They will be glad to book this for you, you only need to click on the Reserve Now tab and you will go to their reservations page. We hope you have a great time here and let us know if you have any other questions.
Most people don’t realize that the Riviera Maya is a long stretch of and. It takes a hour to get from Cancun to Playa Del Carmen. So a transfer is not that much when you think about the amount of distance you are taking.
Hello. I wanted to thank you for all your help in planning our vacation. We loved the cenotes you told us about and even the driver from the airport was so nice. Our trip was magical! It was just what my husband and I needed. I cannot thank you enough. You really know the area and the places to go.
Hello Kylie
Thank you so much for your kind words. We are happy your vacation was a success. There are so many places for you to see the next time you come. We hope you come back soon!
I just found our or never really thought about it before but the taxis at the airport are really private transfers. They are not like the taxis that work in the cities. They have to have special license for the airport and why they charge so much. I must rather have a van and driver waiting for me all set.
This is true Henry. It is why we recommend this company for transfers.
Just wanted to say that our driver Miguel was very courteous and a good driver.
Thanks very much for the info. We will try this company. We are coming for the first time to Cancun and want to see if this will be our new “spot” Looking forward to exploring the area.
The new Terminal 4 is beautiful although the signs are not all up. Even though it was newer I am glad my ride found me and I was off to holiday. It is a nice new addition to the airport to have another terminal.
We always feel more relaxed knowing we have a driver waiting. We have stayed at some resorts and used the big bus transportation. We waited a half hour on the bus just waiting for everyone that had arrived and then it was a big drop off of people all checking in. When we do the private van we get to the hotel and breeze through check in. Well worth it!
I never know who to tip and who not to tip in PDC. Private transportation drivers? Taxi drivers? Collective drivers? If yes, how much?
Hello Jody
We do have a tipping guide here for Playa to help you. https://everythingplayadelcarmen.com/tipping-playa-del-carmen/
Taxis no, only if they help with bags. Colectivo drivers no. Transfer service if it is private. It will depend on how much they help you with bags and if they talk with you. About $5 is good for a trip to the transfer driver.
Thanks for the recommendations. We loved our driver and the price for the transfer was good. We will take them again next year.
After I originally visited Playa I now take the private transfers because they are so much easier! Fast connection form the airport without waiting for a hotel bus to fill and no hassel with a taxi driver.
Private transfers are the way to go, so much faster and no negotiating the prices with rip off taxi drivers. We have ben coming to the Riviera Maya for 5 years now and much rather reserve ahead of time and get to the hotel to start our trip. Last year we have a great driver that told us about some cenotes to visit and get local restaurants. Many were on your site here, so you both had good recommendations.
We just got back from Mexico and wanted to thank you for all the good advice and spot on recommendations. We started with your transfer advice and ended with the tours you recommended. Thanks for a great trip! We will be back next year.
Hello Leah
We are glad you had a good trip and found our recommendations good. We will continue to work hard here so we can bring you more things to check out for your next vacation.
Thank you so much for the reccomendations. We had Miguel as our driver and he was very punctual and courtious. Good service. We will use them again.
Hello. I am traveling with my grandmum and want wanted to know how easy it is the get in and out of the transfer vans. She is 82 and limited in movement.
Hello
The vans are large with sliding doors. We have not heard any comments complaining about the height of the van or being difficult to get into or out. It should be fine for your grandmother but there are not a lot of other options, so it does need to work.
I am not sure if you remember us but we had asked you a lot of questions before our honeymoon in the Riviera Maya. We just got back and wanted to say thank you for all your excellent advice. Everything you said was spot on. We had a great stay, meals, tours and transfer. It was a total success. If we every come back to Mexico, we will be sure to ask for your advice again.
We will be taking private transfers from now on. We had a taxi driver take us to the wrong resort. There are a lot of resorts with similar names and it can be confusing but it took an extra 40 minutes to get to our hotel. We were very tired and still he offered no discount.
We have seen some cheap transfer services from the Cancun Airport. They are much cheaper then the prices here. What is the difference between them and why is there such a big difference?
Hello Kendra
There are some non private transfer services that pick up passengers from the Cancun Airport to hotels. There are two types of services that do this. One is the collective vans that wait to fill up and then drop off passengers at multiple hotels. This means that you will have to wait for other people to get to the van and then take off. This can be a few minutes or 20 minutes of waiting. Then when you take off if you hotel is not the first, you have to go to other hotels first. Most people don’t realize that the Riviera Maya is a big place and spread out over many miles. Each resort often is a 1/2 mile off the highway and dropping off people can take a lot of time. Most people after a flight want to get to the pool or beach and start enjoying their vacation. Just saving a few dollars waste time and ease of getting a private transfer. The second people that offer cheap transfers are from the timeshare people. Getting offered a cheap transfer sounds great but it lines you up for hours of presentations on your vacation time. We do not recommend this as many people are not satisfied with vacation clubs or timeshares after purchase.
Has anyone else used this tranfer company? I just want to hear from other people that have used them before I book. Thanks
When services are performed great I always like to comment. Our driver was there waiting for us and we were at our hotel in 30 minutes from arrival. It was a pleasant arrival and nice start to our vacation. Thanks!
Hello Tim
We are glad you had good service from this transfer company. That is why we keep recommending them since our readers have good experiences. We hope you enjoy the rest of your vacation in the Riviera Maya.
This was very helpful since our hotel offered us transportation but it was in the bus. It was the kind that wait for the group and leave every half an hour. We prefer to spend the same amount and get a private transfer to the resort.
We have our mother coming with us and she is in a wheel chair. Do they have accommodation for this for the transfer? Thanks
Hello Marissa
This transfer company has an option for a handicap van. The other vans are also fairly big and easy to get into. There are photos on their website so you can choose what one you think will work best for you. We hope you have a good trip.
Great service! Thanks for picking up on time and getting us to the airport on time. Muy husband is a Strickler for time and he did not have to worry at all on vacation. Thank you =)

Hello Brandy

If someone wants a good transfer service they should book here. I went with them and really liked them. So punctual and good service. Nice clean vans and bilingual driver. EverythingPlaya alsways has good recomendations. Thanks
This is the first year we are doing an extended vacation so we are brining our little dog. What is the policy of the transfers for pets? Thanks
Hello Judy

We had Jose as a driver of our transfer. He was really good. He made us feel very welcomed. We hope we get to see him again as we head back to the airport. His service was really appreciated!
Hello Marie
We are glad you enjoyed your driver and service from this transfer company. We love hearing back from our readers. We hope the rest of your vacation is going good.
After looking over a few options this seems to be the best way to get from the airport. It is a far distance and I dont think people really think when they think they are flying into Cancun Airport that it is in the city of Cancun. It is south of town so transport times can be 30 minutes or more depending on where you are staying.
I would like ot book a transfer for myself and my two kids on the 9th of March. Can you confirm you have availability and what you need from me to book this please.
Hello Sandy
The comments here go to our website here. To book the transfer you will need to click the link that says reserve now. This will take you to the transfer companies official website where you will fill out all your details and have your reserved pick up from the airport. We hope you have a great trip and let us know if you need anything else for your time in the Riviera Maya.
Hello. Would you tell me if drivers should be tipped? Sometimes we have seen tip jars in the transfers but I don’t know if it is customary.
Hello Phillip
Some drivers are very helpful with luggage and talk with clients. Some people like to tip $5 for the ride. Longer transfers to Tulum for example can take up to one hour and a half and people tend to tip more.
I am flying into Cancun and need a ride to Paradisus Hotel but am switching hotels midweek and will need a different pick up location in Playa del Carmen. Is this possibel to book?
Hello Alan
A transfer from the airport to one hotel and back from another hotel to the airport is possible. You can make notes on your booking once you go to their website. We hope you have a good trip. Let us know if you need anything else.
Hello. We enjoyed our trip to Playa Del Camren immensely. Everything from the airport pickup to our hotel. We stayed at the Reef 28 and really enjoyed to rooftop and how close it was to everything. Thanks for all your helpful advice. Excellent website!
Right here is the best transfer company! We have uesed them each year and have always had good service with puntual service.
Thanks, I’ve have booked and am ready for my trip! My first time to Mexico and the Riviera Maya.
Do you have service to Akumal and can pick up in Tulum going back to the airport? We are changing resorts half way through our trip. Thanks
Hello Sandy
This company can do different pickup location and drop off. There is a chat on their website if you need help booking this. You can either book two one way or a round trip with multiple destinations. We hope you have a good trip.
We compared the hotel’s transportation but the deal is better with this private transport. Glad we found your website. You have some good details for our trip.
It was just as your described. They were waiting for us and scheduled our return to the airport. We were happy with the service.
