Your vacation in Puerto Vallarta may be relaxing and unforgettable — but the journey back to the airport can be stressful if not planned properly. Between hotel check‑out, traffic, long security lines, and unpredictable delays, many travelers underestimate how important it is to arrange their return airport transfer in advance. Booking your return ride with AirGo ensures you get to the airport safely, comfortably, and right on time — with zero last‑minute worries.
Why Your Return Transfer Is Just as Important as Your Arrival
Many travelers remember to book transportation from the airport to their hotel, but forget that getting *back* to PVR airport can be even more complex. Taxis may be limited, especially in high‑traffic areas such as the Hotel Zone, Marina Vallarta, Nuevo Vallarta, and Punta de Mita.
Common issues travelers face:
• Taxis unavailable or charging surge pricing
• Delays caused by traffic on Highway 200
• Hotels being fully booked and unable to call transportation
• Families or groups struggling to find large vehicles at the last minute
• Stress about arriving late for international flights
When Should You Schedule Your Pickup?
International travelers are recommended to arrive at PVR airport **at least 2 hours before departure**. During holiday weeks or peak season, arriving 2.5 to 3 hours early is even safer.
To calculate your pickup time, consider:
• Travel distance from your resort to the airport
• Traffic patterns depending on the time of day
• Whether you need to make a stop for snacks or the ATM
• Whether your airline is known for long check‑in lines
When you book with AirGo, the team helps you select the ideal pickup time based on your exact location.
How to Book Your Return Transfer the Smart Way
You don’t have to wait until the end of your vacation to arrange transportation. The best solution is to book a round‑trip transfer at the same time as your arrival.
Benefits of booking round‑trip:
• You lock in availability
• You get better pricing
• No need to contact anyone later during your vacation
• Your driver arrives exactly when you need them
Round‑trip reservations with AirGo are the easiest and most stress‑free option.
Best Vehicles for Your Return to PVR Airport
Depending on your group size, luggage, and comfort preferences, these vehicles are perfect for getting back to the airport:
• **Standard SUV** — Great for solo travelers or small groups
• **VAN** — Best for families with extra luggage
• **VIP Car** — Ideal for couples seeking a smooth, luxurious ride
• **Sprinter** — Perfect for large groups traveling together
