Your chauffeur meets you inside arrivals, not in the parking lot. Federal plates, flight tracking and a fixed price per vehicle.

Private transportation from Cancun International Airport

Cancun International Airport is the busiest airport in Mexico after Mexico City and the entry point for almost every traveler heading to the Riviera Maya. It is also where most trips start badly: unmarked taxis, timeshare desks disguised as transportation counters, and shuttles that fill every seat before they leave.

Ride Luxe Mexico is a federally licensed operator. We hold SICT permits, tourist ground transport plates and airport zone licenses. That combination is what allows our chauffeurs to walk into the terminal and meet you at arrivals with a name sign, instead of waiting outside in the parking lot like informal drivers are required to do.

Where we meet you at CUN

After you clear immigration and collect your luggage, you walk through customs and into the arrivals hall. Your chauffeur is standing there with a sign showing your name. No calls, no walking to a lot, no negotiating a price at the curb.

  • Terminal 2, domestic flights and some international carriers.
  • Terminal 3, most United States and Canadian airlines.
  • Terminal 4, the largest terminal, most international and charter traffic.

We track your flight in real time. If you land early, we are already there. If you are delayed three hours, the pickup time moves automatically and there is no extra charge.
