Quito Airport Private Transfer: SUV or Van for 1–7

Skip the taxi queue and arrive at your hotel with luggage already handled

A private transfer from Quito Airport (UIO) to Quito hotels or Airbnbs with a professional bilingual driver who meets you at arrivals holding a sign with your name. Your flight is monitored in advance, and you get 60 minutes of free waiting time after you land. Vehicles are clean, insured, and air-conditioned. Luggage assistance is included. Choose an SUV for up to three passengers or a van for groups of four to seven. Travel time to city hotels runs 40 to 60 minutes depending on traffic and location.

The experience

The driver meets you in the arrivals hall rather than sending you to hunt for a taxi stand or negotiate with unmarked cars. TourExpress monitors your flight so the pickup is timed to your actual landing, not a guessed arrival time, and you have a full hour to clear customs and collect bags without the meter running. The vehicle is waiting, not something you're arranging from the curb.

All drivers speak Spanish and English, so communication is straightforward if you need to change the hotel address or ask about neighborhoods on the way in. The van and SUV options let you match the vehicle to your group size: a couple or solo traveler books the SUV, while families or small groups of four to seven fit the van without paying for empty seats. Bottled water is in the vehicle, and the air conditioning runs the whole drive. If you're heading beyond Quito to Otavalo, Cotacachi, Mindo or elsewhere, the operator arranges that too, though it costs extra and needs advance notice.

The 40-to-60-minute drive into the city gives you time to adjust to the altitude and the rhythm of Quito traffic. Luggage goes in the vehicle, not on your lap, and you arrive at your door rather than at a central depot.

Top questions

How does the driver know when I've landed?

TourExpress monitors your flight in real time, so the driver is timed to your actual arrival rather than a scheduled one. You'll see your driver holding a sign with your name in the arrivals hall.

What if my flight is delayed or I'm slow getting through customs?

You have 60 minutes of free waiting time after you land, so delays don't trigger extra charges. The driver waits in the vehicle or the terminal as needed.

Can I book a transfer to somewhere other than Quito?

Yes, transfers to Otavalo, Cotacachi, Mindo and other destinations are available, but they require advance notice and cost more than the Quito airport-to-city route. Contact the operator directly to arrange and price it.

Do I need to arrange anything before I arrive, or does the driver just show up?

You book the transfer in advance and provide your flight number and hotel address. The driver handles the rest: monitoring your flight, meeting you at arrivals, and getting you to your door. You can also reach the operator on WhatsApp 24/7 if your plans change.

What's the difference between the SUV and the van options?

The SUV fits one to three passengers comfortably. The van accommodates four to seven. Both are private, air-conditioned, and driven by professional bilingual drivers. Pick the size that matches your group so you're not paying for empty seats.
