Introduction
Traveling from Leon’s BJX International Airport to the charming streets of Guanajuato can be a hassle if you don’t plan ahead. This private transfer service offers a straightforward way to start your visit without the stress of navigating public transportation or sharing rides with strangers. It’s designed for travelers who value comfort, punctuality, and a personalized experience right from the airport.
What we really appreciate about this service is its convenience—being picked up directly at your hotel or airport terminal means no wandering around looking for a bus or taxi after a long flight.

This transfer is best suited for visitors who want a reliable, door-to-door option and don’t mind paying a bit more for peace of mind. Whether you’re arriving late at night, catching an early flight, or simply prefer to start your Guanajuato trip relaxed, this private service ticks many boxes.

Seamless Convenience from Leon BJX Airport to Guanajuato
For travelers arriving at BJX International Airport, the idea of arranging transportation can sometimes feel more daunting than the flight itself. This private transfer service, operated by Guanajuato Vip, aims to eliminate that stress. You’re met with a professional driver who will greet you either at your hotel or at the airport terminal, depending on your preference.
The process begins with a simple reservation where you provide your flight details, number of passengers, and luggage information. The driver will contact you via WhatsApp before pickup—so having that app installed and registered is essential. This proactive communication helps ensure everyone is on the same page, especially if flights are delayed or early.
Vehicles and Comfort
The standard offering is a sedan, which is perfect for solo travelers or small groups. The interior is described as air-conditioned, making the ride more comfortable, especially during Mexico’s warm months. If your group has lots of luggage—perhaps if you’re arriving with multiple suitcases—be sure to contact the provider in advance. They can arrange a larger vehicle to accommodate your needs, ensuring no one has to squeeze or leave belongings behind.
What the Journey Looks Like
The transfer lasts approximately 40 minutes, covering the roughly 20-25 km distance between Leon Airport and Guanajuato. While the route itself is straightforward, the ride grants travelers a chance to start relaxing as they leave the airport behind. You might catch glimpses of the countryside or the outskirts of Guanajuato, giving a hint of what’s to come.
Pricing and Value
At $54.41 per group (up to four people), this service offers solid value—especially when compared to taxis or shared shuttles. It’s a fixed price, so you won’t be surprised by additional fees, and the door-to-door service saves time and effort. For travelers arriving late or with tight schedules, this peace of mind is worth the price.

Reviews and Feedback
Though the reviews are currently unfilled, the booking history suggests this service is popular, with most travelers booking about three weeks in advance. The availability from early morning to late evening (12:00 AM to 11:30 PM) makes it flexible for various flight times.
Who Will Love This Service?
This transfer is ideal for anyone who values reliable, private transportation and wants to avoid the unpredictability of taxis or crowded shuttles. It’s also a good fit for travelers with early or late flights, or those arriving with luggage that makes shared options less appealing.
What Could Be Improved?
While the service hits many marks, the standard sedan might not suit larger groups or travelers with substantial luggage. The process relies on prior communication, so travelers should ensure they follow instructions carefully. Plus, since there are no reviews yet, prospective customers might want to monitor for feedback to confirm ongoing reliability.
