Taxi Transfers To and From Pico Airport

Taxis are like private transfers that could give every passenger convenient, fast, and quality service. However, unlike private vehicles, taxis are accessible anytime and anywhere on Pico Island, particularly outside huge establishments, well-known sites, attractions, and malls.

In Pico, many taxi companies offer transfer services to residents and local and foreign travelers. The taxi ride is among the most utilized transportation in the area, especially for tourists who can afford its fare.

Rideshare at Pico Airport

Rideshare vehicles do not exist on the island. Therefore, it is impossible to hire or ride one. We recommend other transport options such as buses, taxis, shuttles, vans, and coaches.

There are legal third-party websites that offer low-cost private transfer services. For further information, please refer to the tourism office at Pico Airport.

Hotel Shuttles at Pico Airport

Hotel Shuttles are also considered private transfers, often provided by hotel accommodations. However, they are sometimes given as a complimentary service; others would offer it for an additional charge.

Private transfers are an ideal choice for a slightly higher price for public transport, particularly if traveling in a group. They will bring you to your destination, avoiding further delays with baggage in tow. In particular, private transfers for exclusive use are comparable to a cab service.
