Transportation From The Airport

Once you arrive at the Gustavo Díaz Ordaz International Airport, you'll find several ways to get to your resort. Official airport taxis are white-and-yellow taxis found outside the terminal. Fares are fixed depending on your destination zone, but expect to pay between $10 and $30 DLS. 

Lastly, renting a car gives you total freedom to explore; make sure to get full coverage insurance and familiarize yourself with local driving customs.
