Land knowing where you're headed.
Live flights, all four terminals, the immigration wait and how to reach your hotel with no surprises at the counter.
Immigration queue · estimated (updated 5 min ago)
Estimated, not measured. Worked out from the international flights that have just landed, the size of the aircraft and how full they typically are. The real queue can differ — how many booths are open at that moment changes it more than anything else.

There are four ways to reach your hotel
Here they are, what each one costs and who it suits. The airport taxis are the only ones allowed to pick up passengers inside the terminal, and their fares run higher than a transfer booked in advance.
Mexico's transport ministry stated in October 2025 that ride-hailing apps hold no authorisation to pick up passengers at the country's airports, and in March 2026 Cancun airport ruled out giving them space. We recommend not relying on Uber for your arrival — why, and what to use instead.
ADO bus
Runs from every terminal to downtown Cancun and Playa del Carmen. The cheapest option if your hotel is near a stop.
Private transfer
A driver waits with your name at the customs exit. Flat price per vehicle, no matter how many of you there are. If your flight is late, the driver waits.
Airport taxi
Available without booking, right outside each terminal. Fare by zone, paid at the counter before you board.
Car rental
Worth it if you plan to explore the Riviera Maya. Note: third-party liability insurance is required by Mexican law.
Book your Cancun airport transfer
Flat price per vehicle. Your flight is tracked: if it lands late, the driver waits.

What to know before you pack
Not to alarm you: so nothing catches you out at the counter or at customs.
Two things surprise a lot of travellers: e-cigarettes and vapes cannot be brought into Mexico, and medical cannabis prescribed abroad is not valid at the border either. We explain what happens in each case and how to avoid it, with the date we verified each fact.
