🛑 How to avoid tourist scams at Cancun Airport ✈️
Cancun Airport is one of the busiest in Latin America. While most services are legitimate, some common scams can ruin the start of your vacation. Here are practical tips to protect yourself from the moment you land.
🎭 Most Common Scams
- Fake Transporters: People posing as official drivers offering "discounted" rides. They ask for cash and then disappear or charge hidden fees. Identify them by their aggressive insistence.
- Timeshare Sharks (The "Shark Tank"): Inside the terminal, people will offer free tours or breakfast. Their goal is to sell you a timeshare. If you are not interested, keep walking.
- Misleading Information: People claiming your pre-booked transportation was canceled to convince you to buy a new ride with them. Always ignore them and look for your official driver outside.
- Surprise Charges: Unregulated taxis may charge unofficial rates or add supplements upon arrival.
🛡️ How to Protect Yourself
- Book in Advance: The safest way is to arrive with your service already confirmed. Avoid negotiating prices when you are tired from your flight.
- Ignore the "Pullers": When exiting customs, walk straight to the exit. Do not stop for anyone inside the corridor.
- Confirm with your Operator: If in doubt, contact us via WhatsApp before exiting.
- Use Regulated Transport: Verify license plates, official logos, and the driver's name.
