About this transfer

Metropolitan Cathedral at the Zócalo in Mexico City

Written by the Mexico City Airport Transfers operations team — we drive these routes every day.

Pick a private Sedán for up to 4 passengers with standard luggage, and a private SUV-Van for up to 7 passengers or for groups with extra or oversized bags. Both are fully private door-to-door transfers from AICM/MEX; the SUV-Van simply adds seats and cargo space for larger parties.

The two private vehicles we run

Every Mexico City transfer we offer is private — the vehicle is yours, with no strangers and no shared stops. You choose between two vehicle types based on the size of your party and your luggage, and the price is fixed per vehicle either way.

When the Sedán is the right call

A Sedán is ideal for one to four travelers with normal suitcases — solo travelers, couples and small families. It is the lowest-priced private option from the airport and is comfortable for the drive into central Mexico City or the surrounding region.

When to size up to the SUV-Van

Choose the SUV-Van if your party is five to seven people, if you are traveling with strollers, golf bags or oversized luggage, or if you simply want more room to stretch out after a long flight. It keeps everyone in one private vehicle with space to spare.

Traveling with kids: car seats, strollers and family gear

Families flying into AICM/MEX with young children can request a private transfer with a car seat in either vehicle — the Sedán works for a couple with one or two children, and the SUV-Van gives a larger family room for multiple car seats, a stroller and full-size luggage without anything feeling cramped.

Mexico City's traffic regulation requires children to ride in the back seat, buckled in: those under 12 years old or under 1.45 m tall may not ride in the front, and children under 11 years old or under 36 kg must use a child restraint or booster seat in any private vehicle, including an airport transfer. Requesting the right seat when you book keeps your child's ride both legal and safer.

Tell us your children's ages or weights when you book so the driver brings an infant, toddler or booster seat sized correctly — there is no extra charge for the request. If you are bringing more than one car seat, or a stroller in addition to your family's suitcases, the SUV-Van's larger trunk is the more comfortable pick even if your passenger count would fit in the Sedán.

Strollers travel with you from the gate: most airlines let you check a folded stroller planeside at AICM and collect it again at the aircraft door or at baggage claim, so it is ready to fold straight into the trunk of your private vehicle. A standard folded stroller fits alongside two to three suitcases in the Sedán trunk; with a double stroller, extra bags or more than one child seat, the SUV-Van has the space to keep everything in the cabin instead of stacked on laps.
