Start Your Cabo Celebration Right: Group Transport Made Simple
Los Cabos is a magnet for bachelor and bachelorette parties, and for good reason. The mix of sun-drenched beach clubs, vibrant nightlife, and desert adventures is the perfect recipe for a final fling before the ring. But getting your crew from Los Cabos International Airport (SJD) to the villa, and then to all the fun—from yacht parties at the marina to ATV tours in the outback—can be a logistical headache.
Imagine trying to coordinate multiple Ubers after a few margaritas, or realizing your shuttle won’t stop for those essential supplies. Smart groups know that pre-booking private transportation is the key to a stress-free celebration. It means having a bilingual driver waiting for you, keeping everyone together, and starting the party the moment you land. With the drinking age in Mexico being 18, your celebration can begin as soon as you clear customs, but that also means having a solid, safe plan for getting around is non-negotiable. A well-planned transport strategy transforms a good trip into an unforgettable one, letting you focus on the memories, not the logistics.
Cabo Bachelor & Bachelorette Party Transport: What Are Your Options?
When planning group travel in Los Cabos, your transportation choice depends on your group’s size, budget, and party style. Here’s a look at the main options to get your crew around.
Private Party Rides: Limousines, Vans, and Sprinters
For the ultimate bachelor or bachelorette experience, private transport is our top recommendation. It keeps your group together, whether you’re heading to Medano Beach or a club in downtown Cabo San Lucas. We offer everything from luxury Suburbans and Escalades for smaller groups to Sprinter vans and party buses that can seat up to 58 passengers.
The real perk is the amenities that set the tone for your trip. When you book a private transfer with us, every passenger gets a complimentary beer or water. You can also upgrade your beverage package with champagne, local craft beers, or your group’s favorite spirits when you book. Many luxury party buses are nightclubs on wheels, featuring high-end sound systems you can connect to, Smart TVs for custom slideshows, party lighting, and even dance poles to get the fun started early. A limousine for a night out might start around $540 for four hours, often including drinks.
Beyond the fun, private transport is practical. You can add a 30- or 60-minute grocery stop on the way from the airport to your villa—something shared shuttles don’t offer. This is perfect for stocking up on snacks, drinks, and sunscreen. We also provide direct-to-door service, even inside gated communities, and all our drivers are bilingual.

Shared Shuttles for Groups
If you’re on a tighter budget, a shared shuttle is an economical choice. A seat typically costs between $13 and $40 per person each way. However, for a party group, this option comes with significant trade-offs. Expect a wait at the airport (15-60 minutes) as the shuttle fills up, which can dampen the initial excitement. The shuttle will also make multiple stops at different resorts, extending your travel time. Crucially, shared shuttles do not allow for grocery stops, do not include complimentary drinks, and cannot enter private gated communities, dropping you at the main security gate instead. This can be a major inconvenience if your villa is a long walk from the entrance. Also, note that child safety seats are not permitted on shared shuttles. While you can sometimes book on arrival, availability is not guaranteed, and most services stop running by late afternoon, which may not work with your flight schedule.
Multi-Day and All-Inclusive Transport Packages
For a weekend packed with activities, a multi-day package simplifies everything. These packages cover all your transportation, from airport transfers to nightly bar hopping. A common package in Los Cabos might offer unlimited local trips in Cabo San Lucas for around $150 per person for a three-night stay (usually with a group minimum of eight). This gives your group the freedom to move between beach clubs, restaurants, and nightlife without the hassle of booking individual rides. These packages are flexible and can often be customized to fit your group’s specific itinerary. For more details on planning for a group, you can read about group transportation logistics.
Booking, Pricing, and Insider Tips for Your Cabo Crew
Now that you know your options, let’s get into the details of booking, budgeting, and making the most of your group transportation in Los Cabos.
How to Book and What to Budget
Booking your transport in advance is crucial. Baja California Sur law requires services to be reserved at least four days ahead of time to guarantee availability. For popular weekends, we recommend booking even earlier. The process is simple: request a quote, confirm the details, and pay a deposit to secure your vehicle. We track your flight, so if you’re delayed, your driver will be waiting.
Plans can change, which is why we offer a full refund for cancellations made up to 72 hours before your scheduled service.
Costs vary by vehicle and service type. Here’s a quick breakdown to help with your budget planning:
| Service Type | Typical Cost | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| Shared Shuttle | $13 – $40 per person, one-way | Budget-conscious small groups, airport transfers. |
| Private Van/SUV | $130 – $365 one-way from airport | Groups of 6-14, airport transfers with grocery stops. |
| Limousine | $540+ for 4 hours | Nightlife, special dinners, and making an entrance. |
| Party Bus | $600+ for 3 hours | Larger groups who want to keep the party going between venues. |
| Multi-Day Package | ~$150 per person for 3 nights | Groups who want unlimited local trips and airport transfers included. |
To make your experience even smoother, here are a few insider tips. When booking, confirm the exact vehicle you’ll be getting—ask for photos if possible. Communicate your full itinerary, including any planned stops, to get an accurate quote and avoid surprises. For airport pickups with a grocery stop, have your shopping list ready to be efficient. Finally, clarify the policy on driver gratuity; while often discretionary, some companies may have standard suggestions.
