How Cancun airport car rental pickup works
Cancun International Airport has several terminals. To coordinate your arrival, provide your airline, flight number, scheduled arrival time and terminal, if known.
Collection procedures vary between rental companies. Some have airport counters, while others arrange a meeting point and a transfer to a nearby office.
Roady coordinates your airport reception in advance and provides a free transfer between the airport and its nearby office. Confirm the exact meeting point and collection procedure before your flight.

What to confirm before booking
A daily rate does not always show the complete rental cost. Request a quote for your exact dates and times, including insurance, optional services and any delivery or return charges.
Before confirming, check:
- The meeting point and collection procedure.
- Pickup and return times.
- Vehicle category and transmission.
- Passenger and luggage capacity.
- Fuel policy.
- Permitted mileage and driving area.
- Insurance coverage, deductibles and exclusions.
- Deposit payment and return procedure.
- Charges for additional drivers, when applicable.
Roady offers insurance included, unlimited mileage within the Yucatán Peninsula and free airport reception arrangements. Review the rental policies, insurance and deposit conditions before confirming your booking.
When comparing a Cancun airport car rental, consider the full arrangement: rental price, vehicle space, collection procedure and the funds needed for your security deposit.
Documents and security deposit
Tourists should prepare a valid driver’s license, official identification or passport, and their travel itinerary. Every person who will drive must be authorized under the rental agreement.
If you plan to share the driving, inform Roady before collection and confirm the requirements and any additional driver charges. Holding a valid license does not automatically authorize another passenger to drive the rental vehicle.
Consult our guide to renting a car in Cancun as a tourist, available in Spanish to prepare your documents.
Roady requires the following security deposits:
| Vehicle category | Deposit in MXN | USD reference |
|---|---|---|
| Cars | MXN $4,000 | US$250 |
| SUVs, minivans and vans | MXN $7,000 | US$450 |
The deposit can be provided in cash or with a Mexican or international debit or credit card. No credit card is required.
The US dollar amounts are references. Confirm the amount and currency applicable to your booking, particularly if you plan to use cash in dollars or an international card.
The rental payment and security deposit are separate. Ask how the deposit is processed and when it will be returned or released.
What included insurance means
Insurance included does not mean that you have no financial responsibility if the vehicle is damaged. Deductibles, exclusions and contractual obligations may apply.
Before signing, ask:
- Which coverages are included in the price?
- What deductible applies to damage or theft?
- Are tires, glass and scratches covered?
- Who is authorized to drive?
- Where may the vehicle be driven?
- How should an accident be reported?
- Which circumstances invalidate coverage?
Roady offers optional Full Cover protection for MXN $500 per day, covering glass, tires and scratches according to its terms. Exclusions still apply, so request the complete conditions before choosing this option.
In a covered accident, towing costs and a traffic fine may also apply in addition to the relevant deductible.
Choosing a vehicle for passengers and luggage
Choose your vehicle based on the airport journey, when everyone will be traveling with all their bags. A car that works well for daily outings may have insufficient space on arrival or departure.
A couple with two suitcases has different needs from a family with a stroller or seven adults with checked luggage.
| Travel needs | Vehicle category to consider |
|---|---|
| One or two travelers with moderate luggage | Economy car |
| Travelers wanting more room for longer journeys | Compact or midsize car |
| Family of up to five | Five-passenger SUV, subject to luggage capacity |
| Seven travelers with light luggage | Seven-seat vehicle |
| Larger groups or travelers with bulky luggage | Minivan or passenger van |
Seven seats do not automatically mean space for seven large suitcases. Using the third row can reduce the available cargo area.
For help selecting your vehicle, contact Roady with your passenger and luggage details. Include large suitcases, cabin bags, strollers and other bulky items so the team can recommend a suitable category.
What to do after landing
After collecting your luggage, check your phone for messages from the rental team. Confirm the agreed meeting point before leaving the terminal.
For general airport transportation information, consult the ground transportation directory published by ASUR.
When collecting your vehicle:
- Inspect the bodywork, tires, windows and interior.
- Take photographs or a video before departure.
- Check the fuel level.
- Make sure existing damage is recorded.
- Keep the rental agreement and assistance number accessible.
- Confirm that every driver is listed as authorized.
A clear inspection record helps prevent disagreements when returning the vehicle.
Planning your return to the airport
Confirm the return location and procedure before your departure day. Allow time for the vehicle inspection and the transfer to your terminal.
Your flight departure time and vehicle return time should be different. Plan enough time to complete the rental return and meet your airline’s check-in requirements.
Before returning the car, check the agreed fuel level and look under the seats and inside storage compartments for personal belongings.
If your plans change, contact Roady to confirm availability and any additional rental charges.
