Why Cross Border Transport

Welcome to the peace of mind of travelling safely

Insured passengers, a modern fleet, strict hygiene protocols and a committed team. The reasons our passengers come back are the same reasons their clinics recommend us.

Insured passengers, licensed operation

Cross Border Transport LLC operates on both sides of the line with full passenger insurance coverage on every trip. You are not riding with a rideshare driver improvising a border crossing.

Logistics built around your appointment, not our schedule

We plan the pickup backwards from your surgery, consultation or flight, and we build the border wait into the plan instead of discovering it. That is why our passengers arrive early, not apologetic.

Strict hygiene protocols between every service

Cabin, handles, seat belts and armrests are disinfected between passengers, and the vehicle is deep-cleaned daily. It matters more than usual when the person in the back seat is healing from a procedure.

A modern fleet chosen for post-operative comfort

Toyota Sienna vans with low step-in height, wide sliding doors, room to recline and a suspension that does not punish a fresh incision on Mexican pavement.

A committed team, not a rotating pool of strangers

Trained bilingual drivers who help with luggage, walk you to the clinic entrance and wait until someone from the medical staff receives you. Dispatch answers on WhatsApp in minutes.

Published fares and clear written conditions

Every route has a price you can read before booking, a 50% deposit online and the balance after the service. Waiting time, out-of-hours service and border-line charges are all written in the terms, not improvised at the door.

How it works

Six steps, and you can see every one of them

No meters, no vague conditions and no surprise charges at the door. This is the sequence every reservation follows, from the moment you choose a route to the moment the clinic receives you.

01

1 · Choose your route and service

Pick the direction you are travelling — San Ysidro, San Diego, the airport or inside Tijuana — and whether you need the Premium or the Premium Medical service. Each option shows its published fare.

02

2 · Pick the date and time

Reservations open up to six months ahead. Choose the hour your clinic or airline gave you; we work backwards from it to set the pickup.

03

3 · Give us both addresses

Pick-up address and drop-off address are required: hotel, home, terminal, clinic or recovery house. Add the flight number or the surgeon's name if you have them.

04

4 · Pay the 50% deposit

A secure card payment reserves the vehicle and the driver for your window. The remaining balance is settled after the service is completed.

05

5 · Get your confirmation

You receive the confirmation by email, SMS and WhatsApp with the driver's details and the dispatch number you can write to at any hour.

06

6 · We take it from there

The driver arrives ahead of the window, helps with luggage, crosses with you and does not leave until the clinic, the hotel or the terminal has received you.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

The questions we answer on the phone every week, written down.

Travelling in the next 24 hours?

Same-day transportation is handled by dispatch directly. Message +1 (619) 752-0681 on WhatsApp and we will tell you in minutes whether a unit is available.

FAQ

Published one-way fares start at $90 USD from San Ysidro to Tijuana and $105 USD from San Diego, including the airport, for the patient plus one companion. Premium Medical Transportation, which includes the Medical Lane pass on the northbound return, starts at $120 USD one way. Round trips and group quotes are on our rates page.

The published fare covers the patient plus one companion in a private vehicle — nobody else is added to your trip. For three or more passengers call +1 (619) 752-0681 or +52 (663) 324-9475 and we will quote the group rate before you book.

As early as you have your appointment. The booking calendar accepts reservations up to six months ahead, and early-morning surgery windows fill first. Same-day requests are handled through WhatsApp whenever a unit is available.

No. A 50% deposit is charged securely online to reserve the vehicle and the driver; the remaining balance is settled once the service is completed. The full amount must be cleared before the transport begins.

Southbound into Tijuana is usually minutes. Northbound is the slow direction: the regular lane includes one hour of waiting in the fare, and additional waiting is charged at $15 USD per hour. The Medical Lane pass, included in Premium Medical Transportation, shortens that wait dramatically.

Tell dispatch as soon as you know. We track flights and we hold a 30-minute courtesy wait at every pickup. Beyond that, waiting is billed at $15 USD per additional 30 minutes, and if another reservation is already scheduled that client takes priority.

What the Medical Lane Pass Actually Does (and When It Is Worth Buying)

It is not a shortcut you talk your way into at the gate. It is a documented authorization that moves your vehicle into an expedited lane — and on the right day it is the single best thing you can buy for a post-operative trip.
