Puerto Vallarta Cruise Ship Terminal taxi services are plentiful.  Before you even disembark your ship, drivers will have lined up all around the docks and marina area. 

 

Puerto Vallarta taxis are regulated, but you wouldn't know it, as prices are not posted and they don't use meters. Negotiate the fare for your journey before you get in.

 

The official taxis lined up inside the port gates are referred to as Federal Zone cabs.

 Port of Puerto Vallarta Cruise Terminal Taxi Scams


Be skeptical of tips from taxi drivers on where to shop or eat, as they will be getting a commission or kickback.

 

If a taxi driver tells you he doesn't know where a pace is, or says that it is no good, or even closed, take another cab.

 

There are even some reports of taxi drivers taking people to different places than requested. If your driver takes you somewhere other than you requested, it's OK, and encouraged, to speak to the police (police officers in town speak English).
