I would tell her to buy a ticket from the taxi counter, right outside the door on arrivals. She can pay in dollars with a pote Italy bad exchange rate, they have it posted. Pay with a credit card, they charge you the fee that the banks charges, I think 3%, or get pesos in any of the atms and pay in pesos.

As far as tipping, up to her. If they help with the luggage, I would.

Enjoy your time it’s her!

No. Only Transporte Terrestre is allowed to pick you up at the airport. Pedro takes us TO the airport and anywhere else we want to go.

Can't they pick you up after you walk outside the parking lot by the combis?

That's not cool.

You can get an Alaska Airlines Credit Card cash advance from any ATM. A cash advance PIN will be required, and you can obtain it by calling customer service at 800-432-1000. You can also request a cash advance in-person at a local Bank of America branch.
An Alaska Airlines Credit Card is a very expensive transaction though. There’s a 5% cash advance fee with a $10 minimum charge on all transactions. If you do a cash advance from a non-Bank of America ATM, you may face an additional ATM charge.
Also, cash advances are subject to interest charges at the cash advance APR. The interest compounds daily, which means interest charges apply every day on top of both the previous days’ interest and the principal balance.
With this said, it's best to only use your credit card for cash advances in emergency situations

If you’re getting cash this way, you may want to get a debit card from your bank.

Considering the $95 annual fee, it does give you that benefit.

My daughter will be flying down to meet me on Playa Ropa after missing the last 3 years. In the past, I always let her know in advance how many pesos she’ll need for the private taxi ride from the airport. (I see it’s currently posted as $680). She makes sure to have the correct peso amount, but has said that the drivers often tell her they prefer US dollars. (What would the US dollar amount be these days?) Also, they ask for a tip after she pays them. This message board seems to encourage the use of pesos over dollars in general, as well as not expecting to tip on simple taxi rides. What shall I tell her?

DON'T pay in dollars! And do NOT tip them unless they actually do something besides driving the car to your destination without getting you killed.

Why do you seem adamant about not tipping unless they do something extra?
For the first time I had a woman taxi driver take me 'home'?
I guess I got carried away. I tipped her simply because she smiled at my jokes...

Do NOT use a credit card. It will be treated as a cash advance and accrue interest on the entire balance from day one. Only use a DEBIT card at ATMs.

I use a credit card because I don't have a debit card. I always pay my total bill upon receipt, so there's no interest charged.
