Crown Taxi & Remisse: private transfers and tours in Peru

Crown Taxi & Remisse is a family-run company based in Lima that has been operating since 2013 in the private transport and tourism sector. It presents itself as specializing in transfers to Jorge Chávez International Airport and the Callao cruise port, as well as circuits and excursions in different regions of the country. The company states that its vehicles are RUC-registered and carry private insurance, and that its drivers are vetted professionals.

Fixed-rate transfers and flight tracking

The transfer service is offered at a fixed price per vehicle, not per passenger, with no surge pricing, meter, or hidden charges. The rate includes waiting time of up to one hour, parking, and delays due to flight or cruise. The company tracks flights in real time to adjust the pickup if the plane arrives earlier or later than expected, at no additional cost. The driver waits with a sign bearing the passenger's name inside the arrivals terminal at Lima Airport or on the sidewalk at the Port of Callao.

The advertised fleet includes a Renault Master van for private use, with capacity for 1 to 7 passengers and up to 7 large suitcases, air conditioning, bottled water, and onboard Wi-Fi. The company offers child seats and boosters at no cost if requested in advance. The drivers speak English, Spanish, French, and Italian.

Published rates for frequent destinations

The website shows a list of indicative rates from Lima Airport: Miraflores from $40 and about 45 minutes; Barranco from $45 and about 50 minutes; San Isidro from $45 and about 45 minutes; Surco and Monterrico from $60 and about 55 minutes; and the Callao cruise port from $35 and about 20 minutes. The company states that these rates are for the entire vehicle and that the final price is confirmed before the trip.

Booking and how the service works

The booking process begins with a quote request via WhatsApp, in which the customer provides flight, date, and destination. The company responds with a fixed price within minutes and does not require payment to issue the quote. Once accepted, a secure payment link is sent and a named driver is assigned. Card payment is made only after the quote is approved. The company declares availability 24 hours a day, every day, for night flights and dawn departures.

Tours and excursions from Lima and Callao

In addition to transfers, Crown Taxi & Remisse offers private excursions and one-, two-, or three-day circuits between Lima, Paracas, Ica, and Nazca. Among the options are the Ballestas Islands, the desert oasis and dune buggy ride, with pickup at the Port of Callao; a tour of Lima's historic center, the San Francisco catacombs, and the Plaza Mayor; and a visit to the Larco Museum followed by Barranco and its cliffs at sunset. For cruise passengers, the company offers private excursions with guaranteed return before the ship departs, with no shared buses. It also organizes circuits in northern and southern Peru, and multi-day trips to Machu Picchu and Cusco, Nazca and Paracas, through its sister company Crown Travel.
