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 Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) serves Tijuana. The airport's operator, GAP, publishes a ground transportation list with seven bus companies and five taxi or ground transfer services. Our route database puts the municipality of Tijuana about 21 km away, Playas de Rosarito about 33 km, Tecate about 67 km and Ensenada about 142 km. These are road estimates, not live figures. A pre-booked private transfer is the door-to-door option, and the live price to Tijuana is from EUR 76. The operator's menu also lists Cross Border Xpress, the pedestrian bridge terminal to the United States. We did not read its page, so this guide gives no details about it; check the operator's site if you plan to cross. ### 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. We did not find an official description of the arrivals hall or of where each listed service has its desk, so this guide does not describe them. The operator's list shows where each service operates: the bus companies are listed at the central bus station or a bus station, and the taxi and ground transfer services as ambulatory, which means they 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 **Buses:** GAP lists seven bus companies in its ground transportation list. Their listed hours differ: from 05:00 to 23:59 at the widest, others from 06:00 to 02:00, 07:00 to 01:00, 07:00 to 23:00, 10:30 to 02:30, 17:00 to 01:00 and 06:00 to 18:00. The list gives a telephone number for each, but no fares and no stated destinations, so check each company before you plan around it. **Taxis and ground transfers:** Five services are listed as ambulatory, meaning they work on the airport grounds, and all five are listed with 24-hour service. The operator publishes no fare table. **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. **Ride-hailing apps:** Availability can vary, so do not rely on an app as your only plan. ### Realistic pricing expectations The operator publishes no fares for buses, taxis or ground transfers, so no such price is given here. Ask each service how the fare is set, whether it is per vehicle or per person and what it covers, and agree the total before you travel. For comparison, our live price for a pre-booked transfer to Tijuana is from EUR 76, and to Playas de Rosarito it is from EUR 84. Prices depend on the destination and the vehicle, so use the quote tool on this page for your exact route. ### Late night arrivals GAP lists five taxi and ground transfer services with 24-hour service, so a ride is listed at any hour. Most of the seven bus companies are listed with hours that end between 23:00 and 02:30, and one is listed only from 17:00 to 01:00, so a late arrival may miss the bus you planned for. Check each company's hours against your landing time. If your flight lands late or is delayed, the safest plan is a pre-booked transfer that you confirmed before you flew. Give your flight number and address at booking, and check your booking confirmation for how delays are handled. ### Families and luggage We found no official family or luggage information for the airport, and 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 or ground transfer, the operator lists the services as ambulatory; ask airport staff if you cannot find the desk. For a bus, the operator lists a bus station as the location, so confirm with the company where its stop is. Keep your booking confirmation and the driver's contact details open on your phone while you walk out. ### Decision helper **Use a bus if:** you want the lowest cost and your arrival falls inside the company's listed hours. Confirm the fare and the stop before you rely on it. **Use a listed taxi or ground transfer if:** you travel light 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, are going to Rosarito, Tecate or Ensenada, or want the arrangement and the price confirmed before you fly. **Do not rely on an app if:** it is your only plan. ## Summary Tijuana airport has bus companies and 24-hour taxi and ground transfer services listed by the operator, plus pre-booked transfers. Decide before you fly, check bus hours against your landing time, and agree the price before you travel. ## Sources (checked 2026-10-27) - GAP, Tijuana airport ground transportation list (bus companies, taxi and ground transfer services, hours): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3/servicios/transportacion-terrestre.html - GAP, Tijuana airport home page (services menu, Cross Border Xpress entry): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3.html - 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 Tijuana airport to the city?** GAP's ground transportation list shows bus companies, and taxi and ground transfer services.

It also lists seven bus companies with different hours: one from 05:00 to 23:59, others from 06:00 to 02:00, 07:00 to 01:00, 07:00 to 23:00, 10:30 to 02:30, 17:00 to 01:00 and 06:00 to 18:00. No fares are published. ## What is not published The list does not say which destinations each bus serves, and it states no fares. We did not find a statement about how many taxis wait at night. So check each company's hours against your landing time and do not assume that a bus runs when it is not listed. ## The drive Our route database estimates about 21 km to the municipality of Tijuana and about 33 km to Playas de Rosarito. 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 Tijuana is from EUR 76. This plan does not depend on the hours of any 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) - GAP, Tijuana airport ground transportation list (bus companies, taxi and ground transfer services, hours): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3/servicios/transportacion-terrestre.html - GAP, Tijuana airport home page (services menu, Cross Border Xpress entry): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3.html - Approximate distances to the municipalities listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Tijuana Airport: Taxi or Pre-booked Transfer **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/tij/taxi-vs-transfer Both options take you to your accommodation. The difference is how much you know before you travel. ## Listed taxis and ground transfers GAP, the airport's operator, lists five taxi and ground transfer services, each with 24-hour service, and describes them as ambulatory, meaning they work on the airport grounds. It publishes no fare table. 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 21 km to Tijuana, about 33 km to Playas de Rosarito and about 142 km to Ensenada, 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 Tijuana is from EUR 76, 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 listed taxi if:** you travel light 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 Rosarito, Tecate or Ensenada. 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. ## Buses The operator also lists seven bus companies. They can be cheaper, but the list gives no fares or destinations, so confirm both with the company before you rely on one. ## A note on checking Before you leave the terminal with any driver, confirm that the person works for the company you booked or for one of the services the operator lists. 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) - GAP, Tijuana airport ground transportation list (bus companies, taxi and ground transfer services, hours): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3/servicios/transportacion-terrestre.html - GAP, Tijuana airport home page (services menu, Cross Border Xpress entry): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3.html - Approximate distances to the municipalities listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Tijuana Airport with Children and Family **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/tij/family-and-kids The ride from Tijuana Airport to Tijuana is not long, but it comes at the end of a tiring journey. Our route database estimates about 21 km to the municipality of Tijuana and about 33 km to Playas de Rosarito. These are estimates, not live figures. ## At the airport The operator's pages that we read publish no family information: nothing official about baby rooms, play areas or stroller rules, so none are described here. Check GAP's airport pages on the day. ## Getting to your accommodation with children **Taxis and ground transfers:** GAP lists five services with 24-hour service. 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 Tijuana is from EUR 76. 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) - GAP, Tijuana airport ground transportation list (bus companies, taxi and ground transfer services, hours): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3/servicios/transportacion-terrestre.html - GAP, Tijuana airport home page (services menu, Cross Border Xpress entry): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3.html - Approximate distances to the municipalities listed (route estimates, not measured live): AirportTransferPortal route database, checked 2026-10-27 ## Cost from Tijuana Airport to the City **URL:** https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/tij/cost-to-city This page gives the figures that are published and says plainly where none exist. ## Buses, taxis and ground transfers GAP, the airport's operator, lists seven bus companies and five taxi and ground transfer services in its ground transportation list. It publishes no fares, so no price for any of them is given here. Ask each 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 Tijuana is from EUR 76 and to Playas de Rosarito it is from EUR 84. Our route database lists distances of about 21 km to the municipality of Tijuana, about 33 km to Playas de Rosarito, about 67 km to Tecate, about 142 km to Ensenada and about 422 km to San Quintin. Price depends on destination and vehicle, so use the quote tool rather than guessing. ## 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 are going to Ensenada or beyond, the ride is long, and a pre-booked quote is easier to compare than a price agreed at the kerb. If you pay in a foreign currency, exchange rates and card fees apply, so ask your bank before you travel. ## The bottom line There are no published fares for the listed services, 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) - GAP, Tijuana airport ground transportation list (bus companies, taxi and ground transfer services, hours): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3/servicios/transportacion-terrestre.html - GAP, Tijuana airport home page (services menu, Cross Border Xpress entry): https://www.aeropuertosgap.com.mx/en/tijuana-3.html - 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/tij - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/tij/late-night - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/tij/taxi-vs-transfer - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/tij/family-and-kids - https://www.airporttransferportal.com/airport-guides/tij/cost-to-city ## Booking and Support Search: https://www.airporttransferportal.com/search?airport=TIJ Airport Transfer Portal is a marketplace; local operators fulfil the transfer.
