Getting from Malaga Airport into the Costa del Sol
Once you leave the airport with your Fetajo car, the Costa del Sol opens up immediately:
| Destination | Distance | Driving time |
|---|---|---|
| Torremolinos | 12 km | 15 min |
| Fuengirola | 28 km | 30 min |
| Marbella | 55 km | 45 min |

The AP-7 motorway runs the length of the coast. The free A-7 (N-340) is the slower but toll-free alternative through the coastal towns.
Why Travellers Choose Fetajo Over the Airport Desks
The big international chains at Malaga Airport — Hertz, Avis, Europcar — have one thing in common: queues. At peak times in July and August those queues can run 45 minutes or more after a long flight.
Fetajo works differently. We operate direct-delivery: your car and your agent are at arrivals waiting for you, not behind a glass counter with a number system.
After 30 years on the Costa del Sol, our team speaks English, Spanish, German and French. We know every road, every toll, every beach car park. That local knowledge is part of what you are booking.
