Benefits of Booking your Cusco Airport Transfer with Welcome

Cost of a Cusco Airport Taxi to the City
The local Cusco airport taxi drivers don’t use taximeters to calculate their fares. Instead, your driver will decide on the cost of your journey once you tell them your destination. The average cost for a Cusco airport shuttle ride into the city centre of Cusco is around €3 (PEN 12), however, it’s very common for drivers to start at a higher price and for you to haggle with them. There’s also a fee of €0.50 (PEN 2) for taxi drivers to use the airport taxi rank, so often, this is added to the passenger’s final fare.
