Roatan Airport & Ferry Transfer: Pickup with Driver Name Sign
Getting Off the Plane Without Renting a Car on Roatan
You get curbside pickup at Roatan airport or ferry terminal with a driver holding your name, an air-conditioned vehicle sized for your group, and no need to arrange ground transport yourself. Optional stops at pharmacies or grocery stores can be added before hotel check-in, and private shuttles around the island are available if you'd rather not rent a car.

The Experience
The driver is already holding your name on a sign before you clear baggage at Roatan International Airport. That's the whole point of booking a transfer instead of figuring out a taxi line or rental counter when you're tired and your phone has no signal yet. Detour handles the airport and ferry terminal pickups, and they'll meet you at the designated area with an air-conditioned vehicle that fits your group — whether that's a couple in an SUV, a family of six, or a larger group in a shuttle bus that seats up to 28.
The service covers both ferry terminals too, since the Galaxy Wave Ferry runs two daily charters from Roatan to La Ceiba at 7am and 2pm. If you're arriving by ferry instead of flying in, the same system applies: driver waiting, name sign visible, no guessing which van is yours. They also work with almost all vacation rental homes on the island, so you can text your exact address ahead of time and they'll confirm the pickup spot. The vehicles are air-conditioned, which matters more than it sounds when you're landing in Central American heat with luggage.
Beyond the airport and ferry run, Detour also handles private shuttle requests around the island — a drive to West End Village for diving and restaurants, a trip to a specific dinner spot, or just moving around without renting a car for your whole stay. You book the route, they arrange a licensed driver and the right-sized vehicle for what you need. The driver knows the island, so you don't spend your first afternoon lost or asking for directions. If you want to add a pharmacy or grocery stop before heading to your hotel or rental, you can request that when you book.
What’s included
