Tijuana → Ensenada: key facts

Getting from Tijuana Airport (TIJ) to Ensenada takes about 1h 35min by car on an empty road (1h 35min – 2h in heavy traffic) over 108 km via MEX 1D and MEX 1. Our private transfer costs €140 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €200 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the public arrivals area of the main terminal building, after baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Pickups are on the Mexican side of the airport, not at the Cross Border Xpress building in the United States. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Ensenada is a port city on the Bahía de Todos Santos, about 100 km south of Tijuana. The usual route is the scenic coastal toll highway 1D (Tijuana–Ensenada), which runs along the cliffs past Rosarito, Puerto Nuevo, La Misión and Bajamar before descending through El Sauzal into the city. The highway has several toll plazas along the way. A free road, Highway 1, runs partly parallel inland but is slower; fog on the coastal section is common on spring and summer mornings.

The centre of Ensenada sits along the bay: the malecón with its giant Mexican flag, the cruise ship terminal and the Mercado Negro fish market are all next to each other near the waterfront. A few blocks inland, Avenida López Mateos (La Primera) is the main street for shops and restaurants, and the white Riviera del Pacífico, a former casino hotel now a cultural centre, stands nearby. Hotels line the waterfront boulevard, and cruise passengers arrive right in the centre.

Public transport: The airport operator's ground transportation page lists intercity bus companies, among them Autobuses ABC (desk hours 7:00 am to 1:00 am), operating from the Central de Autobuses near the airport, but it publishes no direct airport service.
