Airport private trasfer
Airport transfer to hotel was a great experience. Communication was clear and timely from vendor. Marcelo was waiting for us just as planned. Van was very nice and had plenty of room for all of our luggage. This made our arrival stress free and enjoyable. Thanks for the great ride..

Excellent service between Quito and Mindo!
Smooth and excellent experience! Claudia was our driver. She arrived on time and was an efficient and safe driver. She drove us from our hotel in Quito to a hotel in Mindo. She later picked us up and took us to Quito's airport from Mindo. I would absolutely use their service again!
Response from the operator: Starting this year, Claudia, who has always been part of our partners, has started to drive our vehicles and she does it in an excellent way. We hope that our female clients will continue to support Claudia's work.

Fantastif service from Jorge, will definitely use again the next time we are in Ecuador
My partner and I used Jorge Villarruel's excellent Tourexpress & Transfers service to get from Otavalo directly to Mindo. In the past 20 years, I have visited Ecuador on a regular basis and have always used public transportation for travel. This can be time consuming at times due to the many terminals scattered in Quito, the laid-back approach of bus operators, and unexpected issues that often happen on the way (flat tires, landslides, road work etc'). While planning our current trip it became clear that we were pressed for time getting out of Otavalo on a weekend and traveling to Mindo, where we would only have a day and a half to explore. Instead of traveling by bus back to Quito, switching terminals and then traveling to Mindo on another bus, I decided to book a private shuttle for the drive and contacted Jorge. He was very informative and accommodated my request without issues. The cost was $100 which I found to be very reasonable. On the day of the trip he immediately located us and was ready to go without delays. We were welcomed into a clean car with fresh water bottles available for us for the duration of the trip. The ride was beautiful, relaxing, and most important - safe. He even accommodated my request to make a short stop at Mitad del Mundo on the way so my partner can snap a photo. In Mindo he brought us to the doorstep of our next hostel. Perfect and flawless service. We are very happy that we had the privilege to enjoy this service, and it is without doubt that we will use it again the next time we visit Ecuador.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Transfer Quito to Mindo – SUV or Van (1–6): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does Private Transfer Quito to Mindo – SUV or Van (1–6) cost?
+
Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Transfer Quito to Mindo – SUV or Van (1–6) take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is Private Transfer Quito to Mindo – SUV or Van (1–6) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Transfer Quito to Mindo – SUV or Van (1–6)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Transfer Quito to Mindo – SUV or Van (1–6) suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 18. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Transfer Quito to Mindo – SUV or Van (1–6)?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Transfer Quito to Mindo – SUV or Van (1–6) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
