My nephew is flying into PV on Jan 31. He won't be leaving the PV airport until around 4:30 or 5 PM. I have read the past history of getting a taxi across the street, but wonder what the rate is from the PV airport so he has some bargaining idea. Also someone told me it is not safe to drive after dark. I felt fine about it but now I wonder. What do others think about this? If he leaves at 5 he would be here around 8:15 PM.

My friend Miguel Garcia is an English-speaking licensed and insured taxi driver. He drives between Tomatlan and Puerto Vallarta daily. He has a new, air-conditioned 10 passenger van.
I inquired of him the cost to drive to La Manzanilla from Puerto Vallarta. His price is $2,800 pesos. In U.S. dollars at the current exchange rate that is approximately $130, the same amount I paid 5 years ago. He told me that if you can find other riders the price will remain the same and the riders can split the cost. As the van is very big, there will be room for plenty of luggage.
