Should You Rent a Car?

  • You likely won’t need a rental car—Puerto Vallarta has plenty of taxis and Ubers available.
  • Parking can be a challenge in the city, so using local transportation is more convenient for most travelers.

Cash or Card?

  • We suggest withdrawing some cash ahead of time, as some places may offer better prices for cash payments.
  • Most businesses accept both, but a few restaurants and local vendors might be cash-only. It’s a good idea to check before sitting down.
  • The amount of cash to bring depends on your personal preferences and banking policies.
  • Local markets and small shops often prefer or require cash.

Taxis and Uber

  • Uber: A reliable choice with competitive pricing. You can use the Uber app in most areas of the city.
  • Taxis:
    • Many taxis use meters that calculate your fare based on time and distance. Be sure the meter is turned on when your ride begins.
    • In some areas, fixed rates may apply depending on the destination zone. These rates are usually known in advance.
    • To avoid surprises, always confirm the fare with the driver before starting your trip, especially if no meter is present.
