Request the full charge for that destination and your whole party. Ask whether the quote is per person or for the vehicle, whether it is one way, and what applies to extra luggage or requested stops. For Uber, enter the property before comparing the current ride options and estimates. [source]
Arrange an Infini transfer

Find your ride after landing

Prepare your phone with the SIM and eSIM comparison. The Uber guide explains the ride checks and how to prepare a return request.
Plan around the flight and your first city visit
Infini’s listing estimates about 45 minutes to San Salvador without traffic and notes that early-morning traffic can lengthen the drive. [source] Treat that as an estimate for the drive. Leave separate time for arrival formalities, collecting your bags and meeting the driver.
For a late flight, ask the provider to accept your arrival time and explain how a delay, date change or waiting charge would be handled. Keep the answer with the booking. For an Uber request, wait for the driver details that confirm acceptance. [source]
Plan sightseeing after checking in. The San Salvador guide covers the historic center and museums. The five-day city-and-coast itinerary helps you fit the capital into a longer visit.
Arrange the next part of the trip
For an airport return, agree on the accommodation pickup using your airline’s check-in instructions. If using Uber to SAL, check the terminal or airline selected in the app. [source]
If you plan to drive beyond the capital, read the car-rental guide and compare the airport contact in the car-rental directory. If your first stay is on the coast, use the airport-to-El Tunco route when choosing the transfer. Return to Getting around El Salvador to plan onward travel.
