Tolls, charges, terminal pickup zones and local rules that affect your private transfer at Acapulco Airport (ACA).
Single Terminal, 24-Hour Arrivals Baggage-Hall Pickup
Acapulco Airport operates one modern terminal with unified baggage claim. Your Transfeero driver waits at the arrivals baggage-hall exit holding your name sign, available 24 hours daily. No forecourt charges or terminal fees apply.
Costera Miguel Alemán: 24 km Route, 30–45 Minutes Standard Time
The coastal highway from airport to Acapulco centre averages 30–45 minutes in normal traffic. Peak congestion (December–January, Easter, summer, 17:00–19:00) adds 20–30 minutes. All tolls and road charges are included in your fixed Transfeero price.

Licensed Federal Drivers (LFC): Mexico's Commercial Standard
Transfeero partners hold the Licencia Federal de Conductor (LFC), Mexico's federal commercial driving licence issued by the Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes. This is the recognised credential for private commercial transport throughout Mexico.
Transfer insights for Acapulco Airport
Acapulco Airport operates a single modern terminal building serving both domestic and international flights, with a unified baggage claim area and arrivals hall. Passengers clear immigration, collect luggage, and exit directly into the pickup zone where your driver will be waiting. The terminal operates 24/7 with no congestion surcharges or mandatory intermediary fees—simply proceed to arrivals baggage-hall exit where our Transfeero driver holds your name sign.
The Costera Miguel Alemán is the main coastal highway connecting the airport to central Acapulco, a 24 km route typically taking 30–45 minutes in standard traffic. Peak congestion occurs during high tourist seasons (December–January, Easter, summer weekends) and afternoon rush hours (17:00–19:00), adding 20–30 minutes to journey times. Early morning arrivals (before 09:00) experience the fastest conditions; evening arrivals often face noticeable delays on the coastal approach into the bay area.
All local tolls and road charges on the Costera Miguel Alemán route are included in your fixed Transfeero price with zero extra costs or hidden fees. Mexico's federal private-hire operators hold the Licencia Federal de Conductor (LFC), the commercial driving licence issued by the Secretaría de Comunicaciones y Transportes—Transfeero partners hold this recognised credential. Your fixed price covers the complete journey; no additional tolls, congestion charges, or zone fees apply after booking.
Taxis from the official taxi rank charge metered fares or fixed rates by zone (typically MXN 400–600 for Costera routes), but surge pricing often applies to airport pickups during peak hours, and queues can exceed 30 minutes. Uber operates locally but lacks the reliability of a confirmed pre-booked transfer. Airport shuttles (shared vans) charge MXN 300 per vehicle but involve multiple stops and unpredictable wait times. A Transfeero private transfer eliminates the taxi queue, guarantees your vehicle, and locks in your price before you land.
