Expert Holiday Travel Tips for Puerto Vallarta

Make your holiday arrival smooth and stress-free

1. Book Transfer First

Before booking flights or hotels, secure your airport transfer. This ensures availability during peak dates and gives you peace of mind.

2. Save Confirmation on Phone

Screenshot your transfer confirmation and save it offline. Include driver contact info in case of flight delays or terminal confusion.

3. Allow Extra Airport Time

During holidays, PVR airport is busiest. Budget 30-45 minutes from landing to meeting driver (customs, immigration, baggage).

4. Request Car Seats Early

If traveling with kids, request car seats when booking. Holiday rentals fill up fast – don’t wait until day before arrival.

5. Have Cash for Tips

Bring small USD bills ($5-10) for driver tip. Transfer price doesn’t include gratuity, and drivers greatly appreciate holiday tips.

6. Join WhatsApp Group

We’ll add you to WhatsApp for real-time updates. Get notified when driver is en route and receive location tracking link.

Holiday Transfer FAQs

How far in advance should I book for Christmas/New Year’s?

30-60 days recommended. December 20 – January 3 is our busiest period. While we have large fleet capacity, pre-booking guarantees your preferred vehicle type and eliminates any arrival stress. Last-minute bookings (1-3 days before) are often available but not guaranteed during extreme peak dates.

Do you charge extra during holidays?

No – our prices are the same year-round. You’ll pay the exact same rate on Christmas Day as you would in September. We don’t believe in surge pricing or holiday surcharges. The price you see when booking is the price you pay – no hidden fees or surprises.

What if my holiday flight is delayed?

No problem – we track all flights automatically. If your flight is delayed 1 hour or 6 hours, we adjust automatically at no extra charge. Your driver will be there when you land, guaranteed. You don’t need to call or notify us – our system monitors flight status in real-time.

Can you accommodate large family groups during holidays?

Absolutely – we specialize in family holiday travel. We have:

  • Vans: Up to 8 passengers + luggage
  • Suburbans: Up to 6 passengers + extra luggage space
  • Sprinter Vans: Up to 18 passengers for extended families
  • Multiple Vehicles: For very large groups, we can coordinate 2+ vehicles arriving together

What happens if airport customs takes longer than expected?

Your driver waits as long as needed – no rush, no extra fees. During holidays, customs/immigration can take 45-90 minutes during peak arrival times (typically 12pm-4pm). Your driver monitors passenger flow and waits patiently. We’ve never charged a waiting fee, even during busiest holiday periods.

Are car seats available during peak season?

Yes, but you MUST request when booking. We have ample car seat inventory for holidays, but they’re assigned on a first-come, first-served basis. When you book your transfer, specify ages of children and we’ll reserve appropriate seats (infant, convertible, booster). Car seats are always free – just request in advance.

Can I book round-trip for my entire holiday stay?

Yes – and we recommend it! Book both arrival and departure transfers when you reserve. Benefits of round-trip booking:

  • Guaranteed return transfer (peak departure days also fill up)
  • Same reliable service for both trips
  • One less thing to worry about during vacation
  • Hotel pickup exactly when you need it

What if I need to change my transfer date during the holidays?

Contact us as soon as possible – we’re very flexible. If you decide to extend your holiday vacation or change hotels, we can usually adjust your transfer date/time with 24-48 hours notice. During extreme peak dates (Dec 23-26, Dec 30-Jan 2), earlier notice is better to guarantee availability, but we always do our best to accommodate changes.
