Considering the Balboa Towers Hotel in Mazatlán?

Souped up golf carts by Avryle
Taxis are a fast an inexpensive way to get around Mazatlan. They can be hailed just about anywhere. Since there are no meters in the cabs be sure to agree on a price prior to getting in. If the driver won't reduce his price, simply wait for another cab. One will usually pass within 10 seconds. There are 3 different types that cruise the streets:

Knowing how to negotiate in Spanish can help you get a better price since most think a tourist don't know any better and will charge a higher price. Trips from the Zona Dorada to El Centro should cost around 30 pesos, and trips within the Zona Dorada will usually run about 20 pesos.

Looking like souped-up golf carts, pulmonias can be bit more expensive than the Eco-taxis, but they're a lot more common and give an entertaining ride. Mine happened to have a speaker box with 2 6X9s and 2 12' sub-woofers crammed beneath the dash. The driver was bumpin' Shaggy all the way into town. Needless to say, we got lots of looks especially at spot lights. Pulmonia can carry 3-5 passengers.

Eco-taxis look like normal cabs and are better suited for getting to the airport, or driving at night. For some unknown reason, these are usually cheaper than pulmonias.

If you're travelling in large groups, this is the only way to get around the city. Affectionately referred to as 'cattle carts', camions are red pickup trucks with a tarp roof and two rows of benches in the back. These vehicles can carry up to 8 people and will usually charge as much as a eco-taxi.
