Why choose a tourist transportation service in Havana?
Getting around Havana may seem easy at first, but if you’re looking for comfort, safety, and punctuality—especially when arriving at the airport or departing for other destinations like Varadero or the Cays—the best decision is to opt for a professional tourist transportation service.
Contrary to what some people think, it’s not a luxury; it’s a necessity if you want to make the most of your trip without unpleasant surprises. Those who have arrived in Havana without prearranged transportation are well aware of the wait times, lack of equipped vehicles, and confusing fares. That’s why more and more travelers are booking in advance.
A major advantage of this type of service is that it’s specifically designed for tourists: this means trained drivers, popular routes covered, and vehicles in good condition.
Our company, for example, offers private and shared services from Havana Airport to Havana and Varadero, helping many travelers begin their experience without stress or improvisation.
Havana Airport Transfers: Options and Recommendations
There’s nothing like landing and knowing there’s a vehicle waiting for you. Services from José Martí Airport cover key routes to:
Central Havana
- Old Havana
- Vedado
- Varadero
- Eastern Beaches
Transfers can be shared or private, depending on your budget or preference. In both cases, you’ll have modern vehicles, usually less than five years old, air-conditioned, and with enough space for luggage.
In our experience, many tourists opt for shared transportation from the airport to their hotel in Havana to save money, but prefer a private vehicle to travel to Varadero or the Cays, due to the distance and comfort.
Our company has worked for years to ensure that each vehicle is equipped with air conditioning and that wait times are minimal. Punctuality is everything in these transfers.
Transportation from Havana Hotels to Popular Destinations
Most visitors don’t just stay in Havana. Getaways to Varadero, Cayo Santa María, and Cayo Coco are very common, and efficient hotel transfers are key.
We offer both private and shared services from Havana hotels to:
Varadero: One of the most popular routes. A paradise beach, many choose to combine city and sea in a single trip.
Cayo Santa María: Ideal for those seeking luxury and tranquility.
Cayo Coco: An increasingly popular destination for its natural beauty.
These services are designed to adapt to travelers’ schedules and hotel check-out policies. Additionally, each vehicle has space for large suitcases, a welcome feature when traveling in a group or as a couple with bulky luggage.
Private or Shared? Available Service Types
This is one of the most common questions: which is best?
Private Transportation
Faster, with no stops in between.
Ideal for families or groups.
Maximum schedule flexibility.
Shared Transportation
Economical.
You share with other tourists on similar routes.
Slightly slower, but very efficient.
In both cases, our fleet consists of units less than 5 years old, all air-conditioned and regularly serviced.
In our experience, tourists traveling to Cayo Santa María or Cayo Coco usually prefer private transportation, while those traveling to Varadero from hotels in Havana tend to choose the shared option, as it is a more common and direct route.
