Getting around in Los Cabos by taxi is easy! Here are the ins and outs of taxi travel in the area.

From the airport

A shared shuttle from the San Jose International Airport is around $12 US to San Jose and $14 US to Cabo San Lucas. They are readily available right outside the airport. A good rule of thumb for tipping the taxi drivers is about $1.00 to $2.00 USD per bag.

City Taxis

In Los Cabos the taxis are vans (green, blue or white in color) that can transport up to nine people. The cost is set by zone, and is the same for up to four people. There is an additional per person charge after four passengers.

Taxis are just about everywhere, on almost every street corner.

Taxi drivers are quite congenial people, many speaking very good English. If you have an uncommon destination, it may help to have the address to show the driver.

It is not expected to tip a taxi driver unless they transport your luggage or go out of their way to please you.

Taxi prices are set by zone, but some drivers are known to inflate the price. Always ask the fare before getting into a taxi. You can also ask the concierge or bell boy at the hotel for the cost, and many hotels have the fare from the hotel to points of interest posted near the bell stand. Taxis in Los Cabos do not have meters.
