Plan the Puerto Vallarta Airport handover before arrival
Puerto Vallarta Airport is an airport pickup starting point. Airport pickup suits an immediate resort or touring route; a later collection may avoid paying for a parked car. The selected voucher remains the source for the exact desk, meeting point, opening hours, deposit and return instructions.
Puerto Vallarta Airport car rental informationBefore leaving arrivals
Use the voucher to find the correct terminal, rental centre or shuttle stop; do not assume every supplier uses the same building or collection route.
Confirm the terminal, meeting point or shuttle because suppliers can operate from different airport facilities. Keep the booking number and delayed-arrival contact available until the keys are collected.
Leave time for fuel, airport traffic, the correct return facility and the supplier's inspection. Photograph the car, fuel level, wheels and existing marks at collection and return.
