Avoid taxi fraud at the Cancun Airport: Book a cab in advance!

Pirate cabs in the Cancun Airport prey on unsuspecting tourists who may be tired from a long day of travel. They’ll approach you looking friendly and ask for the details of the transportation you have booked in advance. They will tell you that your transfer has already left and that you will need to pay an elevated price for a cab from Cancun Airport to downtown Cancun. They may even promise that this money will be refunded but this is never the case. You may end up paying more than $100 USD for the 18 km trip downtown, don’t do it, book ahead!

Never agree to enter an unknown vehicle with an undefined price. The cost of a pirate cab in Cancun is robbery, they will try to trick you with currency confusion and unclear and undefined prices. At the end of your ride you may find your wallet is far emptier than you expected. Avoid paying too much for your cab from the airport to downtown Cancun, always reserve ahead for a guaranteed price and for your personal safety.

Cancun Airport Transportation to Secrets Maroma Beach Riviera Cancun by Playa Del Carmen
This was my first time visiting Cancun and I was uncertain about which shuttle transportation to use for my trip. When I came across Happy Shuttle, I was reassured by their consistently great reviews. My experience absolutely felt as great as they say! They were communicative, super accessible, really kind people that offer the best conversation on the drive, on-time and clean, and above all, easy. For a lot of new in our experience, they made the travel to and from the airport the easiest part. Would highly recommend and would use again next time!
