Airport Transportation in Mérida
Pre-booked private transportation takes you directly from Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport to your hotel, resort or vacation rental.
After immigration, baggage claim and customs, continue outside the terminal to the meeting area named in your confirmation. Your vehicle is reserved only for the passengers on your reservation: unlike a shared shuttle, it makes no extra hotel stops for other travelers, and the price is per vehicle, not per person.
From MID, airport transportation in Mérida covers the historic center, Paseo de Montejo and the north of the city, the haciendas around Mérida and the beach town of Progreso, with longer rides to Izamal, Valladolid, Chichén Itzá and Campeche.
Mérida Airport Transfers
Mérida airport transfers start in the ground-floor arrivals area: your driver meets you there after baggage claim, and customs on international flights, and we track your flight so a delay doesn't cost you the pickup. The price is fixed per vehicle before you fly, from sedans for couples to vans for families and groups.
Each Mérida airport transfer goes door to door, to boutique hotels in the historic center, homes along Paseo de Montejo, haciendas in the Yucatán countryside or beach houses in Progreso.
Mérida Airport Shuttle
Our Mérida airport shuttle is a private van for your party only: it leaves as soon as you're through arrivals and goes straight to your address, with no stops for other passengers. There's room for luggage and gear, which suits families, wedding guests heading to a hacienda and groups starting a trip around Yucatán.
Landing at Mérida Airport
Mérida International Airport (Manuel Crescencio Rejón, MID) sits inside the city, less than 5 km southwest of the historic center. All flights use one two-storey terminal: arrivals, immigration, customs and baggage claim are on the ground floor, and departures are upstairs, with 11 gates.
International passengers clear immigration, collect their bags and pass customs; domestic passengers go straight to baggage claim. The airport is open around the clock.
Mérida and the rest of Yucatán run on Central Standard Time (UTC−6) all year, one hour behind Cancún.
Haciendas and rural stays
Many haciendas and retreats sit on rural roads outside Mérida. Give the full property name, the nearest village and any access directions when you book.
Give the exact address in the city
The historic center's streets are numbered, with even numbers running north–south and odd numbers east–west; add the cross streets ("Calle 60 x 55 y 57") so the driver finds the door.
Ride offers at the terminal
Turn down unsolicited offers of transport inside or just outside the terminal and wait for the driver named in your confirmation.
Entry
International visitors need a valid passport. Carry some pesos for tips and small purchases.

Where will my driver meet me at Mérida Airport?
In the ground-floor public arrivals area of the single terminal, after baggage claim and, on international flights, customs. Your confirmation names the exact meeting point.
How far is Mérida Airport from the historic center?
Less than 5 km. The airport sits inside the Mérida urban area, southwest of the center, so the ride to most hotels in the city is short. Destinations elsewhere in Yucatán take longer.
Can you take me from Mérida Airport to Valladolid, Chichén Itzá or Progreso?
Yes. Enter the full address on the booking form to see the vehicles and fixed price available for that route before you pay.
Is Mérida in a different time zone from Cancún?
Yes. Yucatán uses Central Standard Time (UTC−6) all year, while Cancún and Quintana Roo use UTC−5. Mérida is one hour behind Cancún, so give pickup times in local Mérida time.
What is the official name of Mérida Airport?
Manuel Crescencio Rejón International Airport, code MID. Most travelers simply call it Mérida Airport or Mérida International Airport.
Can I book transportation for a late-night or early-morning flight?
Yes. The airport is open 24 hours, and transportation can be scheduled for late arrivals and early departures. Availability is confirmed through the booking system, so book ahead.
Can you take me to a hacienda outside Mérida?
Yes. Many hacienda hotels and wedding venues sit on rural roads. Give the hacienda name, the nearest village and any access directions when you book.
Can you take me to Izamal or Celestún?
Yes. Enter your hotel in Izamal, Celestún or another Yucatán town to see the vehicles and fixed price before you pay.
Can I book transportation to an Airbnb in the historic center?
Yes. Enter the full address with the cross streets (for example "Calle 60 x 55 y 57") so the driver finds the door.
Should I buy transportation from agents inside the terminal?
No. If you already have a booking, turn down offers of transport inside or just outside the terminal and head to the meeting point in your confirmation.
What happens if my flight is delayed or canceled?
We monitor the flight on your reservation, so a delay doesn't cancel your pickup. If your flight number, date or airline changes, or the flight is canceled, update it in Manage your booking as soon as you know.
Is Airport Transportation the same as Mérida International Airport?
No. Airport Transportation is an independent transportation-booking service, not the airport operator, an airline or a government authority. For terminal, airline and facility details, see the Mérida International Airport page.
