Going from one place to the other is a very simple activity in Acapulco, if you consider that the city is crossed by a large coastal avenue that bears the name of Miguel Aleman on its central part, Escenica (Scenic) Highway in the east, and Lopez Mateo on the west side.

Taxis are the most used means of transportation in Acapulco and the most practical as well. Their rates are reasonable and they do not use taximeters, so you need to agree to the price before getting into the vehicle (it is advisable to ask reliable people about the approximate cost of the service).
Besides the units that come and go through the city all day long, which can be boarded at any corner, there are other taxi modalities in Acapulco, such as:

• Collective Taxis: Their route is the Miguel Aleman Coastal Avenue. The units depart when the seats are all taken, and since they stop many times on the way, it takes longer than with a conventional cab. They have a flat price regardless of the distance travelled.



• Taxis parked at the hotels: They are more expensive than the common cabs, especially if you are going to the airport. They usually have flat fees for most of the tourist attractions. They can be hired for hours or for the day, and in these cases it is better to negotiate the price before getting into the vehicle.
