Airport Transfer

A lot of Agency services may charge as much as $150 usd  for a round-trip transfer to/from the airport for 2 people. When I travel to Playa I use a very reliable and reputable private Van/Limo service that costs me less and the price is usually per family up to 6. When I'm traveling with 3 or more people it's an excellent service to consider. I recommend this private transfer service for all my clients.
The company uses private air conditioned vans and when they pick you up at the airport they hold a sign with your name. I will provide you with this information after confirmed booking at your request. This again is booked in advance with your vacation. I can also book it for you and place the charges on you vacation package. The private service is always there and always at Paseo when you need them and on time regardless if your flight is delayed.

Taxi service is abundant. A taxi can also bring you direct from the airport to Paseo Del Sol for about $50 usd. Try not to get overcharged for taxi service. Prices as of December 2008 I paid $47 usd.  Just make sure your party and luggage all fit in the small taxi cabs. Some taxi cars are station wagons and work well for additional suitcases and larger families. You can't order taxi pick in advance. You simple arrange it as soon as you exit the airport. Don't worry, they're all waiting for you at the exit. 

A one-way transfer by shuttle van for a party of 4 people would cost you $72 dollars (usd) or $18 dollars per person. Keep in mind that the shuttle van does make stops along the way and may take a little over 1 hours to reach your destination. You can't order taxi pick in advance. You simple arrange it as soon as you exit the airport.

If you arrange to use the Shuttle Van service, it will be a one-way service. Currently shuttle van service is only from the airport. Your return to the Cancun airport would require you to travel by privite van/limo, taxi from Paseo. A bus also leaves daily from the Playa del Carmen bus depot located on the pedestrian boulevard corner of 5th Avenue and Benito Juarez. Coordinate bus tranportation to the airport in advance. Any taxi service in Playa will take you to the airport. Just arrange it a few days in advance. arrange any service for pickup in front of Paseo at lease 3.5 hours before your departure flight time.

And remember, taxi's are abundant, so you can always wave down a taxi cab any day of the week at any time. You can always make arrangement by exchanging information for pickup at Paseo del Sol and drop off at the airport.
Here is a phone number for your convenience. 984-117-2813 Taxi Number 104. Ask for Antonio as he works out of Playa del Carmen and will take you to where you need to go anytime. Call anytime. He speaks some english, yet he is honest, kind and friendly.

Keep in mind you must arrive at the Cancun airport 3 hours prior to departure.

If you want to see the area without depending on someone, then rent a car and do it all yourself. It's not hard to get around and most rental agencies have made if very easy to fill out minimal paper work and renting from anywhere in the Riviera Maya.
