Best Pickup Location at the Border in Tijuana

Updated: April 22nd, 2023

If you’re planning on crossing the border between the United States and Tijuana, you might be wondering about the best place to meet your private driver in Tijuana.

PedEast

PedEast – Garita de San Ysidro (open 24/7 in both directions)

We recommend using the PedEast pedestrian border crossing station, also known as the “Garita de San Ysidro”. (Who said learning Spanish can’t be fun? You’re already mastering border crossing vocabulary!)

Why PedEast? For starters, it’s open 24/7 in both directions, making it a convenient choice no matter what time you cross the border. PedWest, on the other hand, is only open for northbound pedestrian traffic from 6am to 2pm.

To get to PedEast, head to 795 E San Ysidro Blvd, San Diego, CA 92173. Google Map: https://goo.gl/maps/3Qnf3qojUn8eEUbc8

The PedEast station is just steps away from the San Ysidro Trolley Station, and you can find nearby parking at Premium Parking, International Parking, and Laz Parking.

Once you’ve crossed the border into Tijuana, your private driver will be waiting to pick you up at the ROMA Pharmacy, located right across the street from the PedEast station. Give your driver a call, and they’ll be there to transport you wherever you need to go.

If you’re crossing from Mexico to the US and prefer to use the PedWest station, that’s also an option. However, please note that the station is only open from 6am to 2pm.

This is our favorite border crossing station for picking up passengers on the Tijuana side, the reason being that, once you cross the border there is a well designed and secure boarding area (yes, there are some well designed things in Tijuana) so once you cross the border, the car will be either waiting for you right there, or just meters away, with your driver waiting for your call, to come pick you up.

You have to walk across the border, following the signs all the way to Tijuana. Once on the mexican side, you will see large colorful “Tijuana” and “Mexico” signs. That boarding area is called “El Chaparral”, you can get the exact pickup location in Google Maps:
