Playa del Carmen sits about 68 km south of Cancun Airport, roughly 55 minutes by road. Our private transfer collects you at arrivals and takes you straight to your hotel on Quinta Avenida, in Playacar or along the Mayakoba corridor.
About this route
Playa del Carmen covers a wide stretch of coastline, from the shops and restaurants of Quinta Avenida down to the gated resorts of Playacar Fase I and II, and further along to Mayakoba and Puerto Aventuras. Because the drive runs about 68 km and takes around 55 minutes, having a private vehicle waiting for you removes the need to coordinate shuttles or taxis once you land.
Your driver monitors your flight so the pickup adjusts automatically if it lands early or late, and there is no extra charge for delays. Meet and greet takes place in the arrivals hall with a name board, making it easy to find each other in a busy terminal. Luggage is not limited per seat, and if you are travelling with children, child seats can be arranged as long as you mention it when booking.
Book ahead of your trip if you can, though we can also handle short notice requests depending on availability. The fare is closed and fixed for the vehicle, covering USD, MXN or EUR payment by cash, card or bank transfer, with no hidden waiting fees added on arrival. The service operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and tipping your driver is appreciated but never obligatory.
