Just noticed this under 'Pick up y Vannete Comercial' - "Incluye pasaje del operador". The rate is $2,420mxn.

So with no passenger (only me), I don't know why I was charged $3,425 mxn!

Maybe because my rig is a little over 2' longer than the 6 meter length limit indicated?

They probably considered you an RV of some type. You are not a pickup or a commercial van, per se.

Well, your rate was very close to the Maz fare. Was that the trip you took?

Actually, even 3400+ is very reasonable for a camper and person. Isnt that only about 180.00US? Beats multiple days of driving from either location, SR or La Paz.

No, it was Topo -> Pichilingue.

Yes, I was happy with the fare I was charged!!
