PLAYA DEL CARMEN TAXI FAQ's
Q: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO
GO TO THE CANCUN AIRPORT?
A: From Playa del Carmen to the Cancun Airport (CUN)
takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on traffic.
Most people traveling to and from the airport opt to
take a private
airport transfer or
shuttle rather than a taxi, as you know just how
much it will cost, and the vehicles are usually more
comfortable, very safe and on time.
Q: IS IT SAFE TO TAKE A
TAXI IN PLAYA DEL CARMEN?
A: Yes. Tourists, expats and locals take taxis
routinely around town, they are readily available and it
is very usual for tourists to use taxis to get to tour
meeting locations or restaurants. Most people opt
for a tour in order to visit
attractions, as they are further outside of town and
more expensive, you usually get picked up at your hotel,
and you have a tour guide that speaks English to help
you enjoy your tour. Of course take the usual
precautions you would take anywhere.
Q: DO I NEED TO CALL FOR A
TAXI? DO THEY SPEAK ENGLISH?
A: Taxis are available at all Playa del Carmen
hotels. They are also present at taxi stands all
over town, and you can sometimes flag one down but
usually that is hard because they're usually full of
people. You may need to walk a few blocks to find
a nearby taxi stand, but they are easy to spot.
They often don't speak English, though nowadays it is
becoming more common. Just learn a few basic words
like "Cuanto" (how much?) and the numbers so you can
understand the reply. Ask your restaurant, hotel
or store to call one for you, that is an easy way to get
one.
