Private transfers from Cancun International Airport (CUN)
L’aéroport international de Cancún (CUN) est la principale porte d’entrée vers la Riviera Maya et l’un des aéroports les plus fréquentés d’Amérique latine pour les vols internationaux. Situé au sud de la ville de Cancún, il dessert directement les grandes stations balnéaires de la région : Cancún, Puerto Morelos, PLAYA DEL CARMEN, Akumal, Tulum, Costa Mujeres, Holbox et Costa Maya.
Quel est le principal aéroport de Cancún, au Mexique ? Où est-il situé ? Quels sont son code et ses noms ?
L’aéroport international de Cancún constitue la principale porte d’entrée aérienne pour les Caraïbes mexicaines. L’installation opère sous le code IATA «CUN» et le code OACI «MMUN», ces identifiants apparaissant sur les billets d’avion, les étiquettes de bagages et les itinéraires du monde entier. Officiellement connu sous le nom Aeropuerto Internacional de L’aéroport se situe au Carretera Cancún-Chetumal Km. 22 dans le Quintana Roo, positionné aux coordonnées 21° 2′ 12″ N de latitude et 86° 52′ 37″ W de longitude. Cet emplacement stratégique place le terminal à environ 20 kilomètres au sud du Cancun City Center , assurant un accès rapide aux centres urbains et aux destinations de villégiature balnéaires.
Key advantages of private shuttles
Le service direct point à point transforme les arrivées à l’aéroport en transitions sans effort. Votre chauffeur dédié surveille l’état du vol en temps réel, ajustant automatiquement les horaires de prise en charge en cas de retards ou d’arrivées anticipées—Riviera Tours México garantit qu’un représentant attend avec votre nom affiché, éliminant toute confusion dans les terminaux bondés.
Flat rates eliminate financial uncertainty from travel budgets. Unlike taxis, which fluctuate depending on traffic conditions, private shuttles charge per vehicle rather than per passenger, making group travel exceptionally economical. Families appreciate complimentary child safety seats and the option to add grocery stop services for USD 25, stocking accommodations before check-in. Riviera Tours México includes complimentary soft drinks in every vehicle.

Is there a separate airport in Tulum?
Yes, Felipe Carrillo Puerto International Airport operates independently of Cancún International Airport. This airport, with the IATA code "TQO" and the ICAO code "MMTL", welcomed its inaugural flight on December 1, 2023. International flights began on March 28, 2024, with direct flights from Dallas-Fort Worth. Tulum Airport is located approximately 40 kilometers south of downtown Tulum and the beach areas, a 35- to 40-minute drive. Despite its proximity to Tulum, it is 70 to 120 kilometers from the main attractions of the Riviera Maya.

With over 8 years of experience in tourist transportation and 15 years of in-depth expertise in logistics, we are committed to providing excellent service that transforms every trip into a memorable and authentic experience.

Key advantages of private shuttles
A shared airport shuttle groups several passengers in the same vehicle with multiple stops and a fixed schedule. Traditional taxis operate on a negotiated fare, resulting in uncertainty about the final price and variable vehicle quality. Riviera Tours México private car service offers a fixed price per vehicle, a dedicated driver, and a direct route with no sharing or detours.
Y a‑t‑il un meilleur prix pour un aller‑retour ?
Booking a round trip allows you to get a better overall price than two separate bookings. Riviera Tours México applies a discount to the arrival + departure combo, which reduces the cost per trip and simplifies planning.
How far in advance should I book?
For peak season, it is advisable to book at least 48 hours in advance. Booking 48 hours in advance guarantees the availability of the ideal vehicle (sedan, van, group car) at the most popular flight times.

Les navettes bon marché et «cheap rides» sont‑elles sûres et fiables ?
Low-cost transportation services can be safe if they are properly insured and operated by licensed companies. However, this often means more passengers per vehicle and longer waiting times. Paying at the end of the journey offers greater security for the customer, especially when choosing an unfamiliar provider.
Puis‑je réserver en ligne et recevoir une confirmation instantanée ?
Riviera Tours Mexico's online booking system allows you to reserve your transfer in minutes from your phone or computer. An online form collects essential information: name, flight number, arrival time, final destination, and desired vehicle type. Once the €10/USD payment per person is processed, the client receives instant confirmation with their booking number, pickup time, and meeting point.
Comment vérifier si mon hôtel à Cancún propose une navette ou un transfert privé ?
Checking the official website remains the most reliable method. Look for the "Services" or "FAQ" section – transparent hotels clearly list "Transportation Included" or "Airport Shuttle ($)". Check the fine print of the reservation – statements like "Transportation included for stays of 5+ nights" or "Included only for the Presidential Suite" often appear at the bottom of the page. Contact the concierge by email – a written response avoids unpleasant surprises upon arrival. Specifically ask: Is the shuttle complimentary or is there a fee?
Est-il moins cher de réserver via l’hôtel ou avec une entreprise indépendante ?
Booking with an independent company (like Riviera Tours México) is often 30% to 50% cheaper than official hotel rates. Hotels often outsource transfers—marking up the price to take a commission, turning a transfer into a service costing or more. Cost transparency is key—private companies advertise a fixed price per vehicle, while hotels sometimes charge "per person," which can significantly increase the bill for a family of four.
Are the hotel shuttles in Cancun shared or reserved only for my group?
Les navettes gratuites d’hôtel sont presque toujours partagées (Shared Services). Le véhicule attend le remplissage – Vous devrez patienter que d’autres passagers (arrivant sur d’autres vols) montent à bord avant de partir. Arrêts multiples garantis – Le bus s’arrêtera à plusieurs lobbies (ex: Moon Palace Sunrise, puis Nizuc, puis Grand) avant de vous déposer, rallongeant le trajet de 20 à 40 minutes. L’exception «Privée» – Seuls les transferts payants spécifiques ou les suites très haut de gamme (ex: Inspira Suites chez Atelier) garantissent un véhicule exclusif sans attente.
