2. Taxis are not metered in the city and fares are determined by zones. Almost all hotels will have zone rates posted in or around their motor court and you should verify with your driver prior to heading off to your destination.
3. Taxi drivers often don’t have a lot of change so make sure that you have small bills, either Mexican pesos or American dollars (but not American coins).
4. Tipping taxi drivers in Mexico is not customary but if your driver provides additional service, ie. helping with your bags or luggage, waiting for you at your destination or just offering particularly friendly or helpful service, a small tip is appropriate and appreciated.
