Airport Transportation in Belize

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Philip S. W. Goldson 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.

From Philip S. W. Goldson International we take you to Belize City and its water taxi terminals for Caye Caulker and San Pedro, the Belize Zoo and the jungle lodges of San Ignacio and the Cayo District, and south along the coast to Hopkins, Dangriga and Placencia, with airport transportation in Belize booked before your flight.

Belize Airport Transfers

Your driver meets you outside the terminal after customs, at the meeting point in your confirmation. We track your flight, so a delay moves the pickup instead of cancelling it, and the price for the whole vehicle is fixed before you fly.

Belize airport transfers run door to door in sedans, SUVs and vans for groups: to hotels in Belize City, the water taxi terminals for the cayes, jungle lodges around San Ignacio and the Mountain Pine Ridge, and beach resorts in Hopkins and Placencia.

Belize Airport Shuttle

The Belize airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, with no stops for other passengers on the way. It has room for luggage and dive or fishing gear, and suits families, groups heading to jungle lodges in Cayo, and couples on their way to Placencia.

Landing at Belize Airport

Philip S. W. Goldson International Airport (BZE) is in Ladyville, north-west of Belize City. It has one terminal, so immigration, baggage claim and customs are quick to find, and small planes to San Pedro, Caye Caulker and other towns leave from the same airport.

Queues at immigration can build when several flights from the US land around midday. English is the official language, and US dollars are widely accepted alongside the Belize dollar. Belize is on Central time all year, with no daylight saving.

Entry requirements and local notes

  • Entry to Belize: you need a passport valid for the length of your stay and, for many nationalities, proof of onward travel. Check the visa rules for your passport before you fly.
  • Customs: declare goods over your duty-free allowance; fresh food, plants and meat are restricted.
  • Going to the cayes: if you're catching a water taxi in Belize City, give us the terminal and the boat time so the transfer leaves enough margin.
  • Long drives: roads to Placencia and the Cayo District are long and partly rural; arriving in daylight is easier.
