airport taxis

It was just a question. I have heard it being done but never tried it. I support everything local. This is our 31st year coming to the area. Each year its 3-5 weeks. My wife arrived last Wednesday and informed me that pesos i gave her for the taxi to Ixtapa hotel was not $680 as shown on the website rather she said it was $550. I am arriving Sunday for 3+ weeks split between Ixtapa and LaRopa. The changes overall and different restaurant owners have been amazing in 31 years. It is truly paradise as Rob says.

Depending on your destination, it can be a savings of far more than $200 pesos.

I have done this transportation at least three ways, depending on what time I arrive, where I am going, and what I am carrying.

No doubt getting a Transporte Terrestre is the easiest and fastest. It is also the most expensive, but after a day or more of traveling, easy and fast can be appealing.

At the other extreme, when I have arrived with only carryon or a reasonable suitcase, and my destination has been Zihuatanejo, I have walked across the lot and hopped on a combi. Or if I wanted to do a bit of shopping before going to Troncones I would take a combi, do my shopping, then get a taxi to Troncones.

A few occasions, as I have been waiting for a combi, a taxi driver would ask if I wanted a taxi. If I liked the fare, I would take it. The TT fare to Troncones is ~M$1,400. I have agreed to M$800 with a city taxi, more if I wanted to stop for groceries.

I hope you are not travelling Wednesday. Supposed to be no taxis or combis anywhere. Not sure about Terestre at the airport. If so, hope you can find someone with a car.

Our cabbie tonight, (Tuesday) said everything will be back to normal on Wednesday. Who knows?
