Private Airport Transfers in Mexico City

Mexico City (CDMX) is served by two international airports: Benito Juárez International (MEX), located 13 km east of the Zócalo, and the newer Felipe Ángeles International (NLU), 50 km north of the city centre. Uber is available from MEX but the pick-up point is a 10-minute walk from arrivals; official taxis are expensive; and the Mexico City Metro, while cheap, requires navigating with luggage in a busy system. A pre-booked LocalsRide transfer takes you door-to-door from either airport at a fixed price.

Transfers start from $45 — fixed price, confirmed at booking. No meter, no hidden fees, no surge pricing.

MEX vs NLU — Which Airport Are You Using?

Most international airlines use MEX (Benito Juárez). NLU (Felipe Ángeles) handles a growing number of domestic routes and some international flights — check your itinerary carefully, as the two airports are 60 km apart and the NLU transfer to city centre takes approximately 70–90 minutes.
