Avoid Taxi drivers

Why You Should Avoid Airport Taxis and Choose Private Transportation Instead

When arriving at Cancun International Airport, the last thing you want is stress, confusion, or—worse—a scam. Unfortunately, airport taxi drivers are known for using aggressive and misleading tactics to take advantage of travelers, especially those unfamiliar with the area.

Here’s why we strongly recommend avoiding airport taxis and sticking with trusted, pre-arranged private transportation like Cancun Private Transfers:


🚫 Common Taxi Scams at the Airport

  • They make you feel unsafe or confused. Some taxi drivers approach you persistently, making it hard to think clearly after a long flight.
  • They pretend to be your transportation provider. It’s common for them to claim they’re calling your transfer company, only to lie and say your service has been canceled or delayed — just to convince you to go with them instead.
  • They may even show a real call screen, but lie about the conversation. Always make the call yourself or ask to speak directly with your confirmed company. Never let them speak on your behalf.
  • Never pay by card. They may say they’ll charge you in Mexican Pesos, but instead charge you in U.S. Dollars — for example, quoting you $1,600 MXN (which sounds reasonable) but actually charging $1,600 USD. Since you entered your PIN, banks often won’t dispute it.
  • Their rates are abusive. A one-way ride to Cancun with an airport taxi can cost $80 USD or more — whereas with us, the same service in a comfortable private sedan is only $39 USD.
