Uber

Is there Uber in Oaxaca?

No. As of November 2023.

Our arrival at the Oaxaca International Airport, officially known as Aeropuerto Internacional de Oaxaca (OAX), marked the beginning of our much-anticipated adventure in this culturally rich city.

Our Airbnb is located at a 25-minute drive from the city center, unfortunately we encountered a minor hiccup – the absence of Uber services in Oaxaca. This came as a surprise, as Uber has become a transportation staple in many parts of the world.

We opted for a transfer bus available at the airport. The process was seamless, and we could conveniently pay with a credit card, which was a relief. It costs us about 220 pesos.

The absence of Uber certainly didn’t dampen our spirits. Just take note visitors to Oaxaca — prepare for alternative transportation methods will ensure a smoother experience.

There’s Uber Eats though if you’re looking for food delivery:

Taxis are available all around but you should confirm the price before getting in to avoid a price shock.
