Hi all...returning tomorrow to playa!!...we usually rent a car..but bringing our 2 yr old for his first trip and thought it may be easier to taxi in and out..can someone tell me the going rates for taxi to/from Cancun airport? and are the fares fixed price or negotiable?....my wife hates it, but i enjoy haggling ...thanks so much

The fares from the airport are fixed - about $65 US if memory serves me but I'm sure someone can provide the exact amount.

Other than that it's let's make a deal time.

You will be able to haggle with the shuttle drivers. In all of my trips, I've never taken the ADO from the airport to Playa. I always intend to, but I'm usually happy with the final price they offer.
They always use the same line......."Bus JUST left, so you'll have to wait another hour." I just smile and say "that's ok" and continue to walk. They always follow me and the game begins
We've never paid more than $40 US + a tip

Good tip. I've done the same. It's pretty easy to get them from 60 to 40

My husband usually let's me take the lead in the game (he's not very good at it) The guy even commented last time that I must be the boss
Sometimes they have radioed for a car & other times it has been a shared van (with only 1 other couple)

Unless it's late and the last ADO bus has left then you're paying the asking price...

The ADO Aeropuerto (Airporter) costs $10 USD. Use the difference to have a good meal or two while you're here.
