How to avoid Cancun airport scams and pirate taxis
Post by Kelly McLaughlin Nov 14, 2022.
Cancun airport scams are not new but the pirates keep finding ways to confuse travelers and con
them out of their hard-earned vacation dollars and pesos! Save yourself money, time and stress with pre-booked
Cancun airport transfers at a guaranteed price, certified drivers, and reliable service with Happy Shuttle
Cancun. Remember that it is illegal for taxis to pick up passengers outside the Cancun airport and Uber and
other rideshare apps are not permitted at the Cancun airport.
Even with your confirmation number and confirmed reservation, you must take care not to be
scammed by pirate taxis at the Cancun airport. They may look “official” and be wearing something that looks like
a uniform and an ID. They will smile and appear friendly as they ask for your transportation information but
then the Cancun airport scammers will lead you astray. They will tell you that your vehicle has already left and
you will have to pay for the next departing shuttle. You will be misdirected, guided to their associates in
pirate taxis outside the Cancun airport and you will find yourself the victim of professional cons.
They may tell you that your money will be refunded, but this is part of the fraud. They will
pretend to be an “official” representative of Happy Shuttle Cancun but if they are not wearing the distinctive
neon green uniform with our logo, just keep walking. Unfortunately we are seeing Cancun airport scams
impersonating Happy Shuttle Cancun increase and we want to ensure our guests avoid being scammed.
- Once you have your Happy Shuttle Cancun reservation you will NOT be asked to pay any further fees or costs.
DO NOT allow anyone impersonating one of our representatives to con you out of a single peso.
- Keep walking until you see the distinctive NEON GREEN shirts with the Happy Shuttle Logo clearly visible.
- Look for the Happy Shuttle Cancun sign with YOUR name on it, don’t go with anyone who doesn’t have this
sign.
- Our friendly Cancun greeters in neon green with the Happy Shuttle Cancun sign with your name, will carry
official ID and will have your name on their pre-printed reservation list. Be sure to check their list and
see that your name and confirmation numbers match and you’ll be all set to board your comfortable, OFFICIAL
Happy Shuttle Cancun transportation.

scams
Happy Shuttle Cancun will never leave you stranded! We follow your flights and ensure that even
if you are delayed that we are there to get you to your Cancun resort or Riviera Maya hotel. The pirates will
hover around the baggage area and prey on tired travelers, telling them that the transportation has already left
and they will need to pay for a new transfer. IGNORE THEM AND WALK AWAY until you see the REAL Happy Shuttle
Cancun greeters in neon green with the official logo, a sign clearly marked with your name and a matching
reservation number on their printed list.
