packedandready Posted April 27, 2012 #1 Share Posted April 27, 2012 Has anyone here hired a cab for the day to Merida? (Don't want to rent a car or scooter) Any cabs (companies) to avoid? Costs? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh0906 Posted April 27, 2012 #2 Share Posted April 27, 2012 I've hired a taxi for a tour of Progresso and environs on a non ship day there. It was 150 pesos or about 12 bucks U.S. For about an hour. I've also taken the bus between Progresso and Merida. It was about 4 bucks I think. You can catch that about 3 blocks from the pier. It drops you 2 blocks from the square in Merida. From the square you can take a double decker bus from in front of the big church through most of the tourist areas of town. Hop on, hop off as you like. Hugh in Dallas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CENTEX CRUISER Posted April 27, 2012 #3 Share Posted April 27, 2012 We went this past November by cab from right at the ship. The ship sponsored tour was $49 PP . We paid $70 total for the cab for all 4 of us . It was great. Fernando was our driver.. Stopped at a convenience store on the way , got 4 beers , 1 coke for Fernando , and 1 water for $5..He took us to the square and agreed to meet us back where he parked the cab at a certain time.Had a great lunch on the square. Had no problems whatsoever, and will do this again. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packedandready Posted April 28, 2012 Author #5 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Thanks for the replies. The tour from autoprogreso might work also. Was thinking about hiring a cab to be able to stop as we pleased. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
