Getting from Quito's airport to the city center

Quito is served by Mariscal Sucre International Airport (UIO), located approximately 37 km northeast of the historic city center. The airport opened in 2013 and replaced the former Mariscal Sucre Airport that was situated within the city. Airport transfers to city center destinations include authorized taxis, shuttle buses, public bus connections, ride-hailing services, private transfers, and rental cars. Journey times vary significantly depending on traffic conditions, particularly during rush hours, and can range from 45 minutes to over 2 hours.

Notes:

  • Prices in USD; table created in 2025 and subject to change.
  • Quito's altitude (2,850 m / 9,350 ft) and mountainous terrain can affect travel times significantly.
  • Rush hour traffic, especially between 7:00–9:00 and 17:00–20:00, can double journey times.
  • Authorized taxis use fixed zone-based pricing; always confirm the fare before departure.
  • We recommend checking official transport websites for your travel planning.
