Getting to and from Cancún International Airport

How to reach the city, and where each option picks you up.

Option
Frequency
Pickup point
Best for
ADO bus
Direct to Cancún Centro, Playa del Carmen and Tulum
Departures roughly every 15 minutes, depending on the route
Platforms outside Terminal 2, 3 and 4 — Terminal 1 has no ADO stop
ADO’s own blog says its airport fares run about 45% below other airport transport options; the bus to Playa del Carmen takes roughly 1h30–1h50, boarding order depends on which terminal you leave from
Authorised taxi
Single regulated fare since March 2025
Ranks outside each of the three working terminals
Mexico’s federal transport authority (SICT) forced every taxi company at the airport onto one regulated fare in March 2025, after years of the same ride costing wildly different amounts depending which driver you got
Uber
Legal at the kerb, despite state-level pushback
Terminal kerbside, like the taxi ranks
Uber operates here under a federal injunction against Quintana Roo’s mobility law — a legal fight the taxi unions have not given up on, so treat pickup rules as worth double-checking in the app on the day
Rental cars
Europcar and other chains at the terminal complex
Counters across the road from the terminals — Europcar’s desk, for one, is open 24 hours
The only way to reach cenotes and ruins outside the resort corridor on your own schedule
