Expat Services in Guatemala

Communication can be very difficult in Guatemala. Though Guatemalan Spanish is relatively clear compared to other accents, the social and economic differences (not to mention the constant danger) make it difficult to get both straight answers and know who to trust. Use our concierge expat services for peace of mind and more free time!

Bill Pay Services

Our most popular service, by far! Don't want to run around waiting in lines, paying your bills? We'll handle all of that for you.

How it works: When you get a bill, send us the money by Paypal. We'll go to the bank, pay it, and send you a receipt. What is YOUR time worth?

Companies covered: All major phone companies, electric, water, you name it - we'll even charge your cell phone!

Flat monthly rate - $25

Cell Phone Services

Great for short visits or those just arriving in Guatemala! You could go wait in line for your own cell phone and have a "cultural" experience, but is that really what you want to do first thing in Guatemala?

Airport Pickup/Dropoff

If you've lived in Guatemala very long, you know that the financial cost is not that much to get to the Guatemala City airport in a taxi, but think about the process:

• Call Taxi Amarillo
• Wait 15 minutes (or 3 hours...)
• Try to fit all your luggage in the little taxi
• Oops! It doesn't fit (wait 30 minutes for a second taxi)
• Try to stay semi-clean in the back of the cab
• Struggle to get your luggage in the airport
• Find out you missed your flight waiting on the cab

We offer door-to-door service with our airport pick up and drop off service. How does this sound?

• Schedule your pickup a few days in advance
• Your ride arrives on time (or even a little early)
• Relaxing roomy ride to or from the airport
• Plenty of space for your luggage
• Luggage carried all the way to check-in or hotel
• Get to the gate or destination relaxed (except for security!)
