Taxi Rates

Can you tell me if the taxi rates that you have posted on this site are up to date or has there been an increase since last year?

There has been NO authorized increase. You need to insist on paying only the authorized rate. They'll show you a rate sheet with rubber ink stamps on it from their sindicato (union) office in an attempt to fool you. Those stamps are meaningless. Only the Delegado de Transporte Público for the Estado de Guerrero can authorize an increase, and they have not done so. You can report taxis that attempt to overcharge you to their local office (phone numbers at the link below) and to Profeco (a federal consumer protection agency). Usually simply threatening to do so is enough to straighten out the matter.

Taxis from hotel and beach sitios (taxi stands) are apparently allowed to overcharge, though it's usually only about 5 or 10 pesos. You can always call for a taxi and also only pay 5 pesos more than the official rate. Be sure to confirm the rate when you call.
