Night-Before Preparation Checklist

Early Departure Expert Tips

Sleep in Travel Clothes

Seriously. Wear comfortable travel clothes to bed or lay them out perfectly organized. At 3am, you don’t want to think about outfit choices. Less to do = more sleep = better travel experience.

Pre-Pay for Peace of Mind

Pay for transfer when booking, not morning-of. One less thing to think about when groggy. Confirmation email has all details you need. Just get in vehicle and go.

Skip the Hotel Breakfast

Most hotels don’t serve breakfast before 6-7am. Airport has cafes once through security (Starbucks, local options). Grab portable snack from hotel lobby convenience store night before.

Early Check-In Advantage

Arriving 3 hours early? Use it wisely. Check-in opens 3 hours before international flights. Be first in line, snag good seats, breeze through security, relax at gate with coffee.

Hotel Checkout Logistics

Most hotels allow express checkout night before. Settle bill, return room keys in morning drop box. Saves 10-15 minutes. Ask front desk about procedure when confirming wake-up call.

Currency Exchange Night Before

Exchange leftover pesos night before, not at 4am. Airport exchange rates are terrible. Hotel typically has better rates and more time for transactions. Or keep pesos for next trip!

Why Uber, Taxis, and Hotel Shuttles Fail for Early Departures

Uber: Extremely unreliable 3-5am. Many drivers simply don’t accept rides that early. 45-60 minute wait times common. App shows “no drivers available.” Risk missing flight if Uber no-shows.

Airport Taxis: Hotel taxi stands often closed before 5am. Street taxis scarce. Must call dispatch and HOPE driver shows up on time. No accountability if they don’t. Risky for early flights.

Hotel Shuttles: Most hotels don’t offer shuttles before 6-7am. Those that do charge premium rates ($40-60 vs our standard rates) and require 48-72 hour advance booking with strict cancellation policies.

Rental Car Return: Rental companies at airport don’t open until 6-7am. Can’t return car for early flight. Stuck paying extra day rental or leaving car in lot overnight (against policy).

Early Morning Transfer FAQs

Do you really pick up at 3am, 4am, 5am?

Yes, absolutely. Our 24/7 service means ANY time. We regularly do 3am pickups for 6am flights. Drivers are scheduled and ready. This is our specialty, not an inconvenience. Book with confidence for any early departure time.

What if I oversleep and miss the pickup?

Driver will call/knock/text at pickup time. If no answer after 10 minutes, driver calls again. After 15-20 minutes with no contact, driver must leave for next booking. You’ll need to arrange own transportation. Set multiple alarms!

Can I change my pickup time the night before?

Yes, if you notify us by 8pm night before. Text/call/WhatsApp to adjust time. Need 30-45 minute advance notice minimum to reschedule driver. Last-minute changes (morning-of) usually impossible – driver already en route.

How early is TOO early to arrive at the airport?

International check-in opens 3 hours before departure, no earlier. Arriving at 3am for 6am flight = 3 hours, perfect. Earlier than that, you’ll wait outside closed check-in counters. Follow our timing recommendations above.

What if there’s unexpected traffic or road closure?

We monitor traffic 24/7 and know all alternate routes. Early morning typically has zero traffic (huge advantage of early flights). Construction closures? We’re aware and route around them. You’ll arrive on time, guaranteed.

Is it safe to travel at 3-4am in Puerto Vallarta?

Very safe. Tourist areas are secure 24/7. Our professional drivers know routes, vehicles are GPS tracked, and we transport thousands of early morning passengers annually without incidents. Safer than trying Uber or random taxi.

Do you charge extra for pickups before 5am?

No extra charges. A 4am pickup costs exactly the same as a 2pm pickup. No early-bird fees, no surcharges, no peak pricing. The rate depends ONLY on your hotel zone, not time of day.

Can I book round-trip with early morning departure?

Absolutely. Book both arrival and departure transfers together for discount. Saves time and guarantees service for early departure. Many customers book round-trip for peace of mind on both ends of vacation.
