Taxis are plentiful wherever you go in Puerto Vallarta. If you're hailing a taxi from your resort, the Bell Boy will assist you. If you are hailing a taxi on your own, be sure to negotiate the price before getting into the taxi. Prices are set throughout town. The only variance is when taking a taxi from the airport, which is more expensive than going to the airport because it's restricted by the government.

Taxi drivers drive very aggressively, but you'll find that almost anywhere that you visit.

Beware of Multi-National car rental companies, they don't quote all mandatory insurances on their websites and the rate will double or even triple when you get to the counter. Areas of interest are a bit spread out and if you want to go out and see all the little villages and country side a car will change your enitre trip (for the better). The driving here is not as bad as most people make it out to be, you just have to know a couple of things before you hit the road: at intersections the left turn lane is on the side road (the lanes on the right side of the highway) and on two lane highways a left signal light tells the person behind you to pass you, if making a left turn on a two lane highway pull off to the right side of the road wait for traffic to clear then make the left, you pretty much always have to make a right to make a left... it sounds funny but will make sense when you see it in action! Parking is hard to find in Down Town PV, they opened an underground parking lot that always has space, it's your best bet, Old Town PV has a lot better parking and you can find a spot pretty easy.
