Zira10 Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 I am looking to hire someone with a van to pick up a family of 5 or perhaps 6 at the airport (GDL) including luggage. Keeping in mind that everyone coming from the north has way too much luggage. Tks for your suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joyfull Posted December 6, 2017 Report Share Posted December 6, 2017 Call Francisco Miramontes (333) 157-8060 he and his sons drive gringos for a living. They have a van for exactly what you need. We have used him for over 8 years. He drove my husband t the airport with a 345am pick up 2 days ago. Always on time and reliable. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TelsZ4 Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Use an airport taxi van. If they blockade the airport parking like they did last week trying to get picked up in a private vehicle was a nightmare.. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sugarplumfaerie Posted December 7, 2017 Report Share Posted December 7, 2017 Also, if you are paying a driver to pick you up, no one ever knows how long it will take to get through customs. Sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes an hour or more. So it is possible that either your guests or your driver will be waiting for a time. The hired drivers do charge more to pick up at the airport because of this. An airport taxi van is an excellent idea. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonhill Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I highly recommend the Miramontes family and use them often, however when it comes to people arriving at the airport I strongly urge you to have your family hire a taxi there. It's so easy that I don't even pick up people anymore and here's why: as mentioned earlier, any kind of delay with their flight will have them stressed that you're sitting around the airport waiting for who-knows-how-long. Travelers don't need more stress. Any protests or construction blockages are hard for private taxis to get through sometimes and the airport taxis have priority and know the ropes. Don't forget traffic delays on the highway if there's an accident that hasn't been cleared; now everybody's stressed. There is a clearly marked taxi kiosk just inside the airport as passengers come out from customs. The price is fixed, tell them how many personas and show them the luggage. You pay at the kiosk and they hand you a receipt. You walk outside, a man will see your receipt and find the right size taxi for you. Easy as 1-2-3 and no one gets stressed. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 I'm with your, moonhill. Because of my eyes, I can't drive into oncoming headlights, especially on the highway from here. And last year, with the ongoing protests, it became very unclear what the best path would be. Then I had car trouble on the day I was to drive people to the airport. Taking taxis both ways, which I am happy to pay for in exchange for peace-of-mind of both parties, now just seems like a natural thing to do. Family and friends might miss that great moment at the airport when you finally see them coming out of the doors, but heck. So much easier, and everyone forgets those moments anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, do you know if Francisco can be reached via text to the number you provided. I tried texting (just because long distance calls from Canada can be very expensive) but I didn't receive a response from him. Would you know if he can be reached via email?

bournemouth Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 Charlene - most Mexicans use Whatsapp for texting and even calls. You might download it and send a message that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cstone Posted September 19, 2019 Report Share Posted September 19, 2019 I agree with the others. Get a van from the cab kiosk at the airport. You might have to wait a few minutes, but it is so very easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
