How to Save Money on Your Next Trip to Cabo

It's rare to find a vacationer it takes just one trip to Cabo, so whether it's your first time or you're returning it's wise to find the most affordable vacation options ahead of time.

While Cabo offers a number of luxurious hotels and activities, you don't have to be at the top of the Baller food chain to truly enjoy this little strip of paradise.

Read on for more information on how to find the best cheap Cabo vacation deals.

Eat like a Local

A trip to Cabo simply isn't complete without a day spent lounging at Medano. However, if you looking to save those coins, then it is time to start eating like a local.

This means eating at the smaller local chains that are found just off of the tourists strip.

The good news is you don't have to wander too far to find delicious food at a great price.

Simply walking around the corner from the notorious squid row will bring you to delicious Mexican, Chinese, and even sushi at a great price.

Check Out a Presentation

If you want to enjoy the many activities that Cabo has to offer but are working with a tight budget, it may be in your best interest to attend a timeshare presentation.

Even if you have no interest in buying, just setting aside an hour of your time for a presentation can lead to free activities and massive hotel discounts.

You can literally save hundreds of dollars on your vacation by simply hearing them out.

Try Public Transportation

If you're not in a drastic hurry to get from point A to point B, you may choose to ride the bus rather than take a taxi.

If you're wondering where the bus picks up and drops off, the short answer is… everywhere.

Basically if you're somewhat near a usual bus stop and are bold enough to flag a bus down there's a good chance it will stop for you.

You'll find that a bus ride from San Lucas to San Jose can cost less than 40 pesos, where a taxi ride the same distance can go up to $40 USD.

If you looking for a sweet spot in between the bus and the taxi, Uber is also available now in both San Lucas and San Jose.

Ask Around

When in doubt, ask a local. You'll find that the residents of Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo are incredibly friendly and happy to help those visiting.

Extra perk, most of us speak English as well. We will gladly point you in the direction of the closest market, local eatery, or even let you know which nightclubs have the best deals on drinks.
