Gecko FAQS
Is It Necessary To Rent A Car In Puerto Vallarta?
Excellent question! The answer depends on how you’d like to spend your time. Do you want the freedom to explore the area? Make the most of your time in the bay? Save money by avoiding expensive airport taxi fares?
If your rental period starts on the day you arrive in PV, we offer transportation to our office. For rentals of three days or more, the rate already includes airport pick-up for up to three people. If you keep the vehicle until your departure date, a ride back to the airport is also included. When you factor in the time and money you’ll save, renting a car starts to make even more sense.
Other points to consider: Am I staying close to town? How far is the walk to public transportation? Are taxis expensive where I’m staying?
Overall, Puerto Vallarta’s buses are consistent and reliable, but they take a long time to cover distances. This can make traveling to and from the beach uncomfortable-especially if you’re carrying an umbrella, cooler, beach chairs, etc.
If you’re staying in Punta de Mita or nearby areas, taxis tend to be significantly more expensive than in other parts of the bay, as it is distant and popular destination. Having a rental vehicle gives you much more freedom to explore different areas. After all, the goal is to go where you want, when you want.
Finally, don’t miss the chance to visit Bucerias, La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Punta Mita, Sayulita, San Pancho, Lo de Marcos, Guayabitos, Los Ayala, San Blas, and more!
So go ahead-rent a car and enjoy all the beaches, food, and landscapes that the nearby towns have to offer!
Do The Rates Include Taxes And Insurances?
As a rule, all our car rental quotes feature ‘out-the-door’ pricing with no hidden or additional fees upon return.
Do I Have Full Insurance Coverage? And Is There a Deductible?
All our vehicles include full-coverage insurance, which is renewed annually. As a result, our rates are all-inclusive. However, a deductible applies, and the amount depends on the vehicle you rent.
The deductible is placed on hold on your account until the vehicle is returned. Upon returning the rental car, the payment is processed, and the deposit can either be canceled or applied toward the rental payment/provided the car is returned without damage and you choose to pay with the same credit card.
***(Upon return, the payment is processed, and the deposit can be canceled or applied to the rental if there’s no damage and you choose to pay with the same credit card).
