Travelling to the Costa del Sol with children? Here’s how to take the stress out of it

The Family Holiday Logistics Puzzle

Travelling with young children is a military operation. You’ve got the pushchair (pram), the car seats, the nappy bags, the suitcases, and the exhausted children. Arriving at Málaga Airport and trying to navigate public transport or haggle with two separate taxi drivers (because you can’t all fit in one car) is the quickest way to start a family row.

Safety regulations in Spain regarding child seats are strict, and the police frequently carry out checks on airport transfers. Standard taxis do not always carry child seats, or they may only have one available.

The Private Transfer Solution for Families

Costa del Sol Bus specialises in family logistics. We turn chaos into calm. Here’s how:

1. Safety is Non-Negotiable (Free Child Seats):
When you book with us, you provide the age and weight of your children. We fit the correct ISOFIX baby seats or booster cushions in the vehicle before we even leave our depot. You don’t need to take your own bulky car seats onto the plane. *Subject to availability and prior booking.*

2. A Place for Everything:
A double pushchair? Dad’s golf clubs? Inflatable pool toys? Our minivans have huge boots. Everything fits in the back, so you won’t be sitting with luggage under your feet.

3. One Vehicle for the Whole Tribe:
For multi-generational holidays (grandparents, parents and children), we offer 12–16-seater minibuses. Travelling together allows the grandparents to help look after the children, makes the journey more enjoyable, and is often cheaper than hiring two separate cars.

4. Direct to the Door:
If you are staying at a resort such as Benalmadena or Nerja, we’ll take you to reception. If you’ve hired a private villa, our drivers use GPS to find the exact location (even the tricky ones), so you don’t have to navigate with a crying baby in the back.

Start your holiday the moment you land. Safe, secure and simple.
