We told you at the beginning of February that a Covid test centre would be opened at Malaga airport and finally this centre has opened this week. It was really long overdue!
- No refuelling fee
- Free cancellation
- Hire without intermediaries
- Pay when you pick up your car
At last a centralised service at the airport is available to travellers, which will greatly ease the headaches related to mandatory tests for those travellers returning home.
I flew myself recently, in this link you will find all you need to know about flying to Malaga in times of Covid.

Covid test centre at Malaga airport
This is good news and we are very happy about it, as it makes our journey home much easier. The great advantages of this airport centre are firstly the very fast results, which are sent directly to the traveller’s email.
And secondly and not least, the enormous price competitiveness, as a PCR costs half of what it normally costs in a laboratory.
Now we look at all the issues in detail, prices, location, if you need to make an appointment, read on!
Covid tests available at Malaga airport and prices
PCR test: Detects whether you have virus genetic material (RNA) in the earliest stages of infection. It is the test of choice in most European countries. Therefore, it is either required by airlines before boarding the flight or you have to show it on arrival in your country, or else show it within 48 hours. Test results are available in less than 12 hours.
Price: 58,68€.
Rapid Antigen Test: Detects if you have viral proteins and, therefore, if you carry the virus. Results are available in 15-20 minutes
Price: 24,45€.
Rapid Antibody Test: Detects if you have generated antibodies against the virus. Results are available in 15-20 minutes
Price: 29,34€.
The certificate with the test result will be sent directly to the traveller’s contact email, and can also be consulted and downloaded from the reference website.
Book appointment online
You have to book online in advance through their website www.travelcovidtestcenter.com. The website is available in English and Spanish. This makes it easier to plan your trip and avoids unnecessary queues and waiting.
Location of the centre and opening hours
The Travel COVID Test Centre is located at Malaga Costa del Sol Airport in Terminal T2 on the first floor. To access the terminal, you must show your boarding pass and/or flight reservation. You will only be able to access your terminal 72 hours before your flight.
The opening hours are currently from 8 am to 6 pm, but opening hours will be extended at a later date.
What do I need to bring to the appointment?
Passport or ID card, confirmation of the appointment and face mask are required.
Please avoid eating, drinking, smoking or brushing your teeth one hour before the test.
What should I do if the test comes back positive?
If your test result is positive, you must leave the airport.
In compliance with Royal Decree Law 26/2020, article 5, if the result of the diagnostic test is positive, the client cannot travel and must leave the airport.

Good morning,
My partner and I will be flying to Turkey from Malaga at 11.55am on Monday the 25th of October.
My partner will only arrive here from the U.K. this Saturday so only 9 days before our flight to Turkey so I understand that he has to have a negative pcr test done within 72hours of the flight (even though he is double vaccinated and has the covid pass) and I (I live in Spain but am not vaccinated) just have to have a negative rapid antigen test within 48hours of the flight. I am pretty sure this is correct but do correct me if I am wrong and can you please book us in together on Sunday the 24th please at any time as i live in Churriana… The site doesn’t work and I can’t find a number to call and n response to my e mail to them…
Many thanks
Lucy
Hi Lucy,
You are right about the tests needed. Please go to https://travelcovidtestcenter.com/aeropuerto-de-malaga/ and make your reservations from there. It’s working right now (but it takes a long time to load). We have no relation with the test centre.

Hi,
Travelling with 10 others an all of us booked our tests for next Friday morning. Some of us however have had a terminal 3 added next to our names on the email confirmation. Can I have some further advice on this? Do we need to split up and go different places in the airport to test? If so where is terminal 3 testing compared to the terminal 2 that is said above is where the testing is?
Thank you!
Hi Leah,
As far as I know, there is only one clinic, it’s located between T2 and T3:

Hi, I’m travelling to Scotland on the 17th, the restrictions require a certain sensibility and load, If I were to take the test a day before (the 16th) would it meet Scotlands requirements? (which are the following) “an antigen test, such as a test from a lateral flow device, though many lateral flow devices may not meet the standards needed – you must check the test you buy meets standards of ≥97% specificity and ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml”
Thanks
Hi Daniel, those test are made specifically for travelling. They must apply to those conditions.

Hi! I have an antigen test booked for 7:35 am and my flight to the UK departs at 9:00 am the same day. I will be traveling with hand luggage only. Does this leave me enough time to pass through security and arrive at my gate? I can’t find information on the terminal of my flight. I’m also wondering whether the certificate I will receive is only via email or will it also be printed for me? Thank you!
Hi Tash, you have a tight schedule. Try to be there about 10-15 minutes before your test time.

I have a appointment on Sunday 7.40
My flight is 8.40 and will board around 8.00.
I dont know how long it takes to board. What do you advise?
Hi Rowena, it depends on the test, it can take about 5-10 minutes for the rapid tests, and up to 12 hours for the pcr. If you have to check-in, I’m not sure you will have enough time.
Regards,
MalagaCar.com
It is a antigeen test.
Mayby i can come 7.00?
You probably won’t be able to change the appointment now, but maybe you can do the check-in before the test.
Thank you. I will check in online before the flight. Do they need to check the results in Spain or the country im flying to?
They should check your results before boarding.

Hola, voy a viajar de Málaga a Las Palmas de Gran Canaria el 9 de julio y luego volver a Málaga el 16 de julio. ¿Mi pregunta es si necesito un test negativo al entrar en Las Palmas y luego volver a Málaga o para los vuelto interno no se exige?
Gracias de antemano
Hola María, no se exigirá PCR o test de antígenos a aquellos viajeros nacionales que hayan pasado el coronavirus o que hayan recibido la vacuna contra el Covid-19 al menos 15 días antes del viaje. En cualquier otro caso, necesitará PCR negativa (o test de antígenos).
Un saludo,
MalagaCar.com
Hola de nuevo,
¿Se acepta una PCR negativa o el test de antígenos valdrá también? Muchas gracias x la info!
Ambas opciones son válidas.
Me gustaría hacerle una pregunta más. De vuelta a Málaga (de Gran Canaria) ¿me van a pedir el test en el aeropuerto de Gran Canaria o en el aeropuerto de Málaga al entrar? Porque necesito saber si me puedo hacer el test en Málaga o debe tenerlo de Gran Canaria. Gracias!
Para volver a Málaga no necesitará ninguna prueba.

Hello all ,
I have two appointments booked and paid for for 5th July at 8:45 am. Our flight canceled so can pass these two appointments to new people. Please let me know
Avoid this service at all costs. The website doesn’t work so turned up for an antigen test without an appointment, turns out they have no available appointments for the next 2 weeks here. Was told to come back the next day at 7:30am for a pcr test instead to get the results back in 12 hours for our 9:55pm flight. Was told when we got there at 7:30am we may not get the results in time for the flight so there was no point in doing the test.
We asked if they knew any alternatives and they were very unhelpful. Have booked an appointment at Intermedical in Benalmádena instead, seems far more reliable and worth the extra money.
Hi Ruby,
I’m sorry you had a bad experience. They only work with appointments, and as you said, it’s really difficult to get one within the next 2 weeks.

hi we are travelling to nerja from UK September 4th arrive back in Scotland oct 2nd we have both vaccinations
what test do we need for entry to Spain and then entry bsck to uk
Hi Lynda, currently you only need your vaccine proof to enter Spain.
To get back to the UK, you will need a PCR test, but it will probably change in the following months.
Regards,
MalagaCar.com
You do not need anything apart from filling out the location form, you do not need proof of vaccination and do not need any test at present to get into spain

That’s right. If you come from the UK, at this moment you only need the FCS form: https://www.spth.gob.es/

Hi All,
Unfortunately, I was not able to book 2 PCR tests for the same day for my wife and her sister.
I ended up with 2 appointments , June 22nd , 4PM , order appointment number: 107090 & June 23rd , 08.35AM , order appointment number:106736 ( both paid today but no confirmation e-mails received yet )
Is there any way we could combine these appointments into one appointment?
I’ve been trying to contact the centre ( +34918267742 ) a zillion time but only receive a recording in Spanish.
Your swift response would be highly appreciated.
Help!!!
Hi Theo, you can also contact them via email: info@travelcovidtestcenter.com
I doubt they will let you do both tests in the same day, but you can try to get there and see if it is possible.
Comments are moderated, so you won’t see them published until it is approved.

Hi All,
I did contact the travel covid centre via e-mail and they responded swiftly.
They have managed to combine both appointments to the 23rd of June for which I’m extremely grateful, great customer service !!!
Hi Theo, that’s great!
Kind regards,
MalagaCar.com
I would not recommend using this service. They’re customer service and website are appalling. We booked for both of us and after payment on creditcard seemed to go through fine, only one of our appointments was confirmed.
We tried calling like 10 times, but no answer, tried emailing, replies took way too long. When they finally replied all the time slots suitable for our flight were already filled!
I wanted to cancel and get a refund, but they say this is not possible.
Would definitely not book here. Unprofessional service.
Hi Emma,
I’m sorry you had such a bad experience with them. Please try contacting them again to solve your issue. In case you don’t get a solution, you can make a claim at the European Consumer Centre: https://cec.consumo.gob.es/en/CEC/web/secciones/Centro_Europeo_Consumidor.htm

Hi,
I have a flight from malaga to CPH on the 29th of june. If i book for a PCR test on the 27th will I then be able to enter the airport and leave again?
Also, do you know how old the PCR test is allowed to be when boarding aircraft (flying SAS)?
Tks
Hi Charlotte,
You can leave the airport after your test. In order to flight to Denmark, your PCR can’t be older than 48 hours (prior to boarding).

Hello, I have a booking with you (arriving Sunday 13 June approx 19.45 hrs). I just learned that any test for people travelling to Spain can be maximum 48 hours old. We are being tested this Friday 11 June at 12.20 noon, so this is a bit longer than 48 hours before we land in Malaga. Would that be a problem ? If you do not know, could you tell me where I can get confirmation ?
Hi Luc,
Your test can be done up to 72 hours prior to your arrival.

Hi Sophie, if you are travelling from Spain, you will need a PCR (no older than 24 hours) and you have to do a 10 days quarantine on arrival (you can do a PCR on the 5th day, if it is negative, you can end the quarantine).

Hi
Can you confirm that the Rapid Antigen test is accepted for entry back into the UK
Hi Paul,
It should be enough. Here is the official statement from the UK government:
The test must meet performance standards of ≥97% specificity, ≥80% sensitivity at viral loads above 100,000 copies/ml.
This could include tests such as:
– A nucleic acid test, including a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) test or derivative technologies, including loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP) tests
– An antigen test, such as a test from a lateral flow device

Hi Cat,
Here is all you need to do:

hi
how is it possible to have opening hours from 08-18 but I can book an appointment at 20?
What type of test do I need to fly to Czech Republic and is it legit to enter the country of Czechia only with an email?
Kind regards
Hi Diana,
They are extending its opening hours, so they will be there to attend you.
About the Czech Republic restrictions, these are the requirements stated in IATA:
– A completed “Public Health Passenger Locator Form” must be presented before boarding. The form can be found at http://www.prijezdovyformular.cz/.
– A negative COVID-19 antigen test taken at most 24 hours before departure from the first embarkation point.
– A negative COVID-19 PCR test taken at most 72 hours before departure from the first embarkation point.
– Passengers could be subject to a COVID-19 test upon arrival and quarantine.
Most of them do not apply for Czech nationals, so please check out with your airline.

Is Antigen test okay for going to United States? I leve April 20. I have a test appointment April 19.
Hi Larry, here is the information from the US Embassy in Spain:
Effective January 26, all airline passengers to the United States ages two years and older must provide a negative COVID-19 viral test taken within three calendar days of travel. Alternatively, travelers to the United States may provide documentation from a licensed health care provider of having recovered from COVID-19 in the 90 days preceding travel.
What types of SARS-CoV-2 test are acceptable under the Order?
Passengers must be tested with a viral test that could be either an antigen test or a nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT). Examples of available NAATs for SARS-CoV-2 include but are not restricted to reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), reverse transcription loop-mediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP), transcription-mediated amplification (TMA), nicking enzyme amplification reaction (NEAR), and helicase-dependent amplification (HDA). The test used must be authorized for use by the relevant national authority for the detection of SARS-CoV-2 in the country where the test is administered. A viral test conducted for U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) personnel, including DOD contractors, dependents, and other U.S. government employees, and tested by a DOD laboratory located in a foreign country also meets the requirements of the Order.
Can I get a rapid test?
Rapid tests are acceptable as long as they are a viral test acceptable under the Order.

Hello, we are planning this week to pay online and reserve a PCR test for our flight in early May on Aer Lingus to Dublin. We are concerned our flight might cancel again. Can we cancel our test reservation and reschedule the appointment for another flight date?

Hi, I will be returning to Malaga from Croatia end on June. Is it possible to have test on arrival or do I need one here in Croatia before I depart? They are nearly €200 here so hoping on arrival at Malaga is an option!

If I want to fly home to Stockholm, Sweden, do I have to take a test to get access to the airport?
Hi Catrin,
You don’t need a PCR to access to the airport, the tests required depend on the country of destination. It seems that Sweden only ask for a negative test if you are not Swedish:

This is NOT true – the testing centre is still not open – the appointments are accepted only starting 29/03!
Hi Greg, you are right.
Currently the first date you can book a test is the 29th March.

Hi Greg, we’ve gathered more information about this. Indeed, it has been open since the last week, but they can do a limited number of tests per day, so you need to get your appointment in advance.

Hi, my flight is at 10:15 and i have a rapid antigen test at 9:30. it was the only free time. Do you think it is enough time? Is the test center after the security check? Where does the airline check the result?
Hi Lucia, the test center is outside the security check. I think it’s too risky, you could miss your flight. I would get the test at https://www.intermedicalss.com/
