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.
