Private vs. Shared: Best Cabo Airport Transportation for Your Trip
Private transfer, shared shuttle, or rental car? Compare the three ways to get from Cabo San Lucas airport (SJD) to your hotel.
Private vs. Shared vs. Rental Car: Best Cabo Airport Transportation
There are three main ways to get from SJD to your hotel: a private transfer, a shared shuttle, or a rental car. Which one is "best" depends on your group size, your budget, and how much control you want over timing.
Private Transfer
Direct, with no other-hotel stops along the way, and meet & greet included at arrivals. Best for groups, families, and late-night arrivals. See our private transfer service.
Shared Shuttle
A lower per-person cost, but the vehicle makes stops at multiple hotels along the way. Best for solo or budget-conscious travelers who are comfortable with a longer ride.
Rental Car
Gives you the freedom to explore on your own schedule, but adds the cost of insurance, gas, and parking, plus driving unfamiliar roads — often at night after a flight. Better suited to longer stays where having a car for the whole trip makes sense.
