Arriving at Oaxaca Airport Late at Night

Late arrivals at Oaxaca Airport need a plan, because no night service is published.

What the operator publishes

ASUR, the airport's 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.
