Getting to Guanajuato from Del Bajio Airport (BJX): A Private Transfer That Delivers Comfort and Convenience
When you’re arriving in Mexico’s charming colonial city of Guanajuato, the last thing you want is to worry about how to get from the airport to your hotel. This private transfer service, costing around $58.95 per person, offers a straightforward, hassle-free way to start your trip. With just about 30 minutes of travel time, a professional driver will meet you at the arrivals hall with your name on a sign, ready to whisk you away in a clean, air-conditioned vehicle.
We particularly appreciate the personalized service — the meet-and-greet helps eliminate the stress of navigating unfamiliar transport options late at night or after a long flight. The flight tracking feature ensures your driver is ready and waiting when your plane lands, even if your schedule shifts unexpectedly. Plus, this service can accommodate up to 8 passengers, making it ideal for groups or families.
Two aspects stand out: first, the professionalism of the driver, who is always well-dressed and attentive to luggage; second, the door-to-door convenience, saving you the hassle of finding a taxi or shared shuttle, especially after a late arrival. The only potential downside is that some might find the price slightly higher than a typical taxi, especially for the distance covered — but in our view, the peace of mind and comfort more than justify the cost for most travelers.
This transfer service fits best for visitors who value comfort, reliability, and efficiency, particularly those arriving late at night or with luggage to manage. It’s also a good fit if you’re traveling with a group and want the convenience of private transportation without the unpredictability of local taxis.
