RENT A CAR! While you can take a taxi, it's a fairly expensive proposition, costing as much as, if not more, than renting a car, each way, and you'd need to trust your taxi driver would return for you at the appointed time and date, as there are no stand-by taxis in Cabo Pulmo for the return. We suggest you rent a car at the airport for the duration of your stay as it will cost less and offer flexibility. All major car rental companies offer rentals of all types right at the airport. We use a website at www.travelnow.com, go to the Rental Car icon, enter SJD (Los Cabos airport code) and up domes a complete list of all the cars available to rent, prices, amenities and companies. You can book your rental car with travelnow.com, with an agent in the USA or directly with the rental company. We recommend you take a hard-copy confirmation of your rental with you. Air conditioned cars are not necessary in winter and early spring but are a must during hot months. Rates vary widely, so compare the BASE rates, without taxes and insurance. Save on collission and comp insurance by using a Cold or Platimum credit card that includes collision and comp insurance in Mexico. You MUST purchase Mexican liability insurance for your rental car from the rental car company in order to be covered in Mexico. Your USA insurance or credit card insurance will NOT cover you.
