solo travel and taxi safety

I am flying in/traveling solo and wondering about my safety by taxi from airport to LM and not speaking a lot of Spanish. Aside from sharing a taxi does anyone have any wisdom on the matter?

Never heard of anyone having a problem with the taxi drivers. They will understand when you tell them La Manzanilla.

It will not be a problem for you..with or without Spanish. When you arrive just go to the taxi que...the current charge is 760 pesos, and yes, I just did it, alone. Buen viaje or have a good trip!

Do not worry. My 84 year old Mom feels comfortable jumping in a cab alone for the ride to LM.

Clearly say "La Manzanilla", in order to avoid confusing them with "Manzanillo".

Lita, what day, what airport? I arrive in PV on November 5, maybe we can share taxi/bus ride to La Manz?

You can also ask for an English speaking driver. I have gone alone in taxis several times. But I try to share from the airport to save money. Most of the time I can find someone.
