How do I get from the airport to La Maleva?

The easiest way to get to La Maleva is to use one of the Remis companies (a private car service), which you can find right after going through customs, just before exiting the secured area. The companies we recommend are WorldCars, VIP, Manuel Tienda Leon, or Airport Express. Prices vary, so it may be worth shopping around.

There is also the possibility of taking a taxi. There is a central reservation desk located just outside the secured area. Do not accept rides offered to you in the airport if they are not affiliated with a taxi or Remise service.
