Of the transfer firms that are not based in El Cuyo, Holboxha from Holbox have been used on several occasions and get good reviews for both transfers and sightseeing trips. You can find them on FACEBOOK. A transfer for 4 people from Cancun airport costs approximately 3000$mx depending on the time of year. You can also request a shopping trip en route.
By taxi:
Airport taxis pay an expensive permit to service the airport and therefore they pass this cost along to their customers. Getting a taxi on the spot from the airport will cost you as much as an organised private transfer.
To reduce the costs, you can go into the city and get a standard Cancun taxi. Take the ADO bus to Cancun bus station and pick up a normal taxi (cross the road from the ADO station as you’ll also pay more for the taxis that wait outside the station). A standard taxi should cost approximately 2000$mx for 4 people – but be choosy when you pick your taxi as lots have no AC and aren’t very comfortable!
All taxis have a dedicated number and are registered with the Syndicat. It’s always worth taking note of this number before you get in, just in case you have a complaint (the Syndicat has the power to ban the taxi driver from working). The number is painted on the door and the trunk.
Other options:
Check with your accommodation provider as sometimes they may have methods to collect you. Also, you can post in the Facebook group ‘Everything El Cuyo‘ or ‘Ride El Cuyo‘ and see if anyone is able to offer a pickup. Good luck!
