Cross Border Xpress exists because it solves a real problem — giving San Diego travelers a direct path to Tijuana International Airport without the long wait times and unpredictability of a standard border crossing. But the bridge is only half the equation. Getting to the CBX terminal efficiently, with enough time to cross and check in, is where a lot of travelers run into trouble. Afford Transport handles that side of it. We provide private, direct transportation to the CBX terminal in Otay Mesa, timed so you arrive with room to breathe before your flight across the border.
Our drivers know the fastest routes to CBX and understand the importance of building in the right amount of time before you cross the bridge into the Tijuana terminal. When you’re working with a departure time on the other side, there’s no room for a driver who’s guessing at the route or stuck in preventable traffic.
