Airport Transportation in Colima

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Licenciado Miguel de la Madrid International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.

After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.

From CLQ, airport transportation in Colima covers downtown Colima and its hotels, Villa de Álvarez, the Pueblo Mágico of Comala and the villages at the foot of the Colima volcano, with longer rides down to Manzanillo on the coast.

Colima Airport Transfers

Colima airport transfers start in the small arrivals hall: your driver meets you there after baggage claim, and we track your flight so a delay doesn't cost you the pickup. The price is fixed per vehicle before you fly, from sedans for one or two travelers to vans for families and groups.

Each Colima airport transfer goes door to door, to hotels in the center, family homes in Villa de Álvarez or boutique stays in Comala.

Colima Airport Shuttle

Our Colima airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you're through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There's room for suitcases and gifts, which suits families arriving from Tijuana and groups visiting the volcano towns.

Landing at Colima Airport

Licenciado Miguel de la Madrid International Airport (CLQ), known as Colima International Airport, sits in the municipality of Cuauhtémoc, about 21 km northeast of Colima city. All flights use one small, single-storey terminal; passengers walk across the apron, collect their bags and come out into the arrivals hall.

Scheduled flights come from Tijuana and Mexico City, so arrivals don't go through immigration.

Colima runs on Central Standard Time (UTC−6) all year.
