But these days I only take the limo from HK and my $3 tip does the trick.

Posts: 7Recommended rooms at cascadas?
Booked my flight, ended up coming in sat. Early to LAX on the 20th and leaving Tues afternoon. Looking to book Cascadas sat-Tues any rooms recommended? Sat will be full price but with vip card I can get discount sun and Mon. Does vip card work on suites? Would a suite give girls GPS?

Yeah, I guess taxi fares are up to $7 at this point, which is a rip-off, but somewhat understandable given inflation and rising gas costs. But I've just stopped dealing with the yellow taxis period. If I don't know the shared taxi route, I'll just use Uber / Didi.

Posts: 6522Ride from the border
20 years ago Yellow taxis insisted on $5 from the border to La Zona. They got nasty when guys negotiated for less. They do have to pay the city steep fees for licenses and parking rights, but I hated to have to deal with the rude, nasty Yellow cabbies.
At night I used to walk down the street with 3 fingers stick out. In a few minutes a Taxi Libre would pick me up for that fare, but I usually give them $5 or more anyway. Or during day time I would take the shared taxi to Constitucion for $1.
HK's Border Shuttle free limousines wait near Ped East's taxi stand. Uber rides are cheap from border to La Zona, about $3 to 4 depending on peak time. We rode Uber from HK to Hippodromo for $6, about 7 to 8 miles away. Just before CoVid half dozen cabbies chased after and beat up SoCal guys who booked Uber at the border and taunted them, an incident that caused alarms among officials in City Hall. So you should be discreet.
If you don't want to wait, keep in mind that gas, food, rents, pussies and everything else have gone up in prices with inflation after CoVid. If you take taxis consider to give them more than the $5 fare that was 20 years ago.

Posts: 6522Parking behind Burger King
The sign says parking all day $10. That lot is busy, usually full. I have never parked there.
Twice I was in the area, guys were running out screaming their cars were broken into, one guy's BMW could not be started. A wingman's Tesla was broken into, a bag of orange stolen, nothing else. The parking attendants could not do anything. So take your own risks.

There is parking for 10 dollars a day? Are you sure?
I have tried a lot of parking spots and I cannot find one that charges less than like 30 or 40 bucks for each overnight and then they keep charging anew in the morning. Every overnight trip costs me 60 to 80 dollars in parking fees if I get there at noon and leave the next evening.
Say more of this 10 dólar a day parking.

Posts: 590You need a passport. Real ID won't work.
They do not stamp your book. They barely look at it.
Get that passport card. So much better. For the future. Just to be able to keep it in your wallet.

I once had issues with a taxi driver so I feel the zona shuttle / limo is much safer.

Posts: 67Passport Stamping and where do you keep your passport?
Gentlemen,
Any recent reports about whether the passport book gets stamped if you cross the border on foot?
Unfortunately I don't have time to get either Passport Card (traveling internationally in 1. 5 month and looks like the passport card application needs me to send the passport book). I applied for Global Entry, but their online tracker is showing a 4-5 month processing time.
Ideally I would not like to get my passport book stamped if possible. FWIW, I a California REAL ID drivers license, which I am assuming does not count as Enhanced ID for re-entry.
A related question: if you make a day trip just to visit Zona Norte, where do you keep your passport book? I guess I can keep it in the Front pocket of my jeans, but it feels a bit risky.
Thank you!
