Shuttles in Guatemala — Shared & Private
Door-to-door tourist shuttles between Guatemala's top destinations — book a shared seat online or request a private van for your group.
Tourist shuttles are how most travelers actually move around Guatemala: door-to-door minivans that pick you up at your hotel, hostel, or the La Aurora airport curb and drop you at your next stop — no terminal transfers, no luggage juggling. Spring Bus sells seats on shuttles run by vetted local operators like Adrenalina Tours, Atitrans, and Bekol Tours, all booked online in one place.
Traveling as a group, carrying surfboards, or catching an early flight? We also arrange private shuttle charters with the same partner operators — your own van and driver, on your schedule, priced per vehicle instead of per seat. Request a quote and a human gets back to you via WhatsApp.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a shared and a private shuttle?
A shared shuttle sells individual seats on a minivan with fixed departure times — you share the ride with other travelers. A private shuttle is the whole van and driver reserved for your group, priced per vehicle, departing whenever you choose. Both are operated by the same vetted local partners and booked through Spring Bus.
Does Spring Bus operate the shuttles?
No — Spring Bus is a booking platform. Shuttles are operated by established Guatemalan operators such as Adrenalina Tours, Atitrans, Bekol Tours, and GO Travel Guatemala. We handle the booking, they handle the driving.
How do I book a private shuttle?
Use the quote form on any shuttle page (or this page). Tell us your route, travel date, and group size; we confirm availability and a per-vehicle price with our partner operators and send your quote via WhatsApp, typically within 24 hours.
Can shuttles pick me up at Guatemala City airport?
Yes. Shared shuttles on the Guatemala City routes include La Aurora (GUA) airport pickup zones, and private charters can meet any arriving flight — including early-morning and late-night arrivals that shared departures don't cover.
Can I bring a surfboard or extra luggage?
Standard allowance on shared shuttles is one main bag plus a daypack. Surfboards and oversized items usually travel on roof racks but must be declared when booking so the operator assigns space. On a private charter, the van is yours — luggage is only limited by vehicle size.
