Car Rental Mexico City Airport - Transportation to and From Mexico City Airport

A metro station is located near the baggage claim, but is only recommended if you are travelling lightly. The Terminal Area station is marked by an M symbol, and is located on Metro Line 5. Trains run every 10 minutes, until 01:00.

Buses to various destinations are also available and depart from outside the domestic terminal near lounge D. Pullman de Morelos connects Cuernavaca frequently, between 06:30 and 23:00. Other destinations include Pachuca, Queretaro, San Miguel de Allende, Leon and several others.

Some hotels provide a shuttle service to the city, enquire when booking your hotel.

If you would rather take a taxi, passengers are advised to only use official taxis, as new-arrivals are prey to those posing as taxi-drivers. Do not enter an unmarked or independent cab, and stay clear of Volkswagen ‘bug’ cabs.

Official taxis are found upon exiting the baggage claim area, at the end of Lounges A and E. They are positioned beside the arrival gates in booths marked ‘Taxi/Transportacion Terrestre’. Staff wear bright-yellow jackets emblazoned with ‘Taxi Autorizado’. The cabs themselves are yellow with a white taxi light on the roof, and an airport symbol painted on the doors. Tickets are bought at the taxi counters inside the terminal, and you should advise staff of your destination. The journey to downtown Mexico City takes 35 minutes.

If you are arriving by car from Mexico City (downtown), take Paseo de la Reforma East, then turn right to Av Rio Consulado East, then turn right to Circuito Interior Highway East.

Both short and long-term parking is available near all airport lounges and a multi-level carpark has recently been constructed, providing an additional 2,500 spaces.
