Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

Official, authorized white airport taxis are available just outside the arrivals hall. It is highly recommended to use the official service by purchasing a pre-paid voucher at their desk inside the terminal to ensure a fixed, safe rate. Ride-sharing services like Uber are also widely available and can be a cost-effective alternative; check the app for designated pickup points.

Rental Cars

Several major international and local car rental companies have desks inside the arrivals hall, including Hertz, Avis, Budget, Alamo, and National. It is advisable to book your vehicle in advance, especially during peak season. After completing paperwork at the counter, a representative will typically guide you to the car lot to pick up your vehicle.

Public Transportation

There is no direct public bus or metro line serving the airport terminal. The most common option for travelers are pre-booked tourist shuttles, which offer shared or private transport to popular destinations like Antigua, Lake Atitlán, and various zones within Guatemala City. For local transit, public city buses ('camionetas') pass on the main boulevards near the airport, but they are not recommended for tourists with luggage due to safety and logistical challenges.
