Jorge Chavez Airport is about 12 km from Miraflores and there is no rail connection, so every trip into the city means a car ride. Prices depend on your destination, the time of day, and which option you choose.

What affects the price
Traffic is the biggest factor. During rush hours (7–9 AM, 5–8 PM), some drivers charge more and rideshare apps apply surge pricing. The difference can be 30–50% higher than off-peak.
Vehicle size matters if you are a group. A minivan to Miraflores runs PEN 90–130 (~EUR 22–32) for a pre-booked transfer.
Late night arrivals often mean fewer Uber drivers and slightly higher fares. Pre-booked transfers keep the same price regardless of the hour.
Hidden costs to watch for
There are no tolls on the airport-to-Miraflores route. Unofficial taxi touts may quote in USD and then apply a poor exchange rate — always confirm the currency before agreeing. The Green Taxi counter inside the terminal gives you a fixed price in PEN with no surprises.
Bottom line
Budget PEN 60–90 (~EUR 15–22) for a comfortable, reliable ride to Miraflores. If you are watching every sol, Uber can save you money but adds some hassle at pickup.
