Operating Area
When Gringo Taxis originally started, we primarily provided airport transfers between Lima Airport and Miraflores. Over the past 11 years, our operating area has grown as customers have asked us to serve more destinations throughout Lima such as Barranco and San Isidro.
Which Vehicle is right for me?
What is right for you may be different than you think.
Many of our customers travel with far more luggage than they expected, and choosing a vehicle is not only about passenger count, or even luggage capacity. Vehicles also have weight limits.
Check out our vehicles below to find what best fits your needs.
Yes. We have a limited number of child car seats available for our airport transfers. Because availability is limited, please request a car seat when making your reservation so we can confirm whether one is available for your trip.
If a car seat is not available, we will let you know before your trip rather than leaving you to find out at the airport.
While group size is important there is another aspect to think about, which is how much luggage will the group actually have. Before deciding what vehicle you need we advise checking how many suitcases you will have a s a group. Generally speaking 4 passengers can fit in a sedan but the luggage can become an issue very fast. For 4 persons we recommed at least an SUV or MPV. 5 or more person will require a van.
Luggage Capacity
Our SUV / MPV can carry up to 5 large suitcases plus a few carry-on bags. Our vans provide additional space for larger groups and bulky travel equipment, including surfboards and bicycles in boxes, with capacity for up to 8 large suitcases.
Choosing the right vehicle helps ensure that everyone and everything travels comfortably.
Most airlines allow no more than 2 checked bags per person, which naturally limits how much luggage most passengers will have.
On average, our clients are able to fit up to 8 large suitcases in our vans, 5 large suitcases in our SUV/MPVs, and 3 large suitcases in our sedans.
Weight, along with the number of passengers, is also a deciding factor in which vehicle is right for you.
Use our vehicle calculator to find the right van for your group.
Before You Arrive
Step 1: Book Your Transfer
Order online at gringotaxis.com Choose your route, travel date, pickup time, vehicle, and the other important details requested during the booking process.
This allows us to have all the correct information in one shot, making your trip that much smoother once you arrive.
Step 2: Meet Your Driver at the Airport
From there, your driver will escort you to the vehicle in the parking lot, stopping briefly to pay the required parking fee.
International passengers will meet their driver at EXIT 3 in the main arrivals hall.
Domestic passengers will meet their driver at EXIT 1 in the main arrivals waiting area
If you have difficulty locating your driver, your confirmation email includes an emergency contact number for help. You will not be left alone or without help
What Happens If Your Flight Is Delayed?
Standard flight tracking is included with every airport transfer. Once a driver has been assigned to your reservation, the driver uses your flight information to help coordinate the pickup timing.
For travelers who want an additional level of monitoring, we also offer active flight tracking through our dispatch team. With this service, dispatch actively monitors your flight and coordinates with the assigned driver regarding changes to the expected arrival time.
These are two different levels of flight tracking, allowing you to choose the level of monitoring that best fits your needs.
We also monitor flight information and make adjustments in real time when needed to help coordinate your pickup with your actual arrival time.
We allow one free change to your arrival date or pickup time when the change is requested in advance.
