Getting Around Cabo
From the Airport
The same airport that serves Cabo San Lucas serves San Jose del Cabo, although it is closer to San Jose del Cabo. Land transport is available from the airport into town, or you can take a taxi (which can be shared). If you want to rent a car in Cabo San Lucas, agencies have desks inside the main terminal building. Booking in advance is likely to save you money.
Local Buses
Local buses are available and you'll need to take one or taxi travel from Cabo San Lucas to nearby San Jose del Cabo; but just about all of Cabo San Lucas is accessible on foot.
Taxis
Taxis are widely available, but not metered, so agree your price before you get in. If you speak Spanish, you will have a distinct advantage and be able to negotiate a better price. Another good reason to Learn Spanish!
Rent a Car
If you want to see all of the amazing beaches and scenery which reside within a short car ride of Cabo San Lucas, your best bet is to rent a car. This is the most flexible way to see the area and will enable you to explore other areas more efficiently, for example Todos Santos and La Paz. See the Mexperience Travel Center for details about Car Rental in Cabo San Lucas. See additional information about Driving in Mexico and Mexico's Toll Roads on Mexperience.
By Local Bus
If your budget is tight or if you want to see more of local life, local buses do run frequently connecting La Paz, Los Cabos and Todos Santos as well as other destinations further north such as Loreto, San Felipe and other destinations in Baja California.
