At Mexico City International Airport (AICM), only taxis with a permit from the authorities can provide service, as they must meet a series of requirements to provide service to passengers.
In recent days, controversy arose over the permit for app taxis to operate at the Benito Juárez airport, as since 2022 they are prohibited from providing service at the facilities because it is a federal zone.
However, due to the dissatisfaction of taxi drivers, the permit was again denied, so Uber or DiDi operators continue to have boarding points in the vicinity of the airport to provide the service.
Given this situation, users are wondering which taxis they can board at AICM and what is their price.
What are the AICM taxis?
At Mexico City International Airport, there are spaces or areas for boarding authorized taxis, which are accredited by the Ministry of Communications and Transportation (SCT) and are regulated by the Airport for the provision of the service, which comply with the standards of safety, comfort and quality.
This service is offered in Terminal 1, with boarding areas at gate number 1 in the national area and gate number 9 and 10 in the international area.
In Terminal 2, the boarding areas are located at gate number 3 in the international area and gate number 4 in the national area.
While the points of sale are located in the area of ambulatory baggage belts and in front of the doors in the boarding areas of authorized taxis, in both terminals.
There are two types of service:
Ordinary: Sedan-type vehicle for 4 passengers, plus the operator.
Executive: Vans for 8 passengers, plus the operator.
AICM taxis operate 24 hours a day, 365 days a year at both terminals.
The companies that work at AICM are:
Nueva Imagen
Yellow Cab
Sitio 300
Taxi Confort Unlimited
Porto Taxi
Taxi Excelencia
Prho Txi

How much do AICM taxis charge?
The fares for Mexico City airport taxis are higher than those for regular taxis, because they must meet more requirements, such as special license plates to operate within airports, their cars must be in good condition and most importantly, they cannot carry passengers as free or app-based taxis usually do.
The airport taxi drivers set their rates, and the cost varies depending on the distance, although on average, a trip from AICM to Polanco, Del Valle and its surroundings costs between 250 and 350 pesos, plus some additional costs, for luggage, for example, and those considered by the concessionaire.
