Choosing Your Ride: Private vs. Shared Shuttles
When planning group and event transportation in Cabo, you’ll first decide between private and shared shuttle services. Both have their perks, and the best choice depends on your group’s size, budget, and priorities.
| Feature | Private Transportation | Shared Shuttles |
|---|---|---|
| Cost | Higher upfront, potentially lower per person for larger groups | Economical, $13-$40 per person each way |
| Convenience | Direct to destination, no waiting, flexible stops | Multiple stops, 15 min to 1 hour airport wait time |
| Amenities | Complimentary drinks, grocery stops, child car seats available | No special amenities (no drinks, no grocery stops, no car seats) |
| Access | Delivers inside gated communities, to your front door | Delivers to security gate of private communities only |
| Privacy | Exclusive to your group | Shared with other travelers |
| Schedule | Customized to your flight & itinerary | Fixed routes, grouped by destination |
We highly recommend private transportation for groups. It provides direct routes with no waiting for other passengers, taking you straight from the airport to your hotel, villa, or Airbnb. Private transfers include complimentary water and beer, with optional grocery stops at Fresko or Walmart. We also provide child safety seats on request and offer front-door service in private, gated communities. For more details, check out our private transportation services.
Shared shuttles are a budget-friendly option, from $13 to $40 per person each way. The trade-off is a wait at the airport (15-60 minutes) as we group passengers. These shuttles make 2-4 stops and cannot offer grocery stops, drinks, or child seats. They also only drop off at the main security gate of private communities.
Our vehicle options include SUVs (up to 6 people), cost-effective vans for up to 11, and spacious Mercedes Sprinters for 16-19 passengers. For large events, our buses seat up to 52 people, with a 45-person bus costing around $580, making it highly affordable per person. A round-trip van for 10 is about $160-$165 total. Handicap-accessible units with wheelchair lifts are also available for private transfers.
Luxury & VIP Options for Special Occasions
For destination weddings or executive retreats, we offer luxury and VIP options. We understand that some occasions call for a more polished arrival experience.
Our premium vehicles—luxury Escalades, Suburbans, and limousines—provide comfort and style. These vehicles can come with upgraded amenities like champagne service and premium sound systems. Our professional, bilingual chauffeurs provide discreet, attentive service and personalized meet-and-greets at the airport. Many clients choose these options for their destination weddings, and we work with planners to coordinate schedules between hotels and venues. For corporate trips, our VIP services set a professional tone for your event. For full event coordination, many organizers partner with destination management companies like Mexico Planners.
Smart Budgeting for Group & Event Transportation in Cabo
Organizing group transportation doesn’t have to be expensive. Booking in advance secures availability and better rates, especially during peak season. Coordinating guest schedules to arrive around the same time reduces the number of vehicles needed and lowers costs. Choosing the right vehicle size is also key. A van for 10 people at $160-$165 round-trip is cost-effective, as is a bus for 45 people at around $580. Ask us about group discounts for multiple bookings. While shared shuttles are economical, private transfers can be surprisingly affordable when costs are split.
Logistics Should Be A Smooth Experience
A dedicated transportation coordinator acts as your single point of contact, managing routes and last-minute changes. We provide complimentary flight monitoring for all bookings, adjusting for delays at no extra charge to ensure a driver is waiting. Our bilingual drivers and ability to handle complex itineraries with custom routes ensure smooth communication and travel between venues. All vehicles are fully insured, regularly maintained, and cleaned after each transfer.
For wedding shuttles, timing is critical. We coordinate multi-stop routes to pick up guests from different hotels and get them to the ceremony on time, whether it’s at Flora Farms or a beachfront resort.
For corporate events, we manage complex schedules, moving executives between resorts, conference centers, and team-building activities with professionalism and punctuality.
For family reunions, comfort and safety are priorities. We provide child safety seats in private transfers and can build a grocery stop at Costco or Fresko into your itinerary before heading to your rental villa.
We can also pick your group up from one location and drop them at another. If you’re staying in San Jose del Cabo but flying out from a hotel in Cabo San Lucas, we can create a custom route. We provide door-to-door service for Airbnbs, not just drop-offs in a general area. For more on this, see our Cabo San Lucas Airbnb transfers page.
We recommend booking in advance, but we do accept same-day reservations based on availability. For more information, visit our transportation in Cabo San Lucas page. Let us handle the logistics while you create memories with your group in beautiful Los Cabos.
