When visiting Akumal we always recommend renting a car. There is so much to see and do and coming out of Cancun International can quickly become costly.

If renting a car is not in your plans however there are few great options available to you. If you have any questions or would like more information, please e-mail us directly at info@akumaldirect.com.

Private Ground Transport

Ground Transport Services are available for small or very large groups of people. Generally speaking, one way travel between airport and Akumal costs between $60.00 US and $85.00 US for 2 people and up to $200.00 US for six. We would be happy to help with ground transport arrangements. This is offered only as a complimentary service to our clients therefore price is subject to change without notice. For more information, please e-mail us directly at info@akumaldirect.com.

Always be sure to have a printed confirmation voucher clearly stating the time and date of your service, the number of people in your group and the price you are to pay the driver. It is generally the custom to tip your driver if you happy with your service.

Please ask for special instructions in the off chance that you do not see your driver after clearing customs. Most agencies will provide an emergency contact or cell phone number.
