Transporting Pets from Malaga Airport

Published: October 23, 2025

Clear overviewlines on safely transporting your dogs and cats from AGP directly to your new home.

Transporting Pets from Malaga Airport

Relocating from the UK or Northern Europe to southern Spain is an exciting chapter, but bringing family pets adds significant logistical stress. Once your animals have cleared customs and veterinary checks at Malaga Airport, getting them to their final destination requires planning.

The Public Transit Barrier

Pets are subjected to harsh conditions on the Spanish train network, and buses routinely demand that animal carriers be stored in the dark, un-airconditioned luggage holds—a massively stressful experience for the animal.

The Cabin-Approved Transfer

We offer a humane, safe transport solution:

  • Cabin Travel: As long as your pet is contained securely within an appropriate travel carrier, they travel inside the main, climate-controlled cabin with you.
  • Temperature Control: Dual-zone air-conditioning ensures your animals do not overheat during the Andalusian summer.
  • Direct Routing: The AP-7 toll route is selected by default to guarantee the fastest, smoothest possible journey, minimizing their time confined in the carrier.

Please notify us in the booking notes that you are travelling with pets, and we will ensure your vehicle is prepared for an animal-friendly journey.
