Traffic Information

If arriving at Puerto Vallarta Airport, it will take you around 14 minutes to drive into the center of Puerto Vallarta. If traffic is heavy, you can avoid congestion via the Calle Prisciliano Sánchez or the Calle Politécnico Nacional without adding any time or distance. Our Puerto Vallarta / Velas Hotel branch is around 4 miles and 15 minutes from the center via the Avendia Francisco Medina Ascencio. Our Puerto Vallarta Grand Velas branch, meanwhile, is around 10 miles and 25 minutes from Puerto Vallarta town center via Highway 200 Tepic Puerto Vallarta. On-street parking can be scarce in Puerto Vallarta and the streets can be narrow, so do leave yourself a bit of time to find a space and take care parking. Alternatively, use one of the public parking lots the city has recently built around the main attractions to remedy this problem. When driving further afield Federal Highway 200 will take you to destinations to the north or south while Highway 15 will take you east to places like Guadalajara.

Sixt Tips

Puerto Vallarta features a beautiful bay, fabulous beaches, lush forests and pretty waterfalls. It has lots of upscale hotels, restaurants and boutiques for those who want to enjoy a luxurious visit but it also has much to offer the budget traveler. The Malecon is a newly refurbished boardwalk, which provides a lovely walk along the oceanfront, where you will often find street artists performing. If you want to get away from the international tourist area, walk south across the River Cuale to the Old Town, also called the Zona Romantica. Here you will enjoy a more traditional atmosphere.

Sightseeing Destinations

If you want to get away from it all and enjoy some unspoiled beaches and beautiful, lush forests, Sayulita is ideal. This is also an excellent destination for surfers and you can rent boards locally to enjoy the waves.

For a taste of the real Mexico, drive south for around 35 miles on Highway 200 to El Tuito. The name means beautiful small valley and it truly is. The village itself is also pretty, with a lovely central square and some excellent restaurants.

I've rented from Sixt a few times now, and they are on par with other car rental agencies. One thing that is nice is that they will take a debit card to do a hold - however, often the hold can be pretty high, be prepared to lose access to those funds temporarily. They did make sure that I knew how much the hold was in USD, which made it easier....I didn't have to calculate that myself. Also, unless you are arriving/departing at the airport, they do not pick you up or drop you off.

We had a great time in Puerto Vallarta. SIXT provided VIP transport to and from airport which went smoothly. Only issue was when we returned the car, we were told that there was damage under front bumper due to many speed bumps in town. Imposible, we’ve rented with SIXT in several countries and we’re aware of these road hazards. Consumer beware, take photos /video of under carriage to avoid this issue. Fortunately, we were able to convince the Manager that we were not at fault. We carry AX insurance and suggest carrying or buying additional insurance if needed to avoid any damage accusations. Otherwise, SIXT as a whole is great car rental option.
