# Oaxaca Airport Transfer Guide (OAX) How to get from Oaxaca Airport to the city and nearby towns: taxis and car rental listed by the operator, plus pre-booked transfers. **Airport:** OAX **City:** Oaxaca **Country:** Mexico **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/oax **Last updated:** 2026-10-27 Prices and transport schedules in this editorial guide are indicative. Confirm current public transport fares with the operator. Current transfer prices, availability and terms are shown in the live booking flow. ## Main Guide ### Quick answer Xoxocotlan International Airport (OAX) serves Oaxaca. It is outside the city centre: our route database puts Santa Cruz Xoxocotlan about 3 km away, Santa Lucia del Camino about 8 km and Oaxaca de Juarez about 11 km. These are road estimates, not live figures. The airport's operator, ASUR, lists taxis and car rental in its land transport section and nothing else, so there is no train, bus or shuttle service that the operator describes. A pre-booked private transfer is the other way to reach your hotel, and the live price to Oaxaca de Juarez is from EUR 70. If you land tired or with luggage, decide before you fly whether you want a ride confirmed on your terms or a taxi found on arrival. ### What actually happens after landing After landing you go through immigration if you arrive on an international flight, then baggage claim and the arrivals area. ASUR's pages for the airport are the place to check flight information on the day. We did not find an official description of the arrivals hall, its taxi desk or its pick-up area, so this guide does not describe them. The operator says its taxi service is located in the ambulatory area, which means the taxis work on the airport grounds. Allow time for baggage before you assume a fixed pick-up time, and tell your transfer provider if your flight changes. ### Transport options explained honestly **Taxis:** ASUR's land transport page lists taxis, with the service in the ambulatory area of the airport. It gives telephone numbers for the taxi service. It does not publish a fare table, a zone map or a list of companies, so we do not quote a taxi price. **Car rental:** The operator's land transport page also lists car rental. Compare the terms of the rental companies before you book, and think twice about collecting a car straight after a long flight. **Pre-booked private transfer:** A pre-booked transfer goes to your accommodation at a price confirmed when you book. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver meets you as stated in your booking confirmation. It suits groups, families and anyone who wants the price settled before they fly. **Buses, trains and shuttles:** The operator does not list any, so none are described here. **Ride-hailing apps:** Availability can vary, so do not rely on an app as your only plan. ### Realistic pricing expectations The operator publishes no taxi tariff, so no taxi price appears here. Ask any taxi service how the fare is set, whether it is per vehicle or per person and what it includes, and agree the total before you get in. For comparison, our live price for a pre-booked transfer to Oaxaca de Juarez is from EUR 70, and to Santa Cruz Xoxocotlan it is from EUR 65. Prices depend on the destination and the vehicle, so use the quote tool on this page for your exact route. ### Late night arrivals We found no statement from the operator about taxi hours or night service, so this guide does not say that a taxi will be available at any hour. If your flight lands late, or is delayed into the night, do not assume a taxi will be waiting. The plan that does not depend on a taxi desk is a pre-booked transfer confirmed before you fly. Give your flight number and your address at booking, and check your booking confirmation for how delays are handled. ### Families and luggage The operator publishes no family or luggage information for the airport, and we found no official statement on child seats in airport taxis, so none is given. If you need a child seat, request it when you book a transfer, give the child's age and weight and confirm it in your booking confirmation. Do not assume a taxi will have one. With several bags or a stroller, tell your provider the group size and luggage count at booking so that the vehicle is large enough. ### Where you meet the driver For a pre-booked transfer the meeting point and driver details are in your booking confirmation. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, follow the instructions there. For a taxi, the operator places the service in the ambulatory area of the airport; ask airport staff if you cannot find it. Keep your booking confirmation and the driver's contact details open on your phone while you walk out. ### Decision helper **Use a taxi if:** you travel light, arrive in daylight and are comfortable agreeing the price before you go. **Book a private transfer if:** you have a group, children or heavy luggage, arrive late at night, or want the arrangement and the price confirmed before you fly. **Hire a car if:** you plan to explore the valleys by yourself. Check the rental terms first. **Do not rely on an app if:** it is your only plan. ## Summary Oaxaca airport is a short drive from the city, with taxis and car rental listed by the operator and pre-booked transfers on offer. Decide before you fly, especially if you land at night, and agree the price before you travel. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - ASUR, Oaxaca airport page (operator home page for the airport): https://www.asur.com.mx/Contenido/Oaxaca - ASUR, Oaxaca airport land transport (lists taxis and car rental only): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre - ASUR, Oaxaca airport taxis (taxi service located in the ambulatory area): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre/taxis - Approximate distances to the municipalities listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Frequently Asked Questions **Q: How do I get from Oaxaca airport to the city?** The operator lists taxis and car rental in its land transport section.

It places the taxi service in the ambulatory area of the airport and gives telephone numbers, but it states no opening hours and no fare table. ## What is not published We did not find a statement about taxi availability at night, or about buses or shuttles at any hour. For that reason this guide does not say that any ride is available after dark. If your flight lands late or is delayed, do not assume a taxi will be waiting. ## The drive Our route database estimates about 3 km to Santa Cruz Xoxocotlan, about 8 km to Santa Lucia del Camino and about 11 km to Oaxaca de Juarez. These are estimates, not live figures. Tell your accommodation your flight number and expected arrival so that someone can check you in late. ## Pre-booked transfers A pre-booked transfer is arranged before you fly. Give your flight number and address at booking, and check your booking confirmation for where to meet and how delays are handled. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver meets you as stated there. The live price to Oaxaca de Juarez is from EUR 70. This plan does not depend on the hours of a taxi desk. ## At the airport Stay inside the terminal while you arrange a ride, and ask airport staff for help before you walk out alone with your luggage. A short delay to confirm a safe arrangement is better than a rushed choice at the kerb. ## The bottom line At night, choose the arrangement you confirmed in advance over one you hope will be available. Keep your phone charged and your address saved, and write down the name of the company and driver you have booked. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - ASUR, Oaxaca airport page (operator home page for the airport): https://www.asur.com.mx/Contenido/Oaxaca - ASUR, Oaxaca airport land transport (lists taxis and car rental only): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre - ASUR, Oaxaca airport taxis (taxi service located in the ambulatory area): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre/taxis - Approximate distances to the municipalities listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Oaxaca Airport: Taxi or Pre-booked Transfer **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/oax/taxi-vs-transfer Both options take you to your accommodation. The difference is how much you know before you travel. ## Taxis ASUR, the airport's operator, lists taxis in its land transport section and says the service is located in the ambulatory area of the airport. It publishes no fare table, no hours and no list of companies. So you should ask how the price is set, whether it is per vehicle or per person and what it covers, and agree the total before you go. Our route database estimates about 11 km to Oaxaca de Juarez and about 18 km to San Pablo Etla, so the price may differ a lot between destinations. ## Pre-booked private transfer A pre-booked transfer is arranged before you fly. The live price to Oaxaca de Juarez is from EUR 70, and it is confirmed at booking. Check your booking confirmation for the meeting point and for how flight delays are handled. If meet-and-greet is included in your booking, the driver meets you as stated there. ## How to choose **Choose a taxi if:** you travel light, arrive in daylight and are comfortable agreeing a price in advance. **Choose a pre-booked transfer if:** you want the arrangement settled before you fly, you arrive late, you travel with children or many bags, you are a group, or you are going to a smaller town such as Tlalixtac de Cabrera or San Andres Huayapam. Request a child seat at booking and give the child's age and weight, because no official statement on child seats in airport taxis was found. ## Car rental The operator also lists car rental. It is a choice for those who plan to explore by themselves; check the terms before you book. ## A note on checking Before you leave the terminal with any driver, confirm that the person works for the company you booked or for the taxi service the operator describes. If something does not match what you agreed, say so before the trip starts, not after it. Keep your booking confirmation open on your phone while you do. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - ASUR, Oaxaca airport page (operator home page for the airport): https://www.asur.com.mx/Contenido/Oaxaca - ASUR, Oaxaca airport land transport (lists taxis and car rental only): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre - ASUR, Oaxaca airport taxis (taxi service located in the ambulatory area): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre/taxis - Approximate distances to the municipalities listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Oaxaca Airport with Children and Family **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/oax/family-and-kids The ride from Oaxaca Airport to the city is short, but it comes at the end of a tiring journey. Our route database estimates about 3 km to Santa Cruz Xoxocotlan, about 8 km to Santa Lucia del Camino and about 11 km to Oaxaca de Juarez. These are estimates, not live figures. ## At the airport The operator publishes no family information for the airport: we found nothing official about baby rooms, play areas or stroller rules, so none are described here. Check ASUR's airport pages on the day. ## Getting to your accommodation with children **Taxis:** ASUR lists a taxi service in the ambulatory area. No fare table is published, so agree how the price is set, and the total, before you set off. **Pre-booked transfer:** the vehicle goes to your door. You can ask for a larger vehicle for strollers and luggage. The live price to Oaxaca de Juarez is from EUR 70. Check your booking confirmation for the meeting point. ## Child seats No official statement on child seat rules or availability in airport taxis was found. If you need a seat, request it when you book a transfer and give the child's age and weight, then confirm it in your booking confirmation. Do not assume a taxi will have one. ## Practical points Carry water, snacks and any medicine in your hand luggage. Keep passports and your accommodation address within reach. If one adult can stay with the bags while the other finds the driver, arrivals go more smoothly. Tell your transfer provider the group size and luggage count so that people, strollers and bags all fit. ## The bottom line With young children, a ride that goes straight to your accommodation is usually the calmer way to end a long journey. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - ASUR, Oaxaca airport page (operator home page for the airport): https://www.asur.com.mx/Contenido/Oaxaca - ASUR, Oaxaca airport land transport (lists taxis and car rental only): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre - ASUR, Oaxaca airport taxis (taxi service located in the ambulatory area): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre/taxis - Approximate distances to the municipalities listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Cost from Oaxaca Airport to the City **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/oax/cost-to-city This page gives the figures that are published and says plainly where none exist. ## Taxis ASUR, the airport's operator, lists taxis in its land transport section. It publishes no fare table, so no taxi price is given here. Ask the taxi service how the price is set, whether it is per vehicle or per person, and whether bags or extra stops change it. Agree the total before you travel. ## Pre-booked private transfer The live price to Oaxaca de Juarez is from EUR 70 and to Santa Cruz Xoxocotlan it is from EUR 65. Our route database lists distances of about 3 km to Santa Cruz Xoxocotlan, about 4 km to San Antonio de la Cal, about 8 km to Santa Lucia del Camino, about 11 km to Oaxaca de Juarez, about 15 km to San Andres Huayapam and about 18 km to San Pablo Etla. Price depends on destination and vehicle, so use the quote tool rather than guessing. ## Car rental The operator's land transport page lists car rental. We give no figures, because the rates belong to the rental companies and can change. Check their terms if you plan to drive. ## What to add up Compare the total for your whole group and your luggage, and the time, not only the fare for one person. If you pay in a foreign currency, exchange rates and card fees apply, so ask your bank before you travel. ## The bottom line There is no published taxi tariff, so agree the price before you get in. A pre-booked transfer has its price confirmed in advance. Keep your booking confirmation or the agreed price on your phone. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - ASUR, Oaxaca airport page (operator home page for the airport): https://www.asur.com.mx/Contenido/Oaxaca - ASUR, Oaxaca airport land transport (lists taxis and car rental only): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre - ASUR, Oaxaca airport taxis (taxi service located in the ambulatory area): https://www.asur.com.mx/contenido/oaxaca/transporte-terrestre/taxis - Approximate distances to the municipalities listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Published Guide Pages - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/oax - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/oax/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/oax/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/oax/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/oax/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=OAX Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
