The Vehicle Options and What They Mean for You
Pricing is set at $60 for a group of up to 6 people, which is quite reasonable considering it’s a private, air-conditioned ride. If you’re traveling with a larger group—say, a family with kids or a small tour group—you might want to look into their bigger vehicles, which accommodate 7-10 or even 11-21 passengers.
This flexibility allows you to pick a vehicle based on your group size and luggage needs, making your travel experience more personalized. The selection of sizes ensures that you won’t be paying for more space than you need, or worse, squeezing into a vehicle that’s too small.
The Experience: What To Expect
The process is simple. Once you land at Mérida International Airport, you’ll be greeted by your driver at the designated meeting point. With confirmation received within 48 hours of booking, you can plan your arrival or departure knowing your ride is secured.
The vehicles are air-conditioned, which is a must in Mérida’s tropical climate. Expect a smooth, quiet ride as your driver takes care of the navigation, allowing you to relax after your flight or prepare for your journey home.

Travelers who have used similar services mention that the driver’s professionalism contributes significantly to a positive experience, and having your own vehicle means you’re not hurried or cramped.
The Practicalities: Timing, Booking, and Costs
The trip lasts approximately 30 minutes, which means you’ll get to your hotel or the airport in a quick, comfortable ride. The fixed price per group simplifies budgeting—there are no surprises or hidden fees. Since the service is non-refundable and cannot be changed, it’s wise to confirm your plans and book ahead, especially during peak travel times.
Most travelers find this service offers good value for the convenience, especially when compared to the cost and hassle of public transportation or taxis that might not be waiting for you upon arrival.
