You’ll get picked up right at arrivals by a local driver who knows Guayaquil inside out. No stress about taxis or language barriers—just a smooth ride straight to your hotel, with help for families or anyone needing extra support.
Stepping out of José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport, I spotted my name on a sign—always a relief after a long flight. The air felt thick and warm, that humid Guayaquil welcome. Our driver, Andrés, greeted us with a quick smile and helped with the bags before leading us to a clean sedan waiting just outside the arrivals area. He chatted in Spanish but switched to English when he noticed my rusty accent, asking about our trip and sharing tips about the city’s neighborhoods.
The drive into town took about half an hour—though if you land during rush hour (around 5pm), expect it to stretch closer to 45 minutes. We passed clusters of street vendors selling chilled coconut water near Avenida de las Américas; you’ll catch the faint scent of grilled corn drifting through the open window if you’re lucky with traffic lights. Most hotels are close to the Malecón or Urdesa, but if you’re staying further out, let them know ahead so they can sort out the right fare and timing.
Your driver will be waiting at arrivals holding a sign with your name or group name. It’s easy to spot them just past customs.
No problem—just give the address in advance so we can confirm rates and arrange pickup without delay.
