Huatulco Airport Car Rental (HUX)

Bahías de Huatulco Airport (HUX) offers 6 rental companies directly in the terminal, making it easy to drive straight to your hotel upon arrival. The airport is 12 km west of La Crucecita and 18 km from Tangolunda Bay's luxury resorts. With a rental car you can explore Oaxaca's nine bays completely on your own.

From the airport you reach La Crucecita in 15 minutes via Carretera Costera. Bahía Santa Cruz with port and snorkeling is 14 km to the east. Huatulco National Park's protected coral reefs and jungle beaches are easily accessible along the coastal road.

Pick up your car immediately upon arrival - queues at rental desks can be long when charter flights land. Choose a car with high ground clearance if you plan to visit the more remote bays via unpaved roads. Fill up the tank in La Crucecita - there are no gas stations along the narrower coastal roads.

How long does it take to drive from the airport to Tangolunda? Tangolunda Bay with the large hotel resorts is approximately 18 km to the east, about 20 minutes via the coastal road. Can I return the car at the airport if I rented it downtown?

Yes, most rental companies allow airport return for a fee. Confirm this at the time of booking. Are there road tolls between the airport and the beaches?

No, the local roads along the Huatulco coast are toll-free. Tolls may only apply if you drive longer distances toward Salina Cruz.

We compare prices from all major providers at Huatulco Airport so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
