Why an Airport Transfer the Best Option from Cancun Airport?

You might ask what other options are available for transportation from the Cancun Airport. Here is why we recommend a private transfer.

Public Transportation Options from Cancun Airport

There is only one public bus option from the Cancun Airport. This is the ADO bus company. They mainly service Cancun downtown, Puerto Morelos, and Playa Del Carmen. They do not stop at resorts or other places along the highway. This option is good if your hotel is near the bus station. Otherwise, you will still need to take a taxi from the bus to where you are staying. This means added time and sometimes can cost you even more.

What About Uber or a Taxi from Cancun Airport?

Uber has service in the City of Cancun but in most of the Rivera Maya is does not operate. This means you might be able to get a ride from the airport but not back to the airport. There are other issues like customers complaining about canceled airport pickups and the expensive cost of the rides. We have all the details here in our article Is there Uber from Cancun to Playa del Carmen?.

Taxis are by special license only at the Cancun Airport, so they charge a lot for the service. There are also no set price and people need to negotiate with them. A private transfer is a set price, larger van and you have a driver waiting for you. You can also book a round trip with the private transfer, something you cannot do with a taxi.

We want you to have the smoothest and easiest experience on your vacation here in the Riviera Maya. We hope you like our suggestions and have a great trip.

  1. Last year we took the shuttle for the resort but it was a long wait loading up and it still cost us about the same. This year we have reserved this and will give it a try. Thanks for the recommendation.

  2. I big thank you and Merry Christmas to you! I arrived yesterday and got my driver there at the airport. I was worried because it was Christmas day and not sure how things would be running. It was perfect and a great start to our holiday in Mexico. Thank you again.
