The most common question we get is: "Will my transfer actually show up at SJD?"
At hoppa, we aren't a marketplace of random drivers. We are an end-to-end transfer system that connects you directly into a managed network of trusted, professional drivers for a guaranteed arrival.
When you book with us, you use a system trusted by global banks and major travel brands to move people safely. You do not have to risk getting into a random car from an unknown website.
The drive from SJD can take anywhere from 20 minutes to over an hour. We offer a range of services to meet every traveller’s needs.
If you want to get to your resort quickly, a private transfer is the fastest option. Our drivers meet you right at the terminal curb, which ride-hailing apps cannot do. You get to enjoy door-to-door service with no stops at other resorts. Driver takes you straight to your destination.
To keep your trip safe and follow the rules, please add the right safety equipment when you book.
Moving a wedding party or large group through SJD requires more than just a large vehicle; it also requires good coordination. hoppa’s group booking system lets you combine multiple arrivals into one managed schedule, even if guests arrive on different flights. Our minibuses and coaches accommodate groups of 8 to over 50 passengers, and we can visit several resorts in a single trip if your group is staying at different places along the Corridor.
For weddings, we suggest booking at least 2 to 3 weeks in advance during peak season (December to April), since large vehicles fill up quickly. Contact our group support team to discuss staggered arrival times, multi-stop routes, and special pricing for groups of 15 or more.
If you want the cheapest way to get from the Los Cabos airport to your hotel without dealing with the public bus or the unmarked vans sold inside the terminal, our shared shuttles are a good choice. Prices start at $15 per person, with the same trusted drivers and fixed pricing as our private transfers.
At hoppa, we believe in clear pricing. Our rates are fixed and include all airport fees and tolls. The base rate covers your trip, and any extras you choose at checkout will be listed clearly.
Please note that rates are estimated one-way, per vehicle (Private) or per person (Shared). Prices may change depending on your specific travel details.
You’ll pay in full when you book to secure your vehicle. The total includes your base fare and any add-ons, like child seats. There are no extra charges at pickup unless you add stops or extra wait time on the day of travel. For any clarification, we are available 24/7. Reach out to us anytime.
Many travellers forget to book their return ride until they’re already at the resort, where local taxi prices are much higher.
Please note that prices are indicative and may change based on your specific travel needs.
This is the closest and most affordable zone from SJD, perfect for budget travellers or anyone who wants a quieter base. Shared shuttles start at $15 per person, and private vans start at $75. Traffic is usually light outside of peak season, making this the most predictable transfer on the Corridor.
This area is home to most of the region’s five-star resorts, like Las Ventanas al Paraíso, Grand Velas, Chileno Bay, and Waldorf Astoria. We strongly recommend a private SUV or van, especially during peak golf season (January–March). Private vans start at $90, and luxury SUVs start at $130.
This is the longest and most traffic-prone route, especially on Friday evenings and during spring break (March–April). Vans and minibuses are best for groups. Shared shuttles save the most money per person here, starting at $25, but private vans ($110) are a good choice for families or anyone arriving after 8 pm.
These are the most remote destinations, including Diamante, Cerritos Beach, and the “Magic Town” of Todos Santos. You’ll need a private vehicle for these routes, as no shared shuttles go to this zone. If you’re travelling with a surfboard or large luggage, book a van and let us know about your equipment at checkout. Private vans start at $130.
Every vehicle in our network is fully insured, professional, and trusted, giving you a level of security you won’t find with a standard marketplace. Choose your tier and lock in your fixed rate today.
To avoid extra fees and ensure your vehicle is available, book at least 24 hours in advance for sedans or vans, and 48 hours for minibuses. During peak season (December to April), it's best to book 1–2 weeks in advance, as luxury SUVs and large vehicles fill quickly.
SJD is famous for the "Glass Room" (the timeshare gauntlet). After customs, you’ll walk through a hall where people will try to sell you tours. Ignore them and keep walking until you are completely outside. Your driver will be in the designated "Pre-booked Transportation" area holding a sign with your name or “hoppa”.
Don’t worry. We track SJD flight data, so if your flight is delayed, your driver will adjust the pickup time. You also get 60 minutes of free waiting time.
Yes. Child safety seats are a special add-on and cost extra per seat. Please provide your child’s age, weight, and height at checkout so we can supply the right seat.
Per the Service Agreement, child seats must be requested at the time of booking or communicated in advance of your scheduled arrival. If you land at SJD and require a child seat that wasn't pre-booked and paid for, the driver is legally permitted to refuse the ride to comply with safety regulations. In this scenario, no refund will be issued.
The price shown at checkout is final for the service described. Extra charges only apply if:
Yes. Oversized equipment (over 24 inches) incurs an extra charge and must be requested when you book. If you need help choosing the right vehicle for your luggage, contact our customer support team.
Tipping isn’t required, but it’s appreciated for good service. Most people tip shuttle drivers $5 to $10 USD, or 10 to 15% for a private luxury transfer. Most drivers accept either USD or Mexican Pesos.
We offer a flexible policy. For sedans and vans, you can cancel for a full refund up to 24 hours before your ride. For larger minibuses, we require 48 hours' notice.
No. To keep your price fixed and avoid taxi haggling at the terminal, all hoppa transfers must be prepaid by debit/credit card when you book. This makes your arrival contactless and secure.
Yes. The main highway, called The Corridor, is well-lit and safe. Our trusted drivers are trained to handle late-night arrivals and will take you straight to your hotel entrance, ensuring you’re checked in before they leave.
While Uber works in town, they are not allowed to pick up passengers at the SJD terminal curb. To get an Uber, you often have to carry your luggage a long way to a highway pickup spot. Prices also go up during busy times, often costing more than a pre-booked private vehicle.
The "Purple Bus" is the cheapest option ($5-$10), but it is not recommended for most vacationers. It does not allow large luggage, does not stop at all resorts, and can leave you with a 20-minute walk to your hotel lobby in the heat.
hoppa offers door-to-door service with air-conditioning, professional luggage handling, and 24/7 support. You won’t get these benefits with the bus or Uber at SJD.
