Some people choose to rent cars when arriving at the SJD airport.  Visitors can rent from one of the national car rental chains at the airport (a quick taxi or shuttle ride away) or as well as places other than the airport. Most large Cabo resorts have an on-site rental agency, and there are a few local car rental businesses as well.  Visitors interested in renting a car should make sure that they are renting from a legitimate business and that they fully understand all prices involved before renting the vehicle.  Rates for rental cars should average somewhere around $50 per day before insurance with insurance costing $10 per day on average.

Driving is relatively easy in the area, although roads are not always maintained to Western standards.  The two main roads for drivers to know in the Cabo San Lucas area are Lazaro Cardenas, which is the road to be taken to and from the airport, and Bulevar Marina which is the main road.  Bulevar Marina travels along the harbor of the Cabo San Lucas Bay and makes for a picturesque drive.  If you encounter road construction, follow the flow of the traffic around you.

For those visitors who do not wish to try driving in Cabo San Lucas, the local bus system or local taxis are other options.  Taxis should be hired from legitimate businesses for reasons of safety.  Taxis are easy to find but visitors are warned that taxis are expensive in Cabo San Lucas.

The bus system, Subercabos, might be a better way to go, as it is much less expensive than taxis.   This system runs every twenty minutes, costs less than $1 per ride and is generally comfortable.   Unlike Western bus systems with scheduled stops, the Subercabos system will stop anywhere along the route that passengers would like to stop.   More information about getting around Cabo San Lucas can be found by visiting http://www.igougo.com/planning/journa... .        For another, often opposing view on Cabo transportation options, visit http://www.paginasprodigy.com/cielito... - for more options and different takes.
