public bus
Getting to Nerja by bus involves first getting from Málaga airport to Málaga city bus station. Although it may well involve a total journey time of around 2 hours, the buses are comfy and air-conditioned.
Getting from Malaga Airport to Malaga Bus Station:
The A Express bus (Line 75) leaves from outside the T3 arrivals area and follows the route:
The buses are every 20 to 30 minutes from 06:25 until 23:30 (to the airport) or 07:00 until 24:00 (from the airport). The journey time is 20 to 30 minutes.
At Málaga Bus Station, purchase a ticket from the Alsa Bus Company office. The Nerja bus usually goes from bay 38.

Car hire
I rarely recommend car hire because finding street parking is very difficult and it´s easier to get around town on foot. However, car hire can work out cheaper than a taxi and out of season (Oct to May) parking is not too bad. There are several municipal car parks but they can be expensive . There are also several car parks that are very cheap, 1€ per day. You pay the person at the entrance and they give you a ticket to put in the windscreen.
BEWARE! The cheapest car hire quote can often be deceptive. Choose a reputable company that has an office in Nerja like..
