Default Airport Taxi

We are heading to Temptation with another couple in a few weeks. In the past, we have traveled alone and always took a Grayline shuttle to the resort. This time, since there are 4 of us, we are considering taking a taxi from the airport. Where do you hire the taxi, in the airport or after you exit the airport? Is it that last desk area in the center, right before leaving the airport terminal?

Thanks

We generally just walk out of the terminal (3, I think) and head to the Shuttle Desk that is right there, just before you exit out. That's where we book the "taxi / shuttle". If there's 4 of you, you shouldn't have a problem getting a van-type shuttle, although you may have to wait til they fill the van with people before they leave, depending on how busy it is.

We don't bother pre-booking the shuttle before we leave home.

We took a taxi in February and the cost was $45 for 4 adults and luggage. All of the taxis that I saw were either vans or Tahoe size vehicles. $35 back to the airport. Absolutely zero waiting. Just walk out and have the transportation guy call over one of the taxis that are waiting.

What's the best option if it's only 2 of us?

The taxi was very fast and the cost was 45 for 4 people, 25 for the return. We have always used a shuttle in the past, Grayline, which was around 56 roundtrip. For the extra money, I would use a taxi.

25 from resort to airport. It used to be 20 bucks from resort so we only had 20's and up. So it cost me 40 from resort. Lol. Have lower bills on you would be a good plan.

Since it was almost Christmas time i just said merry Christmas , he was happy

Just returned from Temptation yesterday, it was $45 from the airport for us. Just make sure that you ask the triver to take the toll road. It will make the trip to the resort real quick.

Your right , it was 45

The trip through town is always interesting

We have been many times and only went the toll booth way once , my guess is when they have to pay to go through , cuts into profits

We always take the trip through the town also, nice to see how it changes over time.....not much. $40 or $45 depending on quote and you can usually find someone returning at the same time in the lobby that will reduce your return cost.

Do the Airport Shuttle companies make you wait around for an hour waiting on more people or shuffle you to your hotel rather quickly? We arrive about 3pm.

$11 a person from these guys seems almost too cheap!
Cabo San Lucas Airport Shuttle - Los Cabos, San Jose del Cabo

We'd prefer to pre-pay rather than deal with cash transactions at the airport.

I have pre-booked shared shuttles in Cabo for about $60 pp for 2 round trip
I think it was Grayline,, They use small minivans and only take 2 or 3 couples, and you there pretty quick.
When leaving the airport beware of the timeshare people, go straight outside after immigration and meet your shuttle outside.
See you at the pool

We used to take Grayline but we got tired of waiting for others. The wait for us was usually 20+ minutes. We changed to taking a taxi, it is more money but you leave the airport in minutes. We go to Cabo often, paying for a taxi is easy. Also, with a shuttle, you leave the resort really early to return to the airport, where a taxi, it is on your own schedule.

The taxi's I saw at the airport in Nov will not hold 4 people. They are for the most part ford fiesta's or something similar They barely fit 2 and your luggage .Not saying there not any others around, just an Observation. A compromise might be a private van ?? or just winging it, I'm sure you'll figure something out
Have a great trip ,

They have larger taxis (vans) available if needed. We have used a taxi with 4 people several times with no problems.
