Frequently Asked Questions

The easiest way to reach La Maleva is to book an airport transfer with us in advance. Our friendly and reliable drivers will meet you at the airport holding a sign with your name and will take you directly to La Maleva.

Alternatively, you can use a Remis service (private car service), which can be found immediately after you pass through customs and just before exiting the secured area. We recommend the following companies: VIP Cars, Manuel Tienda León, and Transfer Express. Prices may vary, so it’s a good idea to compare.

Another option is to take a regular taxi. There is a central reservation desk located just outside the secured area. Under no circumstances should you accept rides from individuals who approach you with offers as you exit the airport. Instead, use the official taxi stand to ensure a safe and reliable ride.
