Taxis are also plentiful in Cancun, however they tend to be expensive. While most fares within downtown Cancun are less than MXN20, fares in the Hotel Zone are higher. Cab drivers have set rates for many popular destinations. Taxis are the only form of late-night transportation, as walking at night is not considered safe.
