What travellers ask us most about this route, answered by the people who drive it.
eTransfers local teamDriving this route since 2010 Verified by our team at PVR
What time should I book the pick-up for?
On arrival you don’t choose: we read the flight number and the driver is there when you land, however late it is. For the way back we confirm the exact time the evening before, allowing 34 min on the road plus the check-in window.
Is it worth it for two people?
The price is per vehicle, so two people pay the same $154 as four. Against two airport taxi fares it usually wins; against one, it’s about even, and you get a fixed price and a driver who waits.
We’re bringing a lot of luggage
One suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per passenger is included and nothing is charged per bag. Golf clubs, surfboards, pushchairs and wheelchairs fit — tell us when you book so we send the right vehicle, at no extra cost.
Can we stop on the way?
Yes. A stop at a supermarket or a chemist is the one almost everybody asks for, and it’s added when you book rather than agreed with the driver.

Questions about getting to Nuevo Vallarta
How long does it take to get from Puerto Vallarta Airport to Nuevo Vallarta?
About 34 min without traffic, worked out from distance and speed limits. At rush hour it can take longer; the price stays the same.
How much is a transfer from Puerto Vallarta Airport to Nuevo Vallarta?
From $154 per vehicle one way, with taxes, tolls and luggage included. It’s a price per vehicle, not per person, so a family or a group shares it. You’ll find the full list by vehicle further up this page.
Is the price per person or per vehicle?
Per vehicle. One price covers every seat in it, and child seats are free and don’t take up a paid seat. The more of you there are, the less it costs each.
Is it cheaper than a taxi?
Almost always, and more importantly you know the price in advance. Airport taxis are a concession with a fixed fare per zone, posted at the exit and not negotiable, and they usually sit well above a transfer booked ahead.
Can I use a ride-hailing app instead?
Ride-hailing apps work in the area but can’t pick up inside the airport, and at night there may be nothing available. What you’ll find at the terminal are the authorised taxis. A pre-booked transfer is the only option with the price fixed before you land.
What happens if my flight is delayed?
Nothing. We track the flight number, the driver adjusts, and the price is the same. That’s the whole reason we ask for the flight number when you book.
Can I cancel?
With the Premium fare, yes: free up to 24 hours before pick-up, no questions asked and no fee, and changes are free up to 12 hours before. The Economy fare, the cheapest one, has no free cancellation, but it includes one change if you let us know at least 24 hours ahead.
Do you take us to any hotel in Nuevo Vallarta?
Any address inside the zone, at the same price: hotel, holiday rental, private house or the ferry pier. If your hotel isn’t in the list above, type it in the search box and it will come up.
How much luggage can we bring?
One suitcase and one piece of hand luggage per passenger is included. If you’re travelling with golf clubs, a surfboard or a pushchair, tell us when you book and we’ll put you in the right vehicle at no extra cost.
Is the transfer private or shared?
Private. The vehicle is yours: no other passengers, no waiting for anyone else to land and no stops on the way unless you ask for one.
