Bucerias is a small and quaint beach town, so it is very easy to walk to just about anywhere you need… but if you are looking for all the transportation options to get around town or to check out other areas of the bay, below we cover all the best ways for getting around town, including Bucerias taxis, ride-sharing apps, city buses, or maybe even a bicycle rental!
Taxi Bucerias
Taxis are not usually metered; instead, you usually pay by zones. Be sure to establish the fare before you ride to avoid any surprises. Most trips should be reasonably affordable and you can probably negotiate a better price on slow days. Include a tip if you feel it is warranted.
Bucerias taxis tend to group together in two different spots around town:
- Golden Zone Taxi Stand: +52 329 298 3959
- Downtown Taxi Stand: +52 329 298 0714
- Las Palmas (near Chedraui): +52 329 688 7504

Bicycle
Renting a bike is one of our favorite ways to get around Bucerias. Explore the cobblestone streets of Bucerias or cruise through the palm-lined bike pathway of Nuevo Vallarta. There is even a nice back road that connects the two areas together. Rent a bike with Bici Bucerias, and make sure to ask for their special weekly prices!
Uber & Indriver
The taxi union obviously tried to keep them out of town for as long a possible, but the ride-sharing service, Uber, became available in Puerto Vallarta and Riviera Nayarit back in June 2017.
Due to Uber’s high commission rates, another app called InDriver has become very popular as well. If you open up your Uber app and see that there are very few cars in your area, this may be why! Most drivers have now switched over to this InDriver app, and it is now the most reliable ride-sharing app in the area.
Both ride-sharing apps are great options for getting around town, checking out other parts of the bay, or for going back to the airport.
Note: Some users have said they could not find the app, so they had to switch the App Store country settings to Mexico temporarily to download the inDriver app.
Car Rentals
Although there are many car rental companies that cover Bucerias, we highly suggest using the following companies due to their amazing customer service and prices:
City Car Rental, Puerto Vallarta
City Car Rental is a Mexican company with locations in Cancún, Playa del Carmen, Los Cabos, and of course Puerto Vallarta. Our personal experience with them has been that they have the best rates in the market and no hidden prices, ensuring the best possible car rental experience for you.
Golf Cart, Motorcycle, & Scooter Rental
The greatest part of a golf cart, scooter, or motorcycle rental in Bucerias is flexibility. You basically get priority parking wherever you go! With a car, it is much harder to find a parking place, especially in the downtown area. It works out to be a much better value than renting a taxi or using Uber. Plus, it allows visitors to fit lots of different attractions into a single day.
Gecko Rent a Car
Gecko Rent a Car is a very popular car rental company. It’s a local company based in Bucerias and they are known for the best customer service you can imagine with honest prices. No bait & switch or any of the typical up-sell tricks from other rental car companies. The price is all-inclusive of insurances and it is a very fair deal. They offer airport pick-ups and drop-offs!
Bus
Public transport and the bus system in Mexico can be very inexpensive. It can also be a bit daunting if you don’t speak any Spanish and are not accustomed to traveling on buses and metro systems… but there is no need to be afraid of the city buses!
If you are a budget-conscious traveler and you aren’t afraid of a little adventure, you can get all around the bay at an extremely affordable price. If you are coming from or going to the airport and have a bunch of luggage, it is probably best to take a taxi or Uber since buses don’t have racks and may be crowded.
