Before the hall: immigration, baggage and customs
How long you spend here depends on how many flights landed at once. It can be quick or run past an hour, and you cannot know beforehand.
That is why the drive times on this site count from after you walk out of the terminal: they cover the road, not your walk through immigration. The included wait, 90 minutes from the scheduled baggage delivery time, runs from there rather than from touchdown.
If you want to reach the checkpoint with your details in order, the arrival summary builds a page in Spanish and English with your flights, stay and transfer to carry printed. It is not an official document: it is a way to keep everything at hand.
The hall of promoters
Coming out of customs you pass a corridor of desks and people who step up to offer you transport, tours or hotel discounts. Some call you by your first name and ask which hotel you are going to. Part of those offers come attached to something else (a presentation, a tour, a promotion), and sometimes that only comes up afterwards.
None of them is your driver. Answering “I already have transport,” without stopping, is enough; you do not need to explain anything or show your booking.
If someone asks for your hotel name before telling you who they are, they are not your driver either: ours already knows where you are going because you entered it when you booked. What to say to each kind of offer is in the Cancun airport scams guide.
Where your driver waits
Outside the terminal, never inside the arrivals hall. It is an operational decision and also the simplest way for you to tell them apart: nobody inside is ours.
We send the meeting point with a photo, by WhatsApp and email, 24 hours before the flight. It already accounts for your arrival terminal; below is the landmark for each one, so you know what to look for on your way out.
If you come out and do not see your driver, message us on WhatsApp before taking anything else. We track your flight and we know you have landed: we stay in touch with you and get back to you until it is sorted out.
Terminal by terminal: what to look for on your way out
- Terminal 2: look for the “Grab N Go” kiosk.
- Terminal 3: walk toward the “Margaritaville” bar.
- Terminal 4: look for the “Welcome Bar” sign.
That is your landmark; the exact spot is the one in the photo we send 24 hours ahead, by WhatsApp and email. If you get there and do not see it, message us and we will get back to you.
How to confirm it is your driver
Three things, all at once: uniform, airport-issued ID and a sign with your name. If one is missing, ask for your booking reference before getting in.
The driver is paid nothing. Your transfer was charged online when you booked, so any request for money at the meeting point is a sign something is off.
The full list of what to check before getting into any vehicle is in the safety guide.
What to have ready
Your passport, the hotel address, and a phone with data or WhatsApp working. Nothing else.
You do not need to print anything or change money to pay us (the transfer is already paid), and you do not need to buy anything offered to you in the hall.
