Car Rental at 'Cancun - Airport'

Airport location, terminals and transportation

Cancún International Airport is located in Cancún, on the Caribbean coast of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula. It is now Mexico's leading airport in terms of international passengers and the second busiest airport of the country. It has been functioning since 1974 and operates 2 runways. The air terminal services about 24 million passengers a year. Cancún International Airport has four terminals, all of which are currently in use. Free shuttles transport passengers between them.

At the airport, the arriving passengers can pre-book a transfer service. Private certified carriers operate all the routes from the airport and offer various models of vehicles. What is more, pre-booking transfer service will cost you much cheaper than taking a taxi to the city. Besides, you can order a limousine. ADO buses depart regularly from the airport terminals to the cities of Cancún and Playa del Carmen.

Rental offices, how to find them, where to return car

The car rental companies offer advance booking. In this case, a representative of the company will meet the arriving passengers and take them to the office so that they may conclude a rental agreement and pick up a rental vehicle. The number of car rental companies operates at CUN. These are ADO car rental, Right cars, America car rental, Mex rent a car, National, Dollar, Sixt, and Alamo. The rental vehicles are collected from the parking lots placed in the territory of the airport. The cars of several companies are picked up from the locations outside the airport. The employees of the firm take clients to these locations by a shuttle. The Information about the companies, rental terms and conditions can be obtained at the car rental desks in the arrival halls of the terminals.

In order to register a rental agreement you will be required to present a valid driver's license (the driving experience must exceed 1 year), a credit card, an identity card, or a passport. The driver should be aged 21 or over. The drivers under 25 years of age will have to pay higher car rental charge. Taxes, an airport charge, a terminal service fee, insurance fees, a tourist fee and some other charges will be included in the rental cost. There is a surcharge for introducing the second driver into the agreement. Supplementary equipment is paid separately.

Fuel policy depends on the selected car rental company. The firms often operate a full tank policy, according to which you receive and return the rental car with a full tank. Leaving the peninsula and the country by the car should be agreed upon when signing the rental agreement. Some companies take an additional charge for that. Advance booking can be cancelled free of charge. Furthermore, you can change the car reservation at least 48 hours before the inception of the rental period.

Long-term and short-term parking, hotels nearby

Parking lots are placed next to each terminal. A hotel is set beside Passenger Terminal 4. The easiest way to reach the hotels lying outside the territory of the airport is to pre-book a transfer. The nearest hotels to the airport are the Comfort Inn and the Courtyard by Marriott.
