If you're heading to Puerto Morelos from Cancun Airport, you’ve got options. But not all options are good.
Some travelers try their luck with taxis. Some cross their fingers for an Uber. And some go straight to Happy Shuttle Cancun, where flat rates, guaranteed pick-ups, and bilingual drivers are just part of the ride.

⚠ Heads up: Some shady taxi drivers will try to convince you your Happy Shuttle already left or cancelled. It’s not true—they just want your money. Stay sharp. Just keep walking and repeating “No, gracias” until you find your friendly Happy Shuttle Cancun greeter
Some travelers report overpaying hundreds of dollars for a taxi from the airport to Puerto Morelos—and that’s if they find a driver who doesn’t try to “upsell” them or take the scenic route.
Uber is legal but visitors are saying it is unreliable for airport pickups. Troubles with the taxi union. Drivers cancel. You walk across traffic. And there’s no guarantee someone will show up at all.
Also: most Uber and taxi drivers at the airport speak minimal or no English, making it harder if something goes wrong. And if you forget something in the car? Good luck.
I’ve lived in Mexico for over 20 years and if there’s one thing I’ll mom-splain to anyone going to Puerto Morelos, it’s this: don’t trust airport taxis with your vacation. They’re chaotic, overpriced, and love a good tourist trap. Book Happy Shuttle instead. It’s safe, smooth, and exactly what I’d tell my own kid to do (after reminding them to wear SPF). - Kelly
