How to get a door-to-door transportation for families or groups?
If you are looking for maximum comfort and peace of mind when traveling to or from Benito Juárez International Airport, you can opt for a private transfer service.
The best option is to book online in advance so a driver will be waiting for you, and you won’t have to negotiate prices with taxis or transfer companies. You can book vehicles for 4 people (USD35.71), minibuses with capacity for 8 passengers (USD78.55), and buses with 46 seats (USD549.75).
The reservation must be made at least 24 hours in advance. At the airport, the driver will be waiting for you with a sign with your name as soon as you leave the baggage claim area and enter the public arrivals area. If you are at a hotel or apartment, the driver will wait for you outside the building. If parking is available, sometimes they may wait for you at the reception.
