When you book this private transfer, what you’ll really appreciate is the simplicity it offers in an otherwise potentially complicated journey. No more waiting around for taxis, no worries about hailing rides on busy streets — just a booked service that lets you relax and enjoy the ride.
How the booking process works
Once you make your reservation, the company’s customer service team will reach out to confirm details. The night before your trip, you’ll receive information about your driver, including their contact info. On the day of your departure, your driver will arrive at your hotel or specified pickup point in Mexico City. Showing your confirmation is all you need to board the vehicle, which will comfortably transport you to Oaxaca City.
The vehicle and journey
The vehicle you’ll travel in is described as modern and equipped with air conditioning, which is especially welcome given Mexico’s often warm weather. The journey lasts approximately 7 hours, covering the highway route between the two cities.

Traveling in a private vehicle means your experience is tailored to your schedule — you won’t be stuck with other strangers or have to worry about delays. Plus, the inclusion of toll fees means no surprise costs once you’re on the road.
The route and scenery
