What CBX and border clients say — 5.0 ★ across 54 Google reviews
“My wife, family, and friends have been traveling to the border for almost 20 years. We discovered Elite Green two years ago, and I've had no other service since then. We've engaged their services to Los Angeles, Orange County, as well as CBX. Never once has there been a concern about safety, accuracy, due diligence.”
“I've ridden with this transportation service multiple times, and they have consistently been reliable. They're always on time, communication is excellent, and every ride has been comfortable.”

Why it beats Uber Black
EGT prices CBX as a flat rate locked at booking — a guaranteed luxury EV and a professional driver instead of whatever Uber Black sends, with one difference: EGT never surges. CBX trips cluster around flight banks and peak travel times — exactly when rideshare surges. Uber Black surges; EGT stays fixed, and you already know your car, your driver, and your price.
Straight talk
If Uber Black happens to be at base rate when you book and you don't mind the uncertainty, the price is similar — take whichever you prefer. EGT's edge is the guarantee: locked price, known vehicle, flight tracking, and no surprise surge at the worst possible moment.
Important: US-side terminal, no Mexico driving
EGT drops you and picks you up at the CBX terminal in Otay Mesa on the US side. From there you walk the enclosed pedestrian bridge directly into Tijuana International Airport (TIJ) — ideal for Volaris, VivaAerobus, and Aeromexico flights. EGT does not drive into Mexico; service is the US-side terminal only.
