Should I get a Taxi or Rent a Car?

Personally, I think getting a taxi in Loreto is the best option if you don't plan on driving hundreds of miles. Even though using taxis would cost $35 per day to drive into the city and back, which equals $245.00 per week (chances are you won't drive into the city of Loreto every day).

​

And if you get into an accident the taxi driver has to deal with it now and NOT YOU!

​

Getting a rental car is another option and it sounds cheap at first, but the insurance and taxes are something to consider. Advertised prices are not usually inclusive of everything you need to walk out of the rental agency with keys. 

​

Another benefit of getting a taxi in Loreto, is you can have a designated driver! After going to town and filling up on Margaritas, its nice to know that you don't have to drive home. Pay for a taxi in Loreto and don't drink and drive. A margarita tastes better knowing you don't have to drive later.

How To Pay For A Taxi  In Loreto?

No credit cards accepted by taxi drivers in Loreto, just cash. The taxi drivers in Loreto seem to prefer Pesos over US dollars. If you pay with USD, the taxi driver may refuse them if the dollars are torn, ripped, damaged or have marks on them. If they do accept US Dollars, it will be at a bad exchange rate. Pesos are easier, so if you plan on getting a taxi in Loreto, bring some pesos or hit an ATM.

Loreto Taxi Tips

Tipping your taxi driver in Loreto is customary.  A dollar or two is just fine. Based on service you can choose to tip the taxi driver more or less. You will probably run into the same Loreto taxi drivers, so treat them well from the start and they will treat you well back. You can also ask for a business card to call and pick you up, especially useful when the taxi stand at Loreto Bay is empty.
