Los Cabos · airport transfers and private drivers
Compare the transportation companies we list in Los Cabos — from airport pickups to private rides and point-to-point routes.
Getting around Los Cabos
Every trip starts the same way: you land at SJD in San José del Cabo, and the ride you booked — or did not book — decides the next hour.
The airport sits roughly 20–30 minutes from San José del Cabo itself and 45–60 minutes from Cabo San Lucas, with the Tourist Corridor hotels in between. That gap is the whole reason this page exists: the transfer that makes sense for a villa in Pedregal is the wrong call for a resort in Palmilla, and neither is what you want if you are heading out to the East Cape.
The arrivals hall at SJD has a well-known crowd of timeshare sellers dressed to look like transport staff. Walking past them with a booking already made is the simplest way to skip the whole conversation — our guide, Getting from Los Cabos airport to your hotel, walks through the hall step by step. Airport taxis do exist, but they generally cost more than a transfer booked ahead and rates are not always posted: agree the price before you get in.
A shared shuttle is cheaper and stops at several hotels before yours; a private transfer goes straight there and usually makes sense from three people up. Two of the eleven companies below sell shared-shuttle seats as well — the card of each one says which. Most also cover hotel and villa transfers, day trips out to Todos Santos and La Paz, and runs to dinner when you would rather not drive.
The eleven companies are listed alphabetically. The order carries no judgement — it is not a ranking.

Per vehicle unless marked as a shared seat; taxes and gratuity as each company states. For airport taxis and Uber at SJD, with sources, see our Cabo airport transportation guide (Uber, taxis, shuttles). Practical questions below.
For the airport, yes. San José del Cabo airport has a well-known crowd of timeshare sellers posing as transport staff in the arrivals hall; arriving with a booking already made is the simplest way to walk past all of it.
Roughly 20–30 minutes to San José del Cabo, and around 45–60 minutes to Cabo San Lucas depending on traffic and where in town you are staying. The Tourist Corridor falls between the two.
A shared shuttle is cheaper but stops at several hotels before yours. A private transfer goes straight there and usually makes sense from three people up. Two of the eleven companies on this page sell shared-shuttle seats — Transcabo and Cabo Transfers, from about $18 to $34 per person. The other nine are private only and price per vehicle.
Airport taxis are available but generally cost more than a transfer booked ahead, and rates are not always posted. Agreeing the price before getting in is essential.
