Airport Transportation in Zacatecas

Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from General Leobardo C. Ruiz 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 ZCL, airport transportation in Zacatecas covers the hotels of the UNESCO-listed historic center, the neighboring city of Guadalupe, Calera and Fresnillo, with longer rides to the Pueblo Mágico of Jerez de García Salinas.

Zacatecas Airport Transfers

Zacatecas airport transfers start as you leave the arrivals area: your driver meets you there after baggage claim, and customs on flights from Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas/Fort Worth or San Jose, 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 couples to vans for families and groups.

Each Zacatecas airport transfer goes door to door, to hotels near the cathedral, family homes in Guadalupe or guesthouses in Jerez.

Zacatecas Airport Shuttle

Our Zacatecas 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 luggage and gifts, which suits families coming home from the United States and groups visiting for festivals.

Landing at Zacatecas Airport

General Leobardo C. Ruiz International Airport (ZCL), known as Zacatecas International Airport, sits in Calera de Víctor Rosales, about 17 km north of the city center. All flights use one passenger terminal with an international wing, and passengers walk between the aircraft and the building.

On flights from the United States, you clear immigration in the international wing, collect your bags and pass customs before walking out of arrivals.

Zacatecas sits at about 2,180 m, so take it easy on your first day. The city runs on Central Standard Time (UTC−6) all year.
