The safest, fastest and most comfortable way to get there is through a private transportation service or cab. However, if you are looking to save money; you can use the ADO service or the Express Beach Service.

Private transportation

No matter where you are, the private tranfser service is one of the best options to go to the Cancun airport. As such, the vans or even luxury vehicles (depending on the service you choose) will pick you up at your hotel in the hotel zone or downtown Cancun and take you to the Cancun airport.

Taxi

The cab is a good option to get to Cancun airport if you are traveling with few people and little luggage. It is a Tsuru type vehicle and it is NOT RECOMMENDED TO TAKE IT IN THE HOTEL ZONE.

If you are in the hotel zone and take a cab to the Cancun airport, BE PREPARED TO PAY ALMOST 2,500.00 mxn. This is because the hotel zone is a “more expensive” area and therefore, cab services tend to have very high prices.

If you are in downtown Cancun, it is advisable to take it: The cost from here can be from 400.00 MXN to 800.00 MXN.

ADO

The ADO service offers departures from the ADO terminal in downtown Cancun to the Cancun airport and costs approximately 98.00 MXN per person.

This is another option for travel. If you are in the hotel zone, just take a public transportation bus and get to downtown. Once downtown, finding the ADO terminal is very easy.

Just be aware of the bus departure times, which are approximately every hour.

Playa Express airport

Another way to save money on the transfer to the Cancun airport is with the Playa Express service.

Playa Express is a “shared shuttle” service, which means that just like you, many other people use the service to go to other places outside of Cancun, such as Puerto Morelos or Playa del Carmen.

This service as such, does not go all the way to the Cancun airport: But it does go over the main avenue. This means that you can get off on the federal highway Cancun – Chetumal, at the Cancun airport and walk about 20 minutes to reach the airport of the city.

The cost of this type of transfer is 45.00 MXN and is the most economical.
