Getting from the airport:

Use authorized taxi stands inside the airport or request an Uber from the app once you're outside the terminal.

SIM Card, Intornot Accoss
eSIM Options
If your phone supports eSIM, these options offer fast and reliable coverage:
Physical SIM Card
Walk into a Telcel or AT&T store and ask for a "chip SIM". It should cost around $70–100 MXN (approx. $4–6 USD), plus extra if you want a prepaid internet package.

We highly recommend using Uber—it is safe, efficient, and affordable.
Renting a car is possible, but driving in Mexico City can be stressful due to traffic and navigation.
Public transportation is inexpensive but can be crowded, and it doesn't cover every area conveniently.
For the wedding day, if you'd like to share transportation with other guests staying nearby, check the box on your RSVP form—we’ll connect you with others.
