I also plan on going to PV in late Feb. Possibly renting in Conchas Chinas (5 min drive to town). Is it recommended to rent a car or can I just taxi around while I am there (for one week only)? Also, If I do rent a car...should I buy the insurance the rental companies always try to sell which is not necessary in some places if you rent with Amer Exp?

Hi,
If it were me and I was renting in Conchas Chinas and just wanted to stay in and around town, I'd just pay for taxis - they're cheap and plentiful, and once you get downtown, walking around is easy and pleasant.
Have a great time -- if you do rent something, could you post a review? I've always wanted to rent, but never have!

frankie:
I am most definately going to rent something...So look forward to a review upon my return early March. Thanks for your tip!

thanks, look forward to your report!! Conchas Chinas is a beautiful area, you've picked a great locale.

i think a car would be more hassle than convenience. just taxi around, they are plentiful and very reasonably priced.

maybe a car for one day if you wanted to drive outside town and head north or south along the coast?

thank you!

We go to PV every year and have never rented a car. Like the above poster said, there are plenty of taxis and they are not expensive. The bus system is even cheaper(maybe 80cents?)and goes everywhere. Parking is a HUGE problem and traffic can be "interesting". I thnk a car would be more trouble than it is worth. The views from the C. Chinas are stunning--please post a trip report when you return!
