 Verified 5 Star Service with Golden Transportation
We had excellent service with Golden Transportation. Jesus and Carlos took care of all our travel needs, from airport pick up to driving us to a restaurant that was an hour away. The cars were clean and comfortable and they always had a cooler stocked with beer/water in the back. We will definitely use them the next time we travel to Puerto Vallarta.

 Verified Excellent service
We have been travelling with Jesus for years and have been so pleased with his service. Always on time, greeting us as we come out of the airport. Car is always cool and ready with a frosty beverage. Even if we booked a package we would always use Jesus instead. You will absolutely not be sorry you did. Clean, comfortable Suburban. Ride in style.

 Verified Airport transfer
My family and I used Golden Transportation for a round trip airport transfer. I absolutely recommend this service. Jesus is nothing other than courteous, professional, timely and polite. We even were greeted with a chilled bottle of sparkling wine which was a nice surprise. We will utilize this service when we come back to Puerta Vallarta!

 Verified The best transportation service in Puerto Vallarta!
Jesus was the most accommodating, personable, and kind driver we could have asked for being in Mexico for the first time. As soon as we landed and got through security, he greeted me and my girlfriend with a sign and immediately directed us to our vehicle where he loaded all of our luggage for us. On our drive to Punta Mita, Jesus gave us recommendations on places to go and activities to do and got us to our resort in a smooth, safe and enjoyable manner. We will use golden transportation for every visit to Puerto Vallarta and would recommend it to new or seasoned travellers!

 Verified Round transportation from PVR to our resort
Jesus was absolutely phenomenal. Everything went seamlessly, the communication was quick and efficient, the pickup/dropoff instructions were so easy to follow, the ride itself was smooth and quick, and the SUV was spotless. Not to mention, you’re probably getting one of the kindest and most helpful person ever to talk to on the way. Jesus even had welcome drinks and bottles of water waiting for us. When our initial payment didn’t go as planned, Jesus was so trustworthy with us and waited until our return trip for us to pay. Thank you Golden Transportation, we will be using you again.

 Verified Great service and lowest rate
I can’t believe how much transportation costs in PV. We go to Cabo every year and a roundtrip in an SUV seating up to six people is just $150. In PV, it’s $250-$300. And it was hard to find anyone to do a one-way transfer from the hotel to airport. IF they do one way, it’s usually from the airport to the resort.Anyhow, I needed just a one-way transfer for me and the hubby, so I emailed about 5-6 dif services. Jesus Salazar with Golden Transportations was on it. Their rates were the best I had seen, however I asked for even a lower rater bc I didn’t need an SUV; I just needed a sedan and he offered me just that at a very good price. The driver came on time and the car was very clean. I was very happy with this transportation company and would use them again.
