Private Shuttle Chiquila to Cancun Airport & Hotel Zone

Summary

Direct Private Transfer Service from Chiquila Pier to Cancun

This is your chance to skip crowded buses and enjoy a private shuttle between Chiquila Pier and Cancun Airport or Hotel Zone. Set your own pickup time, relax in an air-conditioned ride, and stop along the way if you need snacks or a break. Perfect for small groups looking for comfort and flexibility after arriving by ferry.

What’s the experience like?

“Look for your name,” our driver had said, and sure enough, there he was—waiting just past the ferry ramp at Chiquila, holding a sign in the morning sun. The air felt thick with salt and a little bit of engine oil from the boats nearby. We’d barely stepped off the ferry when he waved us over, making it all feel easy after the bustle of getting our bags together.

The drive from Chiquila to Cancun Airport takes about two hours, but it didn’t drag at all. Our driver chatted about the small towns we passed—sometimes slowing down so we could spot a roadside fruit stand or a flock of birds darting above the mangroves. At one point, we asked if we could stop for snacks and a quick bathroom break; no problem at all. There’s an option to take the toll road too (it shaves off about 15 minutes), but you pay the fee directly in cash if you want that shortcut.

We set our own pickup time since we were coming from a hotel in Cancun’s Hotel Zone on the way back—just sent our address ahead and everything was arranged smoothly. The van was clean and cool inside, which honestly made a difference after standing out in the heat. I noticed families with strollers and even someone with a service dog boarding another shuttle nearby; it’s good to know they’re flexible for different needs.
