FAQ Continued...
Malaga Airport is patrolled constantly by the police and government inspectors looking for illegal touts. If a Transfer Company asks to meet you anywhere apart from the designated area in the arrivals terminal, they will be illegal, (even if they use the excuse that this is due to building work), and their vehicles will not be insured for passenger liability cover. You should remember that if stopped by the Guardia Civil (Police) the vehicle would be confiscated immediately leaving you stranded. A vehicle that is licensed will be SP (Servicio Publico) plated by the Spanish Authorities and you can always ask to see a copy of the companies ‘Tarjeta de Transporte’ license if you are concerned. Please don’t ruin your holiday before it has started.
And on departure?
Your driver will meet you at your pre-arranged time and pick up point.
Please be aware that the taxi / private hire laws in Spain are very strict. There are several Illegal Companies on the Costa Del Sol openly advertising on the internet as legitimate taxi/transfer companies. There are also apartment owners and letting agents offering cheap transfers, these are also illegal.
