Airport Transfers
Private transfers from Tijuana Airport (TIJ) to hotels, clinics and homes in Tijuana, and down the coast to Rosarito, Ensenada and the Valle de Guadalupe.
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from General Abelardo L. Rodriguez 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 TIJ, airport transportation in Tijuana covers Zona Río and the medical district, downtown and Avenida Revolución, Playas de Tijuana and Otay, with longer rides down the Baja coast to Rosarito, Puerto Nuevo and Ensenada, and inland to the wineries of the Valle de Guadalupe.
Tijuana airport transfers start in the public arrivals hall: your driver meets you there after baggage claim, and immigration 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 one or two travelers to vans for families and groups.
Each Tijuana airport transfer goes door to door, to hotels and clinics in Zona Río, beach rentals in Rosarito, hotels in Ensenada or wineries in the Valle de Guadalupe.
Our Tijuana 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, medical-travel patients with a companion, and groups heading down to Rosarito, Ensenada or the wine country.
From private sedans to group vans. One fixed price per vehicle, whatever your party size.

General Abelardo L. Rodríguez International Airport (TIJ), known as Tijuana International Airport, sits about 5 km northeast of downtown Tijuana, right on the US border. The main terminal has two concourses, A and B, and a newer building handles cross-border arrivals, immigration and customs.
Domestic passengers collect their bags and walk into the public arrivals hall; international passengers clear immigration and customs first. The Cross Border Xpress (CBX) bridge links the airport with a terminal in San Diego.
Only licensed airport taxis and pre-booked rides can pick up at the terminal. Tijuana runs on Pacific Time, the same as San Diego, including daylight saving time.
Arriving through CBX? If you cross from San Diego on the Cross Border Xpress, tell us when you book so the pickup is set on the Tijuana side after you clear Mexican immigration.
Medical appointments. For clinics and hospitals in Zona Río, give the clinic name and your appointment time so the pickup leaves enough margin.
Coast and wine country. Rosarito, Ensenada and the Valle de Guadalupe are longer rides; enter the exact property so the right vehicle and price are shown.
Entry. International visitors need a valid passport. Pesos and US dollars are both widely used in Tijuana.
