Airport Transportation in Acapulco

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from General Juan N. Álvarez International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

Our airport transportation in Acapulco takes you from General Juan N. Álvarez International Airport to the hotels of the Costera Miguel Alemán, the resorts of Acapulco Diamante, Puerto Marqués or Pie de la Cuesta, with a driver ready for you when you land.

Acapulco Airport Transfers

Our Acapulco airport transfers start the moment you walk out of arrivals: your driver follows your flight, waits for you at the meeting point and takes you straight to your hotel, resort or vacation rental. You choose the vehicle for your party, from a private sedan to a 16-seat group van, and the price per vehicle is fixed before you fly.

Book an Acapulco airport transfer one way or round trip, and your ride back to the airport for your departure is arranged on the same reservation.

Acapulco Airport Shuttle

Our Acapulco airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, leaving as soon as you're through customs, with room for suitcases, golf bags and beach gear. It suits families, golf groups, wedding guests and friends traveling together to the bay.

Our services

From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Landing at Acapulco Airport

General Juan N. Álvarez International Airport, the airport travelers call Acapulco International, sits on the Pacific coast southeast of Acapulco, beyond the Acapulco Diamante resort area. It has one two-level terminal, operated by Grupo Aeroportuario Centro Norte (OMA), that handles both domestic and international flights.

  • Immigration: international passengers clear passport control first. With only a few international flights a day, lines are usually short, but they slow down when two flights from the US or Canada land close together.
  • Baggage claim and customs: after baggage claim you hand in your customs declaration and press the button of the random inspection system; a green light means you walk straight out, a red light means a quick bag check.
  • Domestic arrivals skip immigration and customs and come straight out after baggage claim.
  • Time zone: Acapulco is on Mexico's Central Time (UTC−6) all year, with no daylight saving time.

Entry requirements and local notes

  • Passport and entry permit: international visitors need a passport valid for the length of the stay. Mexico's immigration officer records your authorized stay (stamp or digital entry record) on arrival; keep it until you leave the country.
  • Customs declaration: fill it in on the plane or at the airport. Cash over USD 10,000 or its equivalent must be declared.
  • Who can pick you up: only authorized vehicles can collect passengers at the terminal. Go straight to the meeting point in your confirmation and turn down offers from people in the arrivals hall selling taxis, tours or timeshares.
  • Pesos: carry some Mexican pesos for tips and small purchases; many local taxis and stalls take cash only.
  • Hurricane season: June to November. If a storm closes the airport or changes your flight, contact us to move your pickup.

Acapulco Airport Transportation FAQs

How far is Acapulco airport from the hotel zone?

The airport is about 26 km by road from the Costera Miguel Alemán, Acapulco's main hotel strip, a drive of roughly 30 to 45 minutes depending on traffic. Hotels in Acapulco Diamante are closer, usually 15 to 25 minutes away, while Pie de la Cuesta, on the far side of the city, takes about an hour or more.

How many terminals does Acapulco airport have?

One. Acapulco International Airport has a single two-level terminal for both domestic and international flights, so there is no terminal to choose when you book: your driver meets you outside arrivals.

Is there a taxi stand at Acapulco airport?

Yes. Authorized airport taxis are sold at a counter inside the terminal after baggage claim, with fares set by zone. A pre-booked private transfer avoids the line at the counter and has a vehicle sized for your group and luggage waiting for you.

Which airlines fly to Acapulco?

Domestic flights connect Acapulco with Mexico City and other Mexican cities such as Monterrey, Guadalajara, Tijuana and Cancún on airlines including Aeroméxico, Volaris and Viva. Internationally, United flies from Houston, with seasonal flights from Dallas and Canada. Schedules change by season, so check with your airline.

What time zone is Acapulco in?

Acapulco uses Mexico's Central Time (UTC−6) all year round. Mexico no longer observes daylight saving time, so the time difference with the US and Canada changes when they switch clocks. Use your local arrival time when you give us your flight details.
