Airport Transfers
Private transfers from Oaxaca Airport (OAX) to hotels in Oaxaca's historic center, Jalatlaco and Reforma, and across the valley to Monte Albán, Teotitlán and Mitla.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Xoxocotlán 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 OAX, airport transportation in Oaxaca covers the historic center, Jalatlaco and Reforma, the craft villages of San Bartolo Coyotepec, Teotitlán del Valle and Santa María del Tule, the ruins of Monte Albán and Mitla, and longer rides to the mezcal towns and Hierve el Agua.
Oaxaca airport transfers start in the arrivals hall at the southern end of the terminal: your driver meets you there after baggage claim, and customs on international flights, and we track your flight so a delay doesn't cost you the pickup. The price is fixed per vehicle before you fly, from sedans for couples to vans for families and groups.
Each Oaxaca airport transfer goes door to door, to boutique hotels and rentals in the historic center, haciendas in the valley or guesthouses in Teotitlán del Valle.
Our Oaxaca airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you're through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. It suits families, wedding guests and groups traveling for the Guelaguetza or Day of the Dead, when the city fills up.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Oaxaca International Airport (Xoxocotlán, OAX) sits in the southern suburb of Santa Cruz Xoxocotlán, about 12 km from the city center. All flights use one single-storey terminal; passengers walk to and from the aircraft along open-air walkways, and arrivals are at the southern end of the building.
International passengers clear immigration, collect their bags and pass customs before reaching the arrivals hall, which has taxi stands and car-rental desks.
Oaxaca sits at about 1,500 metres, so evenings are cooler than on the coast. The city runs on Central Standard Time (UTC−6) all year.
Historic center streets. Many hotels and rentals in the center and Jalatlaco are on narrow one-way streets, and some are pedestrian. Give the exact address and cross streets so the driver gets as close as possible.
Festival dates. The Guelaguetza in July and Day of the Dead around November 1 bring heavy traffic and road closures; book early and allow extra time.
Valley trips. For Teotitlán, Mitla or Hierve el Agua, give the property name and village when you book.
Entry. International visitors need a valid passport. Carry some pesos for tips and small purchases.
