Airport Transportation in Lima

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Jorge Chávez 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 Lima takes you from Jorge Chávez International Airport to hotels and apartments in Miraflores, Barranco and San Isidro, to Lima's historic center and Callao, and further down the coast to Paracas.

Lima Airport Transfers

Our Lima airport transfers start in the public arrivals hall on the first floor of the new terminal, where your driver waits after customs with a name sign and walks you to the car in the parking area or the marked Vía Libre pickup bays. We track your flight, so the pickup follows your real landing time.

Choose a vehicle sized for your party, from a sedan to a van for a family or group, and each Lima airport transfer goes door to door to your hotel, apartment or office. Heading to Paracas, Ica or other towns on the southern coast? Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Lima Airport Shuttle

Our Lima airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you have your bags and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There is room for suitcases and backpacks, so it suits families and groups on their way to Miraflores and Barranco or starting a trip around Peru.

Landing at Lima Airport

Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM) is the main airport of Lima and of Peru, in Callao, northwest of Lima's historic center. Since June 1, 2025, all domestic and international passenger flights use the new terminal on the west side of the airfield; the old terminal on Avenida Faucett no longer handles passengers.

On an international flight you clear Peruvian immigration first, then collect your bags in the baggage hall and pass through customs into the arrivals hall on the first floor of the new terminal, where the information desks are.

Peru uses UTC-5 all year, with no daylight saving time.

Entry requirements and local notes

Virtual entry record. Peru no longer stamps passports at Lima. Migraciones creates an electronic entry record, the virtual Andean Migration Card (TAM), which you can download from its website if you need proof of entry. Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality.

Pickup lanes. The lane in front of arrivals is reserved for vehicles authorized by the airport operator, so private cars collect passengers in the parking area or the marked Vía Libre bays. Your driver walks you there.

New access roads. The new terminal is reached from Avenida Morales Duárez over temporary bridges while the permanent Santa Rosa bridge is built, so allow extra time when heading back to the airport.

Peruvian sol. The currency is the Peruvian sol (PEN), and small bills are useful for tips.

Lima Airport Transportation FAQs

Where will my driver meet me at Lima Airport?

Your driver waits in the public arrivals hall on the first floor of the new terminal, after customs, holding a sign with your name, and then walks you to the car in the parking area or the Vía Libre pickup bays.

How far is Lima Airport from Miraflores?

Jorge Chávez International Airport is about 17 km from Miraflores by road and about 11 km from Lima's historic center. Traffic in Lima and Callao is heavy at rush hour, so allow extra time.

Is Lima Airport in Lima?

The airport is in Callao, a separate region that forms part of the Lima metropolitan area, northwest of the historic center.

Can you take me to Miraflores, Barranco or San Isidro?

Yes. We drive you door to door to hotels, apartments and offices in Miraflores, Barranco, San Isidro and the rest of Lima. Give us the full address when you book.

Can you take me to Lima's historic center?

Yes. Enter your hotel address in the historic center when you book, and your driver takes you straight there.

Can you take me to a hotel near the airport in Callao?

Yes. If you have an early flight or a connection the next day, enter your Callao hotel address when you book.

Can you take me to Paracas or Ica?

Paracas and Ica are on the southern coast, a long trip from the airport. Enter the address in the booking form: when a vehicle is available for that route, the price shows before you pay; if it does not, contact us before you fly.

Can I get a transfer from Lima Airport to Cusco or Machu Picchu?

Cusco, the base for Machu Picchu, is reached by a domestic flight from the same terminal at Jorge Chávez, with LATAM Airlines, Sky Airline and JetSMART. If you stay a night in Lima between flights, we can take you to your hotel and back.

Which terminal will I arrive at?

All domestic and international flights use the single new terminal, opened on June 1, 2025, so there is no terminal to choose.

Do I need a form to enter Peru?

No paper form is needed at Lima. Migraciones generates an electronic entry record, the virtual Andean Migration Card (TAM), during immigration control, and you can download it free from the Migraciones website. Whether you need a visa depends on your nationality.

Should I buy transportation from agents inside the terminal?

There is no need. Your ride is booked before you fly and your driver waits in the arrivals hall with your name, so you can walk past the desks and offers in the hall.

What happens if my flight to Lima is delayed?

We track the arrival of the flight on your reservation, so your driver adjusts to a delay. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or your flight is cancelled, tell customer service so we can move your pickup.

Can I book a ride back to Lima Airport?

Yes. Book a return from your hotel and give us your flight time. The new terminal is reached over temporary access bridges, so your pickup leaves extra margin for traffic.

Is Airport Transportation the same as Jorge Chávez International Airport?

No. Airport Transportation is a private transfer service that books rides from LIM; we are not the airport or its operator. For terminals, airlines and other ways to get around, see our Jorge Chávez International Airport page.
