Can I get a taxi from Cancun airport to Puerto Aventuras?: NOPE! Book private taxi service with Happy Shuttle Cancun

Post byKelly McLaughlin Jan 04, 2024.

No, you cannot simply arrive and get a taxi from the Cancun airport. Unlike other cities, it is illegal to simply hail a taxi cab at the Cancun airport and ride sharing apps like Uber are not permitted. You must reserve private transportation in advance and frankly, there are a lot of advantages to this! Save money, time, stress, reserve your private, safe private taxi from Cancun airport to Puerto Aventuras with Happy Shuttle Cancun.

Puerto Aventuras is an exclusive gated community in the Mexican Caribbean with marinas, golf course, all-inclusive resorts, boutique hotels and a large selection of private villa rentals in the Riviera Maya. Puerto Aventuras is a peaceful destination, a place to relax and recharge and a launching point for great fishing in the Riviera Maya and luxurious sunset catamaran cruises.

What are the risks of taking a taxi from the Cancun airport to Puerto Aventuras?

While traditional taxis are illegal at the Cancun airport, there are “pirate taxis” that will try to take advantage of visitors who may be tired after a long day of travel and confused by the chaotic atmosphere of the Cancun airport. Cancun airport taxi scams take a few different forms and it is best to avoid the risks by pre-booking your Puerto Aventuras airport transportation.

  1. Pirate taxis at the Cancun airport will appear to be legitimate but they are a danger. They may confuse you with prices and currency and you could end up paying FAR more than you would by booking your Puerto Aventuras transportation in advance.
  2. One of the ways the pirate taxis scam travelers is by approaching in a friendly manner and asking you about your transportation details. They will then proceed to lie, pretend they work for your transfer company and inform you that your vehicle has already left. They will insist that you pay for the service again and may even tell you that your money will be refunded at a future date and then hustle you to their associates in their unlicensed pirate taxis outside the Cancun airport.
  3. Pirate taxis are often uninsured, unlicensed and the vehicles are unsafe and uncomfortable. There is no guarantee for the safety of an unknown taxi to Puerto Aventuras. Speeding and unsafe driving often leads to disaster on the highway.
  4. There is no guarantee you will actually get to your destination. Pirate taxis are unscrupulous and may leave you stranded far from your Puerto Aventuras hotel with no recourse and no resources to come to your assistance. An unlicensed taxi from Cancun airport to Puerto Aventuras is NOT SAFE if you end up in the wrong part of town with a shady driver.

Travel days are stressful enough, don’t arrive in Mexico and expect to get a taxi from Cancun Airport to Puerto Aventuras. You must remember that it is illegal to hail a taxi cab at the Cancun Airport and rideshare apps like Uber are not permitted.

Tulum Airport Transportation to Unico 20 Riviera Maya
I cannot say enough good things about Happy Shuttle Tulum/Cancun. My husband and I arrived at the Tulum airport on August 31st. Unfortunately that was the same day a protest was planned that shut down the main road from Tulum to Playa del Carmen. When we got on the highway and drove up to where the police were blocking the road, there was a lot of confusion. Cars were making U turns and people were driving all along back roads trying to get around the protest. Our driver, Moroni, said he only knew of one way to get around the protest which would mean driving through Coba to Playa del Carmen. He was very concerned about how much gas it would take to make that trip, but it was clear that either he took that route or we may be sitting in Tulum for hours waiting for the protest to end. We begged him to take the route through Coba. The whole time he was driving he was getting messages from other drivers with photos showing how people were just stuck in Tulum. It ultimately took three hours for him to get us to our hotel, but we were so grateful! We learned the next day that the protests didn't end until 10:00 PM. We spoke with other guests at our resort who told us they were stuck in Tulum for hours and hours. Moroni went above and beyond and really saved the day. I have never experienced such excellent costumer service! We were so impressed with how hard he worked and I would not hesitate to recommend Happy Shuttle Tulum/Cancun to everyone I know! We have used your services for years and will continue to do so. Thank you Happy Shuttle Tulum/Cancun and thank you so much to Moroni for helping save our vacation!
