How to get from Guadalajara to the Airport?
The options to get from Guadalajara to the Airport are as follows:
-
- MiTransporte Public Urban Buses
- Taxis
- Ride-sharing Taxis like Uber or Didi
- Private Transportation
- Viva Bus (from the new bus terminal)
- Bus: Route C98 Airport
Bus: Route C98 Airport
This route starts in the northern part of Guadalajara at the northern perimeter stop, at the intersection of Periférico and Calzada Federalismo. From there, it follows the Periférico eastward, continues along the New Periférico, and finally connects with the road to Chapala, continuing all the way to its destination at Guadalajara Airport. This route is convenient for those living in the northern part of the city or who can reach the starting point via the light rail, Mi Macro Periférico, or another bus route. Note that there are other variations of this route that do not go to the airport, such as Route C98 CU Tonalá, which heads to the university center.
Bus: Route T13 A/6 Zapote Agaves
This route starts at the Av. de la Paz stop, near the corner with Calzada Independencia. From there, it continues along Avenida R. Michel until it connects with the Chapala Highway, following this route until it reaches the airport. Starting from the city center, an area with extensive public transportation coverage, it becomes a more accessible and convenient option for many people. At the same stop where this route begins, Route T13 A/5 also starts, although the destination is the same, this route does not enter the airport. To take it, you would need to walk from the edge of the highway to the terminal.
Taxis
Guadalajara is a city with a large fleet of taxis, making them a good option for getting to the airport. All taxis are equipped with a taximeter, and the current rates are divided into daytime (06:00 to 22:00) and nighttime (22:01 to 05:59) fares. The daytime starting fare is 8.50 pesos, with an additional charge of 6.45 pesos per kilometer, and 136.65 pesos per hour. The nighttime fare starts at 9.68 pesos, with a cost of 7.11 pesos per kilometer and 171.10 pesos per hour. However, you should know that these rates have not been updated in recent years, and many drivers refuse to use the taximeter, so it’s always a good idea to negotiate the price before getting in.
Ride Sharing App Vehicles
Services like Uber and Didi are available for your transfers to Guadalajara Airport from anywhere in the city with no restrictions. While the price will depend on the demand at the time of your trip, in general, Didi offers more affordable rates.
Station Taxi
Station taxis offer a more convenient option compared to regular taxis, as they can be requested from your home, which is especially useful when traveling with luggage. They can also be hired directly at their stands, located in hotels, shopping malls, hospitals, or busy areas. However, their fares are usually higher due to the additional charge for the station service.

Private Transport Companies
Private transport companies to the airport provide an executive service, generally with higher-category cars and/or vehicles for larger groups of passengers. This is a convenient option when traveling with family or in a group, as everyone can travel together in the same vehicle. The service must be scheduled in advance so that the driver can be at the designated location or hotel at the required time. Although anyone can hire the service, it is called private transport because the vehicle is not shared with other people outside your group, similar to a taxi. There are several companies providing private transport to Guadalajara Airport, and we recommend requesting multiple quotes and reviewing the companies’ reviews that you are considering.
Viva Bus
For those starting their journey from outside Guadalajara and arriving in the city by bus, there is a convenient transportation option that connects them from the Nueva Central de Autobuses to the airport at a competitive price: VivaBus. Tickets for this service can be purchased as an additional product during the online booking process for your flight or directly at the La Línea and ETN ticket counters. This service is only available for Viva Aerobus passengers, and before boarding the VivaBus, you must present your boarding pass to the operator.
