Shuttle Bus
by far the cheapest way of transportation in the Riviera Maya, but also the one that takes the longest.
The price is around $10 usd per person one way and you can go from the Cancun airport to Puerto Morelos (stop on the highway) and Playa del Carmen (bus station - 90 min).
Once you arrive you have to take a taxi to go to your hotel/condo.
If you are going to Tulum you have to change bus at Playa del Carmen bus station and after a stop at Puerto Aventuras and Akumal you will finally arrive to Tulum (stop on the highway not the hotel zone 180 min.)

You can still find buses with chickens and goats on the roof but for the most part they have all the comforts of the buses north of the boarder.
If you need to rent a bus let us know it can be arranged.

We at Travel Riviera Maya no longer book rental cars for our clients. We have found that it is more efficient for the client driving the car to make the reservation. We have also found often times you can get a better deal if you shop around online with some of the major car rental agencies and book it through them.

Most of the major rental car companies are in Cancun and Playa del Carmen, Mexico. If you have a good or bad experience with an agency, Please let us know so we can share it with our clients.
