Depending where you live, a plane for me would be the best way to get to PVR.....for most people it would be. As for getting around PV, I would say the city bus or Cabs. the Bus is very inexpensive. For Cabs, make sure before you get in the cab to ask how much it will be. ( ex: to go from the Marina to Downtown, it costs 40-45 pesos. ) dont pay any more than that ....or they are ripping you off.

Unless you plan to travel great distances or visit remote beaches, taxis and buses are by far the best way to get around. Taxis are plentiful, clean and reliable, and fares are reasonable and fixed (always ask what your fare will be before you get in). Taxis are usually lined up in front of most hotels (as well as downtown and at the airport) and if they aren't, your concierge will summon one for you (the cost range from $30 pesos/$2.50 USD to $90 pesos/$9.00 USD). You can also rent a taxi for a couple hours at around 150 pesos per hour. This is a great way to see the area. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 Royal Decameron Cabbie by jamiesno When in Peurto Vallarta the cab fares are all in zones. For example from the Royal Decameron Complex in Bucerias to downtown Peurto Vallarta, it is 150 Pesos but the fact of the matter is pertend not to want a cab and one or two bored cabbies will bring you there for 100. It's the same thing trying to get back to Bucerias from PV. It's like everything else in Mexcio:.....NEGOTIABLE!! :-) Leave a Comment

HERE'S A HINT TO SAVE SOME MONEY RIGHT OFF THE PLANE. DO NOT USE THE TAXI DRIVERS OUTSIDE THE EXIT DOOR. GO THROUGH THE EXIT THEN MAKE A LEFT GO OVER THE FOOT BRIDGE TO OTHER SIDE OF THE STREET AND GET YOURSELF A DRIVER THERE. MUCH CHEAPER. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

by Skye_Miles Taxis are available 24 hours a day so not to worry if you are out at a disco, realize it is 5am and wondor how you will get back to your hotel. The prices for the taxis are set by zones so it depends on how many zones you cross over as to the cost. Bellboys always know the CORRECT charge from Point A to Point B and also, most hotels have the prices posted in the lobby. A minimum charge will be 20 pesos. Four people per taxi and price is per taxi, not per person. In Nuevo Vallarta there are numerous suburban taxis but not in Puerto Vallarta. There is only one taxi company in Puerto Vallarta and they are all yellow taxis. Always make sure you know the price of the taxi before you take off. I would not recommend tipping a taxi driver unless he goes above and beyond the call of duty (assisting with bags, waiting-and-or-stopping for you.) Their prices increase continually so no need to tip. It is important to remember that the price FROM the airport to your hotel will be more than when you return to the airport. This is because these taxis, the airport taxis, are in a FEDERAL zone, thus higher prices. I encourage tipping airport taxi drivers. They are much more helpful with luggage and information than the yellow taxis. The white taxis in the marina are also higher - this too is a federal zone. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

 waiting for our taxi by Mindy_J Before you even get into a taxi state your price. Don't let them tell you that it is more for more people (unless a van taxi). They have city set rates, but they will try & get you for a few bucks more. Your hotel should have the set rates at the front desk or with the bellhops. The taxis are SMALL due to shallow streets. max of 4 guests per car. Taxis are also more leaving the airport, but there are more than one company. Pit them against themselves & get the best offer. We paid 6 dollars less than anyone else in our taxi van. Theme: Car/Motor Home

We have long journeyed over the walking bridge across from the airport to avoid the added "airport" charge on top of our fare. BUT the taxi drivers have decided to rip-off the unaware. The published zone fee from this spot to Vallarta Centro and less to the "hotel zone" should be about 80 pesos. These drivers are trying to charge the unaware 150 to 200 pesos. Don't go for it. Just go back across the bridge and pay the same LEGALLY! If enough of us don't pay the rip-off fee they will go back to a fair and legal fee. Theme: Other

by Skye_Miles You may call a taxi from your hotel that will take you around the city. Before entering the taxi, ask the driver what the fare will be to your destination, and if it isn't close to the guide lines on this page, go to another taxi. Taxi fares in are usually set by zone. Since the lines between zones aren't clearly defined, agree on a rate before hand. Hotels usually post rates. They range between 10-20 pesos for destinations inside the city limits. (That's between $1.50 and $3.00 US). Fares are posted in most major hotels and around town. Taxi drivers have been known to fudge on the fares. Just ask 'Cuanto cuesta......?' Tips are not expected. With more than 1,000 taxis buzzing around Vallarta, they are a fast, economical and convenient way to get around. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

The bus system in PV is very good indeed. About 15 -30 pesos to get where your going and you can flag them down anywhere on their path. Just watch out they dont hit you as they drive crazy like everyone else. Also avoid begger children and singing clowns on the bus. Leave a Comment Theme: Bus
