What is the "Taxi Overcharge from Cancun Airport" scam in Puerto Morelos?

Question

Accepted Answer

Taxi drivers at Cancun International Airport and authorized shuttle services charge significantly inflated rates for the 35-kilometer transfer to Puerto Morelos. Some drivers claim the town does not appear in the official fare zone chart and invent a higher rate on the spot. A legitimate metered or zone fare to Puerto Morelos runs around 400-600 MXN but drivers frequently quote 1,000-1,500 MXN to arrivals with luggage. Book an ADO bus or pre-arranged shuttle to Puerto Morelos before landing. If using a taxi, use only the official taxi counter inside the arrivals hall and ask for the printed zone rate to Puerto Morelos. Do not accept rides from anyone approaching in the arrivals hall outside the official counter.
