San Jose del Cabo Airport Transfer: Private SUV, Cold Drinks & Hotel Drop-Off

Summary

Private SUV from SJD Airport to your San Jose del Cabo hotel

You’ll step out of SJD airport to find your private driver waiting with a sign—and cold drinks ready in the SUV. Enjoy an air-conditioned ride straight to your San Jose del Cabo hotel (like Alegranza Resort or Viceroy), with bottled water and beer included. Local tips come free if you ask. It’s a calm start that makes everything feel lighter.

What’s the experience like?

“You’ll spot your name before you even clear the sliding doors at SJD—mine was on a little whiteboard, smudged at the edges. Our driver grinned and waved, like he’d been waiting just for us. The air outside hit me: warm, kind of salty, but not heavy. We piled our bags in the back of this spotless SUV (air conditioning already humming), and I swear I could smell limes from someone’s bag nearby. He handed us cold water bottles and—unexpected bonus—a couple of icy beers tucked in with them. I’m not really a beer person after a flight, but my partner cracked his open right away and just sighed.”

The drive from SJD airport to our hotel in San Jose del Cabo was smooth—maybe 20 minutes?—but it felt shorter because we kept peppering our driver with questions about where locals eat tacos al pastor or if there’s really surf at Costa Azul this time of year. He laughed when I tried to pronounce “Zalate” like a local (definitely failed). You can tell he does this every day but somehow doesn’t seem bored by it. There’s something comforting about being picked up by someone who knows all the back roads and doesn’t blink when you ask if you can stop for an ATM.

I barely noticed the resorts flicking past until we pulled up at ours—Alegranza Resort, but I saw signs for so many others: Viceroy Los Cabos, Drift Hotel, even that bright blue one my friend stayed at last year. Everything felt easy; no awkward waiting around or jostling for taxis. And yeah, maybe it’s silly, but that first cold drink in the car is still what I remember most when I think about arriving in Baja. Sometimes it’s just those tiny things that set the mood for the whole trip.
