What is included in every Cancun Airport transfer?
Every booking includes all of this at no extra charge.
Your driver waits outside arrivals with a sign bearing your name.
We track your flight, so your driver is there whether you land early or late.
The vehicle is only yours: no strangers and no stops at other hotels.
In every vehicle, which matters in the Cancun heat.
On every ride, from the terminal to your door.
Follow your driver on the map in MyTrip and share the ride with your family.
English and Spanish, and a team that answers 24/7.
Free on request: choose them at checkout.
Why book your Cancun Airport transportation in advance?
Ride-hailing apps cannot pick up at the terminals: the airport is federal property, and only authorized airport taxis and permitted transfer companies can load passengers there.
The ADO bus costs around 100 MXN (about 5 USD), but it only goes to the downtown bus terminal and does not stop at any hotel. For the Hotel Zone, Playa del Carmen or Tulum you still need another ride.
Airport taxis are paid at the counter, about 65 to 120 USD per car to the Hotel Zone.
A private transfer booked ahead starts at US$34 per vehicle for up to 8 passengers, with the price fixed before you fly, no lineup and no shared stops. Booking at least 24 hours ahead saves up to 30%, and you can pay online by card or PayPal at any hour.
The vehicles that actually work this airport
Every one is private, air conditioned and insured, with a bilingual driver. Pick by group size and luggage, not by price.

Arrival instructions, step by step
Written by our own team at Cancun Airport. Read it once on the plane and you will be in the van 20 to 40 minutes after landing.

Which terminal will you land in?
Cancun has four terminals. Terminal 1 was closed for years and reopens in mid-2026 with the World Cup expansion, so today you land in 2, 3 or 4. This is the picture as of September 2026.

What travellers ask us most about this airport.
Avoid pirate taxis and fake transport
Cancun Airport is safe. What is not safe is the selling that starts the second you clear customs. This is what to watch for.
You will hear it said about us by name, at the exit doors, and you will hear it often. It is how a sale opens. Your booking is in MyTrip and in your WhatsApp confirmation, and nothing said at the door changes it.
Nobody outside our channels knows that. We do. A real delay reaches you through IAN on WhatsApp, never through a stranger in the hall.
The convincing one, because it uses our name and then hands you a solution. We never pass your pickup to someone who approaches you, and we never tell you to take a taxi. The taxi is the point of the conversation.
Authorized drivers cannot solicit inside the building. Ours waits outside, behind the barrier, with the eTransfers sign. Keep walking to the meeting point.
To pick up inside the airport, ASUR requires each vehicle’s registration — carrying the federal plates and the SICT permit — current insurance and several other requirements. Whoever approaches you in the hall has no vehicle inside. Their whole job is to talk you into walking out to one.
Your driver name, photo and plate are in MyTrip before you land. If the person or the vehicle does not match, do not get in. Message IAN and we sort it out in minutes.
Your transfer is prepaid, tolls included. A driver asking again for the fare, tolls, parking or a “terminal fee” is not ours. Tips are welcome and never required.
Tips from our local team
Our own Cancun Airport team, answering what travellers actually ask.
Pesos or dollars?
Both work in tourist areas, but you pay 10 to 15% more in dollars because the change comes back at the shop’s rate. Pay by card where you can and carry some pesos for tips and small shops.
How much to tip
Drivers: 50 to 100 pesos or about US$5 for a standard transfer, more for a group with a lot of luggage. Restaurants: 10 to 15%. Tipping in pesos saves the staff a bad exchange.
SIM cards and wifi
Airport kiosks charge double. Buy a Telcel SIM at any OXXO in town, or activate an eSIM before you fly. Your voucher works offline in MyTrip in the meantime.
Best hours to land
Immigration peaks from noon to 4 p.m., when the US flights arrive together. Morning and late evening flights get you out in about 20 minutes.
Sargassum season
Seaweed reaches the east-facing beaches from May to September. Playa Mujeres, the north beach of Isla Mujeres and the west coast of Cozumel stay cleaner.
Weather
Warm all year. Rain and hurricane season runs June to November; storms are short and rare. December to April is peak season, so book a few days ahead.
Stop at the supermarket
Ask for a 20 minute stop at Chedraui or Walmart on the way. Water, snacks and sunscreen cost half of hotel prices. With Premium, one short stop is included; on Economy, request it when you book and it may cost extra.
