Dream beach of Cancun
You are landing in the Summer 2020 at Cancún Airport (CUN) and would like to explore the Yucatan Peninsula and Cancún by rental car? If so, it is best to rent a car directly from home at one of the suppliers at Cancún Airport in order to take advantage of the best prices for online bookings. Compare prices of car rental companies at Cancún Airport and choose the car rental company that best suits your holiday destination. Through the months June, July, August and September you are expected to be welcomed with temperatures up to 33 degrees on your arrival at the airport.
Rental car stations - convenient located
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.
Pick-up your rental car 24/7
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. Therefore, it is advisable to book a rental car in advance by comparing prices. This guarantees you the cheapest car rental on arrival.
