Frequently Asked Questions
Which airport should I fly into?
Tulum’s own airport (TQO) is the closest: about 40 minutes to most accommodations. Cancun (CUN) is bigger and often cheaper, but it’s a 1.5 to 2 hour drive south. We run private shuttles from both.
How far in advance should I book?
Last-minute bookings are often possible, but we recommend booking at least 48 hours in advance.
How do I pay?
Airport shuttles and private drivers: cash (USD or Mexican pesos), card (5% surcharge) or online. Online payment must be made at least 24 hours in advance. ATV rentals: at least 50% with an online payment link.
What is the cancellation policy?
Airport shuttles and private drivers: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the ride. When your flight is canceled, you can cancel your shuttle at no cost even after that. ATV rentals: free cancellation up to 48 hours before the rental starts.
Do the drivers speak English?
Drivers of comfortable vehicles speak basic English and have years of experience driving guests who don’t speak Spanish, so language is rarely an issue. Luxury vehicles come with an English-speaking driver on request.
Is there a holiday surcharge?
From December 24 to January 11, a 20% surcharge applies to airport shuttles and private drivers.
