Cancún Airport Transfers: Private Car vs. Shared Shuttle

Cancún is a cheerful place to land, and the ride to your resort can be just as easy. A private car carries your group together, and some stays already include one, so it is worth a look before you add a shuttle.

Before you fly

A few things that make the ride smoother.

  • Compare the total for the whole group, with room for luggage, not a per-person starting price.
  • Some stays already include a private or shared ride. Read the confirmation and arrange it before you fly.
  • Book the exact resort. Hotel Zone, Playa Mujeres, Costa Mujeres, and Riviera Maya are different rides.
  • Welcome Pickups can follow the flight and take a child-seat request. An airport pickup includes 60 minutes of complimentary waiting.
