Airport Transfers
Private transfers from Tepic Airport (TPQ) to hotels and homes in Tepic and across Nayarit, including San Blas and the Santa María del Oro lagoon.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Amado Nervo 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 TPQ, airport transportation in Tepic covers downtown and the hotels along Avenida Insurgentes, the residential areas around the city, and longer rides to the Santa María del Oro crater lagoon, the colonial port of San Blas and the beaches of the Nayarit coast.
Tepic airport transfers start as you leave the arrivals area: your driver meets you there after baggage claim, and customs on flights from Los Angeles, Houston or Calgary, 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 one or two travelers to vans for families and groups.
Each Tepic airport transfer goes door to door, to hotels in the city center, family homes across Tepic, or guesthouses in San Blas and around the lagoon.
Our Tepic 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. There's room for suitcases and gifts, which suits families visiting relatives in Nayarit and groups heading out to the coast.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

Amado Nervo International Airport (TPQ), known as Tepic International Airport, has one small passenger terminal used for every domestic and international flight. Arriving passengers collect their bags and, on flights from the United States or Canada, clear immigration and customs before walking out of the arrivals area.
The airport operates from 6:00 to 21:00, so every scheduled flight lands within those hours.
Tepic runs on Mountain Standard Time (UTC−7) all year, one hour behind Mexico City and one hour behind Puerto Vallarta, so set pickup times in local Tepic time.
Watch the time zone. Tepic is one hour behind Puerto Vallarta and Nuevo Vallarta, even though both are in Nayarit. Give pickup times in Tepic time.
Give the full address. Many homes in Tepic sit in residential colonias away from the center; add the colonia name and any landmark so the driver finds the door.
Coast and lagoon trips. San Blas, the Santa María del Oro lagoon and the beaches farther along the coast are longer rides; enter the exact property so the right vehicle and price are shown.
Entry. International visitors need a valid passport. Carry some pesos for tips and small purchases.
