The Ultimate Guide to Cabo San Lucas Transportation (And Why Private is Better)

Planning your trip to Baja? Figuring out your Cabo San Lucas transportation is just as important as booking your hotel. Whether you are landing at SJD Airport or planning a night out in downtown Cabo, how you get around determines the quality of your vacation.

At Cabo Safe Ride, we believe your vacation shouldn’t start with waiting in line for a taxi. Here is everything you need to know about getting around Los Cabos safely and in style.

The 3 Main Transportation Options in Cabo

1. Private Transportation (The Gold Standard) This is what we specialize in. Pre-booking a private SUV or Van is the preferred choice for US travelers.

• Pros: Fixed pricing (no haggling), English-speaking drivers, air-conditioned luxury vehicles, and stops for groceries upon request.

• Cons: Needs to be booked in advance.

• Verdict: Ideal for airport transfers and families.

2. Airport Taxis You will find yellow or white taxis at the airport.

• The Risk: Prices are often negotiable and can be significantly higher than pre-booked services. Zone pricing can be confusing for first-time visitors.

3. Rideshare (Uber) While available, Uber faces restrictions at SJD Airport (they cannot pick up curbside) and some hotels restrict their entry into the lobby.
