FLYING INTO CANCUN:

Upon landing in Cancun, you will first go through a controlled area passing immigration. Then you will proceed to collect your baggage and finally go through customs before reaching the exit. You will notice right away a well-organized area consisting of booths for transportation, transfers and activities. It is highly recommended to pre-arrange your transfers and transportation to increase your savings and dramatically decrease your waiting time. Specially during high season, transfers can be frustrating. So plan ahead with this guide, and you will be ahead of everyone else.

SAFETY IN CANCUN AIRPORT:

Be aware of cop-artsts and solicitations for transfers by companies that not legitimate, registered or insured. Always use a reputable company or simply book online prior to your trip to be sure that you are in good hands. The bus is a choice that is inexpensive, and you can travel pretty much anywhere with the ADO company. This is highly recommended for solo travelers or groups in a budget. Taxis are another option to travel anywhere quick, however you will pay a higher price. The best advice on this guide is to NOT talk or stop for anybody until you find your representative for your transportation booking or your resort company. These people go as far as grabbing your baggage and literally make you follow them and hold you until you pay before taking you anywhere to or outside Cancun. Not only will you receive a probably bad deal, but your safety is at risk. Always pre-plan your transfers.

If you are visiting Cancun, then the local transportation system is cheap and we highly recommend using that. Even a cab to travel mostly anywhere in Cancun for 3 visitors or less (limited trunk space) is a good idea. If you are a larger group, then grab a local Cancun shuttle transportation for a flat fee.
