Car Class Recommendations
While a compact car is great for city driving, we'd recommend a mid-size or full-size car if you're planning to explore the wider Tabasco region, especially if you're travelling with a group.
Nearby Gas Stations
There are several gas stations within a short drive from the airport. Petro Bal gas station is just 2km away, while Servicio El Marquesito is on the way to Villahermosa city center.
Accessibility and Connections
The airport has good connections with the city center of Villahermosa, with regular taxis and bus services. However, a rental car gives you the liberty to design your itinerary and visit places off the beaten path.
Climate
Tabasco has a tropical climate with high humidity. Most rainfall occurs between June and October. The dry season, which lasts from November to May, is the best time to visit if you prefer less rain.
Currency
The currency used in Mexico is the Mexican Peso (MXN). Most places accept credit and debit cards, but having some cash handy is a good idea for smaller transactions or in places that don't accept cards.
Surrounding Cities
