Question

Is it cheaper to rent a car than shuttle from San Jose Cabo airport to downtown Cabo San Lucas?

What one way car rental would you recommend from the SJD airport to downtown Cabo San Lucas and back?

Also, do you know of a photo website/blog about the Downtown Cabo San Lucas? thnx

Answer 1

Car rental will probably save you some money and expand the horizons of your Baja vacation. It is an easy drive 1hr north to Todos Santos (kinda 'Disney Mexico') or two hours east to East Cape, a sportsmans paradise. (real fishing) or north to La Paz for more authentic Mexico.

Your other option is a van service which must be contracted in advance.

Answer 2

Hola!   No, it wouldn't be cheaper to rent a car.  And there isn't any one way car rental companies I know of.  You'd have to return the car to the airport.

So, consider transport by shuttle or taxi.  Both are easy to get, will take you directly to your hotel and no hassles.  Right now you would pay about $25 per person for a shuttle and about $60 for a taxi.  Once in Cabo, you can pretty well walk around, with the occasional need of a cab.  Its a pretty accessible town.  If you plan any outside cabo trips - chileno bay, todos santos, la paz, SJD, playita, then a rental of car would come in handy.

There are lots of websites for Cabo.  My favorite one is www.loscabosguide.com
