Other alternatives include jumping on a bus. There is a regular bus service which you can catch just a couple of minutes’ walk from the arrival terminal. If you are travelling along the Costa del Sol, then you would be better off walking the few hundred metres across the border into Spain and going to the bus station there. Failing that, you could opt for a taxi which will be relatively cheap considering the short distance you’ll need to travel. Finally you could decide to hire a car from the airport. This is a great idea if you are planning to travel around further than Gibraltar as you’ll easily be able to get from one place to another without relying on public transport.
