Once you arrive to the airport, you can only board authorized taxis, which can be easily distinguished and are paid directly at the checkout. The approximate cost of service to the city is $250.00 Mexican pesos (around $13 USD). The cost of the taxi can only be covered in Mexican pesos, so it is recommended to change money from your locations, because the currency bank at the airport is closed. There is an ATM at the airport of the HSBC bank and there is also the possibility of paying the taxi with a bank card, but the cashier must be indicated when requesting the taxi.

Taxis can be shared by up to four people and it is enough to indicate the hotel to which they are going to be transported by taxi. It is possible to say that, due to several problems between taxi drivers of the airport site and taxi drivers of Uber, it is only possible to order Uber leaving the airport facilities (it is possible to return to the airport in Uber).
