How does airport pickup work at SJD?

With a private transfer, your driver waits for you in the arrivals area with a name sign — no need to search for a taxi line or negotiate a fare. See <a href="/private-airport-transfer-cabo-san-lucas">how our private transfer service works</a>.

Where do I meet my driver after landing?

After baggage claim and customs, head to the arrivals area outside the terminal — that's where your driver will be waiting with a sign.

What happens if my flight is delayed?

Flight delays are common, which is why it's worth booking with free cancellation so you're not locked into a fixed pickup time if your plans change.
