Browns Private Services is a Cabo San Lucas company that runs private airport transfers from SJD: $100 one way for a Suburban to San José del Cabo and $120 to Cabo San Lucas, with Escalade, Maxi Van, Sprinter and stretch limousine options, hourly packages and group buses.
The company was formed in 2004 as a private chef and catering business and later added transportation; it still offers butler service, villa pre-stocking and welcome packages. It publishes full rate tables: one-way airport fares for eight zones from San José to La Paz in four vehicle classes, round-trip promotional fares for the five Los Cabos zones, limousine fares by zone, hourly packages and activity transfers within Los Cabos.
Fares are per vehicle, not per person, so a group of six pays $120 one way to Cabo San Lucas in a Suburban. Every airport arrival includes bottled water and one round of beer for adults once the vehicle leaves the airport (no alcohol on rides back to the airport), drivers track flights and wait up to 40 minutes after landing, and a 30-minute grocery stop can be added for $40.
Every zone has a published fare — $100, $110, $120, $130 and $140 one way in a Suburban to San José, the Corridor, Cabo San Lucas, Pedregal and the Diamante area; $220 to Todos Santos, $305 to Los Barriles or La Ribera and $380 to La Paz; round-trip promotional fares from $165.
From Suburban to bus — Suburban (6 seats), Escalade (5), Maxi Van (10), Sprinter (16), a white stretch limousine (airport fares cover 6, room for 10) and buses for up to 45.
Rules in writing — the company's policies page spells out cancellation refunds, 24-hour changes, pickup tolerances and the advance notice it says Baja California Sur transport law requires, and the booking confirmation spells out the arrival steps.
More than transport — private chef, catering, butler, villa pre-stocking and welcome packages from the same company, which is how it began in 2004.
Families and golf groups — a Suburban for six or a Maxi Van for ten, with a grocery stop on the way to the villa.
Weddings and groups — Sprinters for 16, buses for up to 45 and a group specialist; groups of more than 40 people need a coordinator, priced on request.
Celebrations — the stretch limousine from $195 one way to San José del Cabo for up to 6 people (+$30 per extra person, up to 10), $180 per hour with a 2-hour minimum and four-hour party packages from $540.
Long distances — fixed one-way fares to Todos Santos, La Paz, Los Barriles and La Ribera in every vehicle class, requested by phone or email because they are not on the online booking site.
Hours: The company lists 24/7 phone support; changes and cancellations go by email to the office, which answers Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 3 pm (Mountain time).
Book: Online on the company's own booking site (card payment, 10 percent discount applied, 16 percent tax added), or call +1 310 209 8423 (US) or +52 624 144 3419 (Los Cabos office). For Todos Santos, La Paz, the East Cape or the Escalade, request a quote by email.
Meeting point at SJD: Umbrella 4 outside Terminal 2; the step-by-step walk is under How it works at SJD below.
Best tip: Book early and send full flight details: the company's policies ask for 3 days' notice for any service, and their notes say 4 days before arrival.

The online booking site matches the Suburban, Sprinter and limousine fares, charges $10 less for the Maxi Van, does not offer the Escalade and does not cover Todos Santos, La Paz or the East Cape; request those by email or phone. Online bookings get an automatic 10% discount through 31 December 2026 and 16% tax is added at checkout. The company's FAQ says its rates include taxes, so confirm the total when booking by phone or email.

Ranges compiled by What's In Cabo from operator and route data, September 21, 2026. Traffic, roadworks and the Cabo San Lucas bypass change real times.
Your meeting point — Terminal 2 (international); at Terminal 1, follow the group exit. After customs, walk past the timeshare sellers, exit through the sliding door on the right, cross the street past the taxis and go straight to umbrella 4. A Browns Private Services representative holds a sign with your name.
Where drivers wait at SJD — International flights arrive at Terminal 2, domestic flights at Terminal 1. At Terminal 2, after customs you cross the sales hall and exit through the sliding doors (the "Group Arrival Exit" is on the right after baggage claim) into an outdoor courtyard with a bar and a row of large numbered umbrellas/canopies; companies that use one name the umbrella or canopy in your confirmation; others wait at the exit with a sign bearing your name or the company name, so check what yours says. At Terminal 1 there is no customs; drivers or representatives wait in the public arrivals zone or at a pillar/gate in the parking lot named in the voucher. Official taxi kiosks ("Taxis / Transportación Terrestre") are outside the terminal building.
The timeshare hall — After customs at Terminal 2 you walk through a hall of desks staffed by timeshare promoters in polo shirts and badges who look like airport staff or transportation booths. They offer "free" rides, tours or maps in exchange for a resort presentation. Do not stop, answer questions or hand over paperwork: say "No, gracias" and keep walking through the final sliding doors. Pre-booked drivers are not allowed in that hall; find them outside, at the umbrella, canopy or exit point stated in your confirmation.
Uber at SJD — Uber's own SJD pages say pickup exists ("Uber helps make it easy to get from SJD Airport to your final destination") and tell riders to open the app for "directions to meet your driver outside", without naming a spot. Local reports say otherwise: the airport is a federal zone where only licensed airport taxis may load passengers, the National Guard enforces it, and Uber riders end up walking 10–15 minutes to the OXXO by the highway. Drop-off at departures is allowed by Uber and, per The Cabo Sun, works.
“Greetings mis amigos from Los Cabos”— Browns Private Services, site tagline
Cancellation — Cancel at least 48 hours before the service for an 80 percent refund; after that there is no refund. Groups: 80 percent back three weeks out, 50 percent two weeks out and nothing within six days. Cancellations must be sent by email.
Changes — Accepted only if requested at least 24 hours before the service, by email rather than by phone, and subject to vehicle availability; a change cannot be changed again. The office answers Monday to Saturday, 9 am to 3 pm. The policies also ask for 3 days' notice for any service, and their notes say 4 days before arrival.
Waiting time — Up to 40 minutes after landing, per the company.
Flight tracking — Yes — the company says it monitors arriving flights.
Child seats — Car seat $10 and booster $5 on the online booking site; the hourly-packages page lists baby seats at $5, so confirm when you book.
Grocery stop — 30-minute grocery stop, $40.
Pets — Not published; ask before booking.
Oversize luggage — No limit published; list golf clubs, boxes, car seats or a wheelchair when booking so the right vehicle is assigned.
Tipping — Not included; optional and suggested.
Payment — Card on the online booking site (10% discount applied, 16% tax added); phone or email bookings arranged with the office.
$120 one way for a Chevrolet Suburban with up to 6 passengers, $140 for an Escalade (5) or a Maxi Van (10) and $195 for a Sprinter (16), per vehicle. The round-trip promotional fare is $190 in a Suburban or Maxi Van, whichever is available. On the online booking site a 10 percent discount is applied automatically, 16 percent tax is added at checkout and the Maxi Van costs $10 less.
At umbrella 4 outside Terminal 2. The booking confirmation says to walk past the timeshare sellers after customs without stopping, exit through the sliding door on the right, cross the street past the taxis and go straight to the umbrellas, where a Browns Private Services representative holds a sign with your name and walks you to the vehicle. At Terminal 1, follow the group exit.
Not at the curb in practice: Uber's pages say airport pickup exists, but only licensed airport taxis may load passengers inside SJD, and Uber riders report walking 10 to 15 minutes to the OXXO by the highway. Uber can drop you at departures. A pre-booked transfer waits at the numbered umbrellas outside the terminal with your name on a sign, so you skip the walk and the taxi kiosks.
Up to 40 minutes after your confirmed landing time, and the company monitors flights, so the driver meets you at the new time if you land early or late. After 40 minutes with no contact, the booking is marked as a no-show and charged in full. Because airport rules keep drivers circulating outside the terminal, call the numbers on your confirmation if you cannot see the representative.
Yes, with 48 hours' notice for an 80 percent refund; cancellations inside 48 hours are not refunded. Group bookings refund 80 percent three weeks before the date, 50 percent two weeks before and nothing within six days. Changes are accepted only if requested at least 24 hours before the service, and both changes and cancellations must be sent by email to the office, which answers Monday to Saturday from 9 am to 3 pm.
Yes: $10 for a car seat and $5 for a booster on the online booking site, while the company's hourly-packages page lists baby seats at $5, so confirm the price when you book. List the seats you need, along with golf clubs or other large items, so the right vehicle is assigned before pickup.
Yes, a 30-minute grocery stop costs $40 and can be added when you book. Every airport arrival also includes bottled water and one round of beer for adults once the vehicle leaves the airport; extra beers are $4 each, and no alcohol is served on rides back to the airport.
Yes, with published one-way fares: $220 to Todos Santos, $380 to La Paz and $305 to Los Barriles or La Ribera in a Suburban, and $650 to La Paz in a Sprinter. Those destinations are not on the online booking site, which covers the Los Cabos zones, so request them by phone or email.
$195 one way from the airport to San José del Cabo for up to 6 people in the white stretch limousine, plus $30 for each extra person up to 10. It is $225 to the Corridor, $250 to Cabo San Lucas, $275 to Pedregal and Quivira, $295 to Diamante, $550 to Todos Santos and $750 to La Paz, with beer and water included. By the hour it costs $180 with a 2-hour minimum for up to 8 people ($45 per extra person), and four-hour party packages start at $540.
Online bookings are paid in full by card on the company's booking site, which applies an automatic 10 percent discount through 31 December 2026 and adds 16 percent tax at checkout; cash and partial prepayment are not offered there. The company's FAQ says its rates include taxes, so for phone and email bookings confirm whether tax is added. Tips are not included and are optional.
15 minutes after the assigned pickup time, and the booking confirmation asks you to be ready in the lobby or at the villa 10 minutes early. After those 15 minutes the company's policies charge an extra hour, while the confirmation email says the ride becomes a no-show with no refund, so be ready on time.
