Most travelers consider ADO buses one of the best ways to get around the Riviera Maya — and in many cases, they are. They’re frequent, reliable, comfortable, and stop at major destinations and resorts. Prices typically range from $9 (from Cancun downtown) to $15 (from Cancun Airport) to Playa del Carmen.

However, if you’re traveling with children, large groups, heavy luggage, or simply want a faster, hassle-free arrival, the best option is to book a shuttle in advance with Best Cancun Shuttle. In no time, you’ll be enjoying a drink at the seaside.

How much does a taxi from Cancun to Playa del Carmen cost?

A private taxi or pre-booked transfer from Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen typically costs between $55 and $100+ USD for a one-way trip, depending on the vehicle and group size.

Booking in advance is usually more affordable than taking a taxi on the spot, where fares can range from $100 to $150 USD. While safe and reliable, you may still end up paying more than expected.
