Local Transportation

Taxis

For long distances, taxis or local buses are available and are the most economic options. Fares are fixes and taxis have no meters. All taxi fares have a surcharge of 50% at night (from midnight to 6 a.m.).You may hire a local taxi to take you back to the Airport. (You may NOT hire them the other way around, they are not allow to do so by law).

Local Bus

Bus service (services from 6 a.m. 'till 11 p.m.). There is a bus service between Ixtapa and Zihuatanejo and to other nearby places. It's by far the cheapest way to move around. The services to and from run about every 20 min.

In Ixtapa the bus stops for Zihuatanejo are located all along the Boulevard, almost in front of every hotel's entrance on the strip. From Zihuatanejo to Ixtapa, they are along Ave. Morelos; look for bus signs that say IXTAPA and IXTAPA BULEVAR or you might go on another direction. Most of the time the drivers are very friendly and they will be glad to help you with their very limited English.

There are also Peseras (Van-bus) that move the people to the suburban neighborhoods and country towns (prices vary according to the route and distance).
