Quick answer
A private transfer from Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen costs $80 USD flat for 1 to 8 passengers and takes 60 to 75 minutes. The route runs 68 km (42 miles) south on Highway 307. Your driver meets you inside the terminal, helps with luggage and takes you straight to your hotel — no shared van, no extra stops.
How the Playa del Carmen transfer works
You book with your flight number 24-48 hours before arrival. TT & More tracks the flight, so a delay does not cost you the ride and does not cost you extra. After customs you walk out to the arrivals hall where your driver is waiting with a sign.
From there it is a single, direct ride down Highway 307. In normal conditions the drive is 60-75 minutes. Holiday weekends, Sunday afternoons and the weekday 5-7 PM window can add 15-20 minutes — we build that into the pickup timing on the return leg.
What is included
Included: private vehicle for your group only, meet-and-greet at arrivals, flight monitoring, luggage space, bottled water, bilingual driver and door-to-door drop-off at your Playa del Carmen address.
Not included: gratuity, and any additional stop (supermarket, second hotel, restaurant) unless you request it when booking so we can quote it up front. There are no airport surcharges and no late-night surcharge on this route.
Private transfer vs ADO, taxi and shared shuttle
The ADO bus runs direct from terminals 2, 3 and 4 to the Playa del Carmen downtown terminal in about 75 minutes for $270 MXN, but it drops you at the terminal — you still need a taxi to your hotel with your luggage. A shared shuttle is cheaper per person at around $35/pp, but it waits to fill and then makes 5-8 drop-offs before yours.
Frequently asked questions
How much is a taxi from Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen?
An airport taxi typically runs $115-140 USD. A TT & More private transfer is $80 USD flat for 1 to 8 passengers, booked in advance at a price that does not change at the curb.
How long is the drive from Cancun Airport to Playa del Carmen?
60 to 75 minutes in normal traffic, covering 68 km (42 miles) south on Highway 307. Allow an extra 15-20 minutes on holiday weekends and during the 5-7 PM weekday window.

Per vehicle. $80 USD covers the whole group from 1 to 8 passengers, so a family of six pays the same as a solo traveler.

Yes. The return leg is the same flat rate. We schedule the pickup based on your departure time and the traffic window that day.
