Taxis: 

The taxis that are available at the airport are federal-licensed and are the only ones allowed to travel from the airport to hotels and areas in the vicinity, so they are more expensive than the normal taxis found in town. The two companies are Aeromovil taxis and Transportes Terrestres that offer minivans.
