Local Tips

  • The Hotel Zone is just 4 km from the airport — most rides are under 15 minutes.
  • Sayulita and San Pancho are charming surf/hippie villages 45 min north.
  • Mexico uses MXN (Peso) — Uber accepts card payment directly.
  • NEVER accept timeshare 'free transport' offers in arrivals — these are sales pitches.
  • Mexican airport taxi surcharges are real — use the app or pre-pay at the official taxi booth, refuse curbside negotiations.
