Private Transfers

For greater comfort and security, especially if you are traveling in a group or with a lot of luggage, you can book a private transfer service in advance. This guarantees you a fixed price and a driver waiting for you upon your arrival.

When booking online, you can choose the type of vehicle you need. The driver will wait for you in the arrivals area with a sign bearing your name to take you directly to your destination. To check updated rates and make a reservation, you can do so through the following link:

Service advantages: Free onboard Wi-Fi, air conditioning, ample luggage space, and flexibility for flight delays (you can take the next service at no additional cost, subject to availability).

Express Bus

The Airport Express Lima is the official bus service connecting Jorge Chávez International Airport with the Miraflores district. Upon arrival at the airport, the official counters are located in both the domestic and international arrivals areas, and the bus is boarded from the parking area in front of the terminal exit.

To reach the airport from the city, the main stops are located at the Marriott Hotel (Larcomar), the Tourist Information Center (Av. Larco), Kennedy Park, and the Boulevard Hotel (Av. Pardo).

The service features air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, USB ports, and spacious internal luggage racks with no baggage limit. The fare is S/ 20 soles per trip, with a reduced fare of S/ 15 soles for groups of two or more passengers or online purchases. Payment can be made at the airport counter, through the official website, or directly to staff when boarding at Miraflores stops.

The journey takes between 45 and 75 minutes, with an hourly frequency, operating from the airport between 7:00 a.m. and 10:00 p.m., and from Miraflores to the terminal between 7:00 a.m. and 9:00 p.m.

Taxis

Inside the terminal, in the arrivals area, you will find the counters of authorized taxi companies. For safety, it is highly recommended to use only these official services and avoid taking informal taxis outside the airport. Some of the authorized companies are:

  • Taxi Green
  • Taxi 365
  • Taxi Directo

Uber and Cabify

App-based services like Uber and Cabify are available at the airport. The designated meeting point for passengers is located in the parking area, outside the terminal building. It is essential that, after requesting your ride, you verify the exact location of the pickup point indicated by the app to meet your driver.

Public Buses

There are various public bus routes (known as "combis" or "micros") that pass along Av. Elmer Faucett, in front of the airport, and connect to different districts of Lima such as Miraflores or the Historic Center. This is the most economical option, but it is not recommended if you are traveling with a lot of luggage, at night, or are unfamiliar with the city's transportation system, as it requires walking outside the airport premises.

Transportation Tips to/from the airport

Some of these tips may seem obvious, but they are worth keeping in mind when traveling to or from the airport, especially if you are using public transportation.
 
 1 - To the airport: leave a little earlier than usually recommended. If you take a taxi or a private car service, allow for rush hour traffic, demonstrations, strikes or events that could delay your trip. It always helps to check the local news before you leave.
 
If you book a shared shuttle, keep the company's contact number handy in case the pickup is late. These services usually confirm a scheduled pickup time in advance.
 
If you use public transportation (bus or train), check the schedules (weekends and holidays usually have less frequent service), whether you need to transfer, and how to pay the fare (a transit card, or cash to the driver). These details seem obvious, but knowing them ahead of time can save you from a delay that could cause problems.
 
If you drive a rental car to the airport, check where to return it. Many airports have a dedicated rental car return area.
 
 2 - From the airport: this part is less stressful, since there is no risk of missing a flight. At worst, you will reach your hotel or meeting point a little later than planned.
 
Once you leave the plane, collect your baggage and complete any required arrival procedures. Then follow the signs for ground transportation or ask airport staff.
 
Check bus and train schedules in advance if you arrive late at night, since not all services run 24 hours. The same applies to taxis. If you plan to use a ride-hailing app such as Uber, have it ready on your phone to contact the driver.
 
If you booked a private transfer, a driver will usually be waiting for you with a sign. If you are renting a car, booking in advance gives you more peace of mind. Rental counters are usually located in the arrivals hall.
