Airport Transportation in Asunción

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Silvio Pettirossi 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.

Airport transportation in Asunción takes you from Silvio Pettirossi International Airport in Luque to hotels and apartments in downtown Asunción, Villa Morra and Carmelitas, to homes and offices in Luque and San Lorenzo, and out to San Bernardino on Lake Ypacaraí, Ciudad del Este and Encarnación.

Asunción Airport Transfers

Our Asunción airport transfers start in the arrivals hall just past customs, where your driver waits with a sign bearing your name. The terminal has one arrivals exit, so finding each other is simple, and we track your flight so the driver is there when you land.

You get a fixed price per vehicle before you fly, in sizes from sedans for couples and business travelers to vans for families and groups. Every Asunción airport transfer goes door to door, whether you are staying at a downtown hotel, an apartment in Villa Morra, a family home in Luque or a lake house in San Bernardino.

Asunción Airport Shuttle

Our Asunción airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you are through customs and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and extra bags, so it suits families visiting relatives, business teams heading downtown and groups going on to San Bernardino, Ciudad del Este or Encarnación.

Landing at Asunción Airport

Silvio Pettirossi International Airport (ASU) is the main airport of Asunción, Paraguay's capital, although it sits in the neighboring city of Luque, beside Ñu Guasú Park. All domestic and international flights use one terminal with two concourses: the south concourse (gates 1–4) and the north concourse (gates 5–6), whose arrivals hall was expanded in 2023.

You clear immigration first, then collect your bags and pass customs in the same building, so the walk from the gate to the exit is short. The terminal has one arrivals exit into the arrivals hall, where pre-booked drivers wait.

Paraguay stays on UTC−3 all year and no longer changes its clocks for daylight saving time.

Entry requirements and local notes

Entry documents. Bring a valid passport and check whether your nationality needs a visa. Citizens of Mercosur countries can enter Paraguay with their national ID card.

Offers in the arrivals hall. People sometimes approach arriving passengers inside the building offering rides. Decline politely and look for the driver holding your name sign.

Year-round time. Paraguay stopped changing its clocks in 2024 and stays on UTC−3 all year, so keep this in mind when you set the time of a return pickup.

Heat and humidity. Asunción summers, from December to February, are hot and humid, so keep water and light clothes in your carry-on.

Asunción Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Asunción Airport?

Your driver waits in the arrivals hall just past customs, holding a sign with your name. The terminal has a single arrivals exit, so the meeting point is easy to find.

How far is Asunción Airport from the city center?

The airport is about 10 km from downtown Asunción, in the neighboring city of Luque. The main road into the capital is Aviadores del Chaco Avenue, which passes Ñu Guasú Park. Travel time depends on traffic, which is heaviest on weekday mornings and evenings.

Yes. San Bernardino, on the shore of Lake Ypacaraí, is a popular weekend and summer escape. Your private transfer goes straight from the airport to your hotel or lake house without passing through central Asunción.

Can you take me to Ciudad del Este or Encarnación?

Yes. Both are long road trips from Asunción, and a private transfer takes you directly, without changing vehicles at the Asunción bus terminal with your luggage. Tell us the address and how many bags you have when you book.

Which terminal will I arrive at in Asunción?

All flights use the single terminal at Silvio Pettirossi, with a south concourse (gates 1–4) and a north concourse (gates 5–6). Every airline arrives through the same exit, so there is no terminal to check.

Yes. Give the full address, the building name or apartment number and any gate instructions when you book, so your driver can find you without delay.

Should I accept rides from people in the arrivals hall?

No. Decline offers from people who approach you inside the building and look for your pre-booked driver with your name sign.

What do I need to enter Paraguay?

You need a valid passport, and some nationalities also need a visa. Citizens of Mercosur countries can enter with their national ID card. Check the current rules for your nationality before you travel.

Can I book a ride back to Asunción Airport?

Yes. Book a return from your hotel, apartment or home in Asunción, San Bernardino or elsewhere. All flights leave from the single terminal, so you only need to give us your flight time.

What time zone is Asunción in?

Paraguay stays on UTC−3 all year. It stopped changing its clocks for daylight saving time in 2024.

Is Airport Transportation the same as Silvio Pettirossi International Airport?
