The Cancun Airport Transportation is located about 20 kilometers from the city. Although it is the second busiest airport in Mexico because it also receives passengers traveling to Playa del Carmen and Tulum, two major tourist centers of the Riviera Maya. Getting from Cancun airport to downtown or the hotel zone is very easy. You can opt for a cab, bus or rent a car and drive yourself. We will tell you in detail how to get from Cancun airport to downtown or the hotel zone.
HOW TO GET FROM CANCUN AIRPORT TO DOWNTOWN AND HOTEL ZONE.
1. Private transfer.
Booking a cab is the most comfortable option to go from Cancun airport to downtown or the hotel zone. The driver will be waiting for you in the arrivals area of your terminal with a sign with your name on it. He will accompany you to the car helping you with your luggage and will take you to the door of your hotel. It couldn't be easier! The trip takes between 20 and 30 minutes, depending on traffic and the exact point where you are staying.
The price is 21€ per vehicle for up to 10 people. So the bigger the group the more it will cost you. But even if you go as a couple, we think it has a very reasonable price. It is essential to book online. If you wait to book a cab once you land the price is higher, around 35€. In addition, you will have to wait for the vehicle to arrive from the parking lot outside the terminal, as only those waiting for specific passengers are allowed to park at the gate.
2. Shared shuttle to go from Cancun airport to the hotel.
If you want the convenience of being dropped off at the hotel door but the cab seems too expensive, you can book a shared shuttle. It works the same way as the private transfer: they will wait for you with a sign with your name on it and take you to the minivan.
