Officially Set

The Cancun taxi rate was officially set on January 1, 2024. Taxi tariffs in Mexico are officially set by cities or districts.

How the fare is made up under the Cancun taxi rate:

The taxi tariff in Cancun is based on a combination of a base fare, distance traveled, and waiting time. When you start a taxi journey, the initial fee you pay is the base fare, which is 60.00 MXN. This amount covers the cost for getting into the taxi and the beginning of your trip.

After the base fare, you pay for the distance you travel. For every kilometer travelled during your ride, the cost is 51.41 MXN. This price applies to each additional kilometer, allowing you to easily estimate your fare if you know your route distance.

If the taxi needs to wait for you, for example, in heavy traffic or if you ask the driver to stop, there is a charge for waiting time. The waiting time is charged at 206.60 MXN per hour. This fee is added on top of the distance-based charges and the base fare.
