Mexico airport exit guides

Curbside taxis at Mexican airports are the single biggest rip-off you'll meet on arrival. Always pre-pay at the official 'Taxi Autorizado' booth inside the terminal, or use Uber/Didi from the designated zone.

Common exit risks
  • Curbside 'taxi' touts at CUN with fake official lanyards
  • Time-share reps disguised as transport help
  • USD pricing inflating the fare 2–3×
Cash & card advice
  • Authorized taxis are pre-paid at the booth in MXN. Card accepted at most booths. Avoid USD pricing — it's always worse.
Ride-hailing status
  • Uber and Didi work at CUN, MEX, GDL, SJD — but pickup rules vary by terminal. Walk past the curb touts to the official ride-hailing zone.
