Question

Should I pre arrange car service from the airport to the hotel when I arrive?

Answer

Pre-arranging a car service for your arrival at the Puerto Vallarta airport (PVR) is a good idea, especially if you want to avoid long lines and potential hassles, though official airport taxis and the Uber app are also convenient options. Pre-booking provides a comfortable, fixed rate experience and is ideal for larger groups and families.
