Good service

The driver texted me while we were waiting for our bags. He was outside waiting for us. Good service, I will use them again.

Reginald_J · August 2026

beware the scam!!!!

They said for us to stay at the welcome bar and we were there by 2:15pm and we waited three hours and no one came. Then when I texted the phone number for e refund suddenly they answered telling us they cancelled the trip as an "No Show". Then they charged us again for the same trip. They were horrible and we requested a full refund through our bank.

Response from the operator: Hello Reginald, Regarding your review, we understand your frustration; however, we would like to clarify what actually happened on the day of your arrival, as we have supporting evidence of the entire situation. Your driver was at the airport on time and waited for you at the designated meeting point for more than 90 minutes after your flight landed, holding a sign with your name. Once the driver confirmed that there was no remaining luggage from your flight and that you were not going to arrive at the meeting point, he left because the waiting time included in your reservation had already expired. During this time, we made multiple attempts to contact you via SMS, iMessage, WhatsApp, and phone calls, but you did not respond. When you finally contacted us and were ready to leave the airport, approximately two hours after your flight had arrived, we clearly explained that the service had been marked as a *traveler no-show* because you had not arrived, contacted us, or boarded the vehicle within the included waiting time. Despite this, when you asked us for assistance getting to your hotel, we did not simply leave you without an option. We arranged an additional vehicle for you. We were completely transparent that this would involve an additional charge, and, as a courtesy, we did **not** charge you the regular commercial rate for the transfer. The amount charged was only intended to cover the driver's fuel expenses and working hours. There was absolutely no scam or hidden charge involved. We clearly explained why the original service had been classified as a no-show, the waiting time that had been provided, and the additional cost of arranging a new vehicle after that waiting period had expired. You were fully informed of the alternative and voluntarily accepted it. If you genuinely believed this was a scam, you were free to decline the service and make your own transportation arrangements. We understand that the situation was frustrating, but describing it as a scam is simply inaccurate and does not reflect what occurred. Our team acted in accordance with the conditions of the reservation, made repeated attempts to contact you, waited well beyond the included waiting time, and still made an effort to assist you after the original service had concluded. We are always happy to assist our passengers, but we also believe it is important to be transparent about the facts and not allow a legitimate service charge to be misrepresented as an attempt to take advantage of a situation. We remain confident that the service was handled clearly, punctually, and professionally, and we have the supporting evidence available to substantiate the above.

Overall great experience

Great overall even with the mixed reviews I recommend this company. The mixed reviews had me nervous at first only because of the transportation getting back to the airport. But It was worth price, they contact you 24hrs to confirm and if your having uncertainty about the driver ask for there information and they are willing to share that information with you and you can personally contact them for clarity.

Private Transportation to/from Cancun airport: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Playa del Carmen.

How much does Private Transportation to/from Cancun airport cost?

+

Prices start at $43 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Playa del Carmen usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does Private Transportation to/from Cancun airport take?

+

Plan for about 0.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Playa del Carmen is not rushed.

Is Private Transportation to/from Cancun airport worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 466 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Playa del Carmen, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule Private Transportation to/from Cancun airport?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is Private Transportation to/from Cancun airport suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book Private Transportation to/from Cancun airport?

+

Around 163 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Playa del Carmen can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Playa del Carmen and add a light layer if any part of the 0.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does Private Transportation to/from Cancun airport start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Playa del Carmen within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Playa del Carmen?

+

On Outty we rank every Playa del Carmen experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include VIP Chichen Itza Private Tour, VIP Tulum Private Tour, Chichen Itza Private Tour VIP. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Playa del Carmen?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Playa del Carmen?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
