Where can I find a Guadalajara taxi at the airport?

To arrange your taxi service at Guadalajara Airport, you’ll first need to purchase a ticket at one of the taxi counters located in the Arrivals Hall of both Terminals 1 and 2. Staff will usually approach you as you enter the hall, but otherwise, simply look for the counter displaying “Taxi” signs. 

Once you’ve paid for your ride, head outside to the official Guadalajara Airport taxi stand, located directly in front of the exit doors. Wait times are usually minimal unless you’re traveling during the holidays when you may be standing around for up to 15 minutes. 

If you’d rather skip the queue and jump straight into a waiting car, you can pre-book your airport taxi with Welcome Pickups and be met on arrival by a friendly local driver. No need to worry about the language barrier or agreeing on a price, you can head straight to your hotel relaxed and carefree knowing everything has been taken care of.

Useful tips for getting a taxi from Guadalajara Airport

  1. Larger minivan taxis that seat up to 8 people are sometimes available from the Guadalajara airport taxi stand, however, if you’d like to guarantee that this service will be available, it is best to book in advance with Welcome Pickups.
  2. You can pay for your Guadalajara Airport taxi with a credit card at the ticket counter. Otherwise, cash is also accepted so long as you are using Mexican pesos.
  3. In general, a Guadalajara Airport taxi is a safe transfer option, although it’s always a good idea to keep your wits about you. The most likely grievance you’ll encounter is being overcharged so be sure to pay for your ride at the ticket booth.
  4. It’s not necessary to tip your taxi driver in Mexico, unless you’d like to show your appreciation for great service, for instance, if they’ve helped load and unload your luggage. Around 10% of the final bill is a good guide.
  5. In case your driver doesn’t speak English, show your address to the staff at the ticket counter so they can write it down in Spanish.
  6. A standard taxi can fit 4 passengers with light luggage, or 3 passengers with a standard suitcase each.
