Ecuador Airport Transfer Guide - All Options & Prices

# Airport Transfer Options in Ecuador Based on current available data, specific verified airport transfer services in Ecuador are limited in our system. However, Ecuador's main international airports, particularly Mariscal Sucre International Airport in Quito and José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport in Guayaquil, typically offer several ground transportation options that travelers should verify directly when planning their journey. For the most current and accurate information about airport transfers in Ecuador, including available services, pricing categories, and booking options, we recommend checking the booking widgets on this page or consulting directly with your accommodation provider. Local transportation options can vary significantly between Ecuador's different airports and cities, and availability may change seasonally. Always verify transfer options and current rates through official sources or trusted booking platforms before your travel date to ensure you have the most up-to-date information for your specific arrival airport and destination.

Download the Uber app before arrival as it operates in major cities like Quito and Guayaquil

Taxis typically don't use meters - agree on the fare before starting your journey or use ride-hailing apps

Unofficial Taxi Drivers: Unlicensed drivers may approach you inside or just outside the terminal offering rides at seemingly good rates, but may overcharge, take longer routes, or in rare cases pose safety risks. Avoid by only using official airport taxi services from authorized counters inside the terminal, or pre-book transportation through your hotel or verified apps.

Currency Exchange Scams: Airport money changers may offer poor exchange rates or use sleight-of-hand techniques when counting bills. Avoid by exchanging only small amounts at the airport if needed, using official bank ATMs instead, or waiting to exchange at reputable banks in the city. Always count your money carefully before leaving the counter.

Fake Airport Officials or Porters: Individuals wearing unofficial uniforms or badges may offer to help with luggage, immigration procedures, or finding transportation, then demand excessive fees. Avoid by politely declining unsolicited help, only accepting assistance from clearly identified official airport staff at designated service points, and confirming any fees before accepting services.
