Taxi from Cancun airport to Playa del Carmen: Private service with Happy Shutt


Post by Kelly McLaughlin Jan 04, 2023.

Getting a taxi from Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen is not like other cities, it is illegal to simply hail a taxi 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 taxi from Cancun airport to Playa del Carmen with Happy Shuttle Cancun.

Getting a taxi from the Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen is NOT the best way to enjoy a stress-free travel day. Unscrupulous and shady drivers in illegal taxis will take advantage of you and you run the risk of being overcharged or scammed by unlicensed and unregulated drivers. You could take a bus, but the ADO bus from Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen does not run 24/7 and will only bring you as far as the bus terminals in Playa del Carmen. From there you will need to negotiate a ride to get you to your accommodations. Renting a car to get to Playa del Carmen is expensive and risky, driving in Mexico is a whole different type of adventure.

"A little slow late at night but otherwise Great shuttle service!"

Cancun Airport Transportation to Grand Park Royal Cancun
I was very happy with the shuttle; they provided beer or soft drinks for the ride and some cheese and crackers. I have let my son know, and he will be signing up for his trip to Cancun on the 20th. I look forward to my next opportunity to use Happy Shuttle Cancun. The only negative thing that I saw was that late at night they want to fill the van, and that can take some time. But I suspect that all the services want to do that, so I would recommend landing during the afternoon. My wife and I came in at 11 PM or so and had to wait for the van to fill up. But my day trips were very fast, and the return to the airport was great. Dave & Elsa

Very nice gentleman. He helped us with our luggage. It did say our service came with a bottle of water, and we were not offered anything to drink. Other than that, we had great service.

"Love it."
