Where do I find a taxi at Cancun Airport?

The only downside is finding an available cab and carrying your own luggage, which can be avoided if you pre-book a private transfer.

Useful Tips

Avoid accepting a ride with an unregistered driver, and be sure to negotiate your taxi tariff with the driver if you believe the initial price they quote is unfair.
If you're traveling in a larger group, it's best to book in advance to guarantee a larger vehicle.
Most standard taxis can fit 3 passengers comfortably with luggage, or 4 without large bags.
