There are a tons of options once you land in Puerto Vallarta. If you are going to want to be mobile, renting a car is a great idea. Taxis and car services are also very prevalent. Either way, you are going to want to stop at the Mega (Mexican version of Walmart) and stock up on booze, water and snacks.
Here is a link to the Handy Guide with lots of info, directions and maps.
Car Rental
GECKO RENT A CAR
This is an amazing service that our dear friends who have a home near by use religiously. You can make a request from our website and enter in the dates they are coming we will reply back with a quote for however many days they ask for.
For first time renters, they provide a shuttle service from the airport bring them over to their office north of PV. They go over the “rules of the road” supply maps and help with directions. When returning the car, you just drop it at the same facility and get a ride back to the airport. Super easy!
Ask for Adam and tell him it’s the Stember/Brown wedding in Punta Monterrey.
Make sure you rent an SUV as roads to the beach are very rough.

GREAT DOWNLOADABLE DRIVING RESOURCE
Uber
Uber works in Mexico but they are NOT allowed in the PV airport due to union regulations. You need to exit the airport and walk cross the bridge to the Uber area (see photo below). My wedding planner claims that it couldn’t be easier. And significantly less expensive. People are quoting $540 pesos which is less than $28US!!!
Here is a specific Uber driver that is legit and proven.

Bonus: Apparently there is amazing shrimp and octopus burrito in this same area! See photo below.
Shuttle Service
Suburbans can seat up to 7 people (including luggage). The price will include a stop at the Mega on the way to do stock up on liquor and snacks.
***IMPORTANT FOR ANY SERVICE*** If you make arrangements ahead of time, they will be at the airport with a sign with your name on it (Fancy!).
