Whether you arrive at Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depends primarily on your airline or your country of origin. Most likely, however, you will enter Mexican soil in Terminal 3 and, depending on the car rental company, you will be able to pick up the documents for your rental car either at the airport in Terminal 2 near the baggage carousel or in Terminal 3 near the exit. However, since some car rental companies do not have their own pick-up station in the airport building, it is possible that an employee of the car rental company is already waiting for you at the exit and will drive you to the company's offices outside the airport building in a shuttle.
Our tip: Use the free shuttle bus between the terminals to get to your destination faster.
Although you could theoretically access the rental cars of around 24 car rental companies at Cancún Airport, not all companies have a pick-up station and counter in the airport building.

We have put together a small selection of the car rental companies in which you can rent almost any car that comes closest to your imagination, from small cars to SUVs, below:
