Ground Transportation

Last updated: Jul 20, 2025
Taxis

The airport uses an official, pre-paid taxi system. Passengers must purchase a ticket from an authorized kiosk inside the arrivals hall after clearing customs. Fares are fixed based on a zone system, so your destination determines the price. Present your ticket to the driver at the taxi stand outside the terminal. Ride-sharing services like Uber and DiDi also operate, but their pickup locations may be at designated points slightly away from the main arrivals curb.

Rental Cars

Major international and local car rental agencies, including Hertz, Avis, Sixt, National, and Europcar, have service desks located within the terminal's arrivals area. It is advisable to book a vehicle in advance for better pricing and availability. After completing paperwork at the desk, a shuttle bus will typically transport you to a nearby lot to collect your vehicle.

Public Transportation

The most direct public transit option is the VIVAEROBUS shuttle bus, which connects the airport directly with the main bus terminal in Guadalajara (Central Nueva). This is an economical option suitable for travelers with luggage. Additionally, local public buses stop on the main highway just outside the airport grounds, offering a very cheap but less convenient alternative, not recommended if you have a lot of baggage.

Excellent Airport BUT Posted by rstan on August 4, 2013

The security system is a pain the butt.
You can not go through security with passengers unless you have a stamped flight plan and it is a LONG walk for the security gate the the COmandante's office.
Good restaurant and helpful avionics and maintenance people on the field.
Reasonable landing fees and parking.
Easy access to fuel but some personel have an attitude and are always on Mexican Time.
Nice golf course nearby !!
