Ground Transportation
Taxis
Official airport taxis are readily available. After clearing customs, you can purchase a pre-paid ticket from an authorized taxi kiosk inside the terminal. Fares are fixed based on zones, so you will know the cost to your destination in Loreto or the surrounding areas beforehand. This is the most common and straightforward way to get from the airport to your accommodation.
Rental Cars
Several major car rental companies have desks inside the airport's arrivals hall, including Hertz, Avis, Budget, and National. It is highly recommended to reserve a vehicle in advance, especially during peak season. Renting a car provides flexibility for exploring the region, but be aware that mandatory Mexican liability insurance is required.
Public Transportation
There is no direct public bus service or 'colectivo' (shared van) that stops at the airport terminal building. To access the local bus system, you would need to walk approximately 1 kilometer to the main highway (Mexico Highway 1), which is generally not practical for travelers with luggage. Taxis or rental cars are the primary transportation options.
