Guatemala City Airport Transfer Guide - All Options & Prices

# Airport Transfer Options in Guatemala City Based on current available data, there are no verified public transportation options (train, bus, or official taxi services) operating from Guatemala City's La Aurora International Airport. However, this doesn't mean transfers aren't available – it indicates that travelers should explore alternative arrangements. Private shuttle services, hotel transfers, and ride-sharing apps may operate in the area, though specific details aren't available in our current data. For the most up-to-date transfer options and current pricing, we recommend checking the booking widgets below or contacting your accommodation directly, as many hotels in Guatemala City offer airport pickup services. The journey from La Aurora International Airport to central Guatemala City typically takes 20-40 minutes depending on traffic conditions and your final destination within the city. Given the limited verified public transport data, arranging your transfer in advance is advisable, especially if arriving during evening hours or with significant luggage. Check current availability and rates through the booking tools provided to find the option that best suits your budget and comfort preferences.

Download Uber or InDrive apps before arrival as they're widely used for safe, reliable transportation in Guatemala City

Transmetro bus rapid transit requires a prepaid card - purchase at station kiosks before boarding

Avoid red city buses (chicken buses) if unfamiliar with routes, as they lack clear signage and follow complex paths

Airport taxis should be arranged at official counters inside the terminal for safety - avoid unmarked vehicles outside

Unofficial Taxi Scams: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside the terminal offering rides at inflated prices or take longer routes. Avoid by using only official taxi stands outside the arrivals area, pre-booking through your hotel, or using the ride-hailing apps available in the booking widgets on this site for transparent pricing.

Currency Exchange Scams: Airport exchange counters and individuals offering to exchange money may provide poor rates or use sleight of hand to shortchange you. Avoid by using ATMs inside the secure airport area, exchanging only small amounts for immediate needs, or waiting until you reach the city where rates are typically better.

Fake Official Helpers: People wearing unofficial vests or badges may offer to 'help' with luggage, directions, or transportation, then demand excessive payment. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help, only accepting assistance from uniformed airport staff at official information desks, and keeping your luggage with you at all times.
