Question

How do we get to Mexico?

Answer

Depending on where you're coming from, you have several options to get to Mexico: 🚗 Drive: Use your personal or rental car to drive into Mexico (taking the I-5 south to cross the border). 🚕 Arranged Transportation: Book scheduled driver services from San Diego. ✈️ Fly: There are direct flights into Tijuana International Airport (TIJ). For more details on driving, arranged transportation, or flights, please check the Travel & Accommodations tab.

Question

What can i expect crossing the border?

Answer

If you plan to drive to Mexico for the wedding, here's what you can expect crossing the border (there and back): 🇲🇽 Into Mexico Crossing into Mexico is typically quick and hassle-free, as there usually isn't a wait. You may be asked to show your passport, but in most cases, there are no extensive screenings or delays. If you’re driving, you may need to stop for a brief inspection. 🇺🇸 Back to the U.S. Returning to the U.S. can take significantly longer, especially on Sundays when weekend travelers head home. Wait times at the border can stretch for hours, so we recommend leaving early Sunday morning or avoiding the rush altogether by heading back on Monday when lines are much shorter. Be sure to have your passport ready, and if driving, prepare for possible inspections.

Question

Where can we stay?

Answer

You have a few options for accommodations, depending on your preference: 🏨 Hotels: Several hotels are nearby, most within a 20-minute drive. 🏡 Airbnb: To keep travel costs down, we highly recommend booking an Airbnb with friends or family. For more details on nearby hotels and Airbnbs, please check the Travel & Accommodations tab.
