Airport Transportation in La Paz

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Manuel Márquez de León 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 La Paz's airport we take you to downtown La Paz and the hotels along the Malecón, Costa Baja, the Pichilingue ferry terminal and the road to Balandra, El Centenario, and the Pacific towns of Todos Santos and El Pescadero, with airport transportation in La Paz booked before your flight.

La Paz Airport Transfers

Your driver meets you at the arrivals exit with a sign showing your name. 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.

La Paz airport transfers run door to door in sedans, SUVs and vans for groups: to hotels on the Malecón and downtown, resorts and marinas at Costa Baja, the ferry to the mainland at Pichilingue, rentals in El Centenario, and boutique hotels in Todos Santos.

La Paz Airport Shuttle

The La Paz airport shuttle is a private van for your party only, with no stops at other hotels on the way. It has room for luggage and dive or fishing gear and suits families, divers heading out to Espíritu Santo, and groups on their way to Todos Santos.

Landing at La Paz Airport

Manuel Márquez de León International Airport (LAP) sits south-west of La Paz, on the bay side of the Baja California peninsula. It has one terminal, so baggage claim and the arrivals exit are a short walk from the gate.

International arrivals clear Mexican immigration and customs inside the terminal; queues are usually short. La Paz is on Mountain time (Baja California Sur), one hour behind Mexico City.

Entry requirements and local notes

  • Entry to Mexico: international arrivals need a passport valid for the length of the stay. Keep any immigration record you're given until you leave.
  • Customs: you may be asked to press the customs button after baggage claim; declare goods over your duty-free allowance.
  • Not La Paz, Bolivia: this page is for La Paz in Baja California Sur, Mexico (LAP). Check the code on your ticket.
  • Pickup: meet your driver at the arrivals exit described in your confirmation, not with drivers offering rides in the hall.
