Each terminal at Cancun Airport (Terminals 2, 3 and 4) has its own paid parking lot in front of the building, open 24 hours. It is meant for people dropping off or picking up passengers and for short stays; for a week-long trip, a transfer or taxi usually costs less.

Picking someone up

  • Check the terminal first on the live arrivals board; Terminals 2, 3 and 4 are several minutes apart by car.
  • Allow 45–60 minutes after landing for immigration, bags and customs on international flights.
  • Wait outside the exit. Only passengers can enter the arrivals hall, so meet them at the door, where transfer drivers also wait.
  • Stopping in the drop-off lane is only for loading and unloading; park in the lot to wait.

Leaving a car for several days

Parking at the terminal adds up quickly over several days. For long trips it is usually cheaper to take a private transfer (from 44 USD one way to the Hotel Zone) or, if you rented a car, to return it at the airport. See renting a car at Cancun Airport.
