They are called collectivos and cheaper than taxis, but you may have to share with another party. One way to meet people. 8)

Yes, they have van-style taxis for rent at the airport too. Just specify when you ask for one - although, they will probably be 2 steps ahead of you and able to see that you need the larger size.

answer to my own question
we were able to get a suburban out of the airport that fit all 6 of us plus luggage. the cost was $20 to hotel rosita at the begining of the malecon. i found it kind of odd though since prices are suppose to be fixed out of the airport and the cost initially started at $30. any input on this from anyone?

I am almost thinking when i arranged for a \"limo\" service to pick us up at the airport, it was like $10 USD over the posted rates, but i am not positive about it... nor can i find the company i e-mailed to find our their current rates... it was one of the first times we were coming down for two weeks with another couple out of denver and they were coming for two weeks, and we both knew we were going to over pack with excessive luggage and would need a suburban or van to get us there.... oh well if i come accross it, with a link to their website, i will post it here...

just outside the airport a guy asked if we were all together and needed a suburban, we said yes and asked the price. he first responded with $30 and we kept walking, he then bumped it to $20 and we took him up on it, all this was about 20 feet from the cab-ticket booth.
