Prices at the airport aren’t standardized.

They can change based on:

  • time of day
  • demand
  • driver negotiation
  • whether you’re a tourist or local
  • distance to your resort

Because the price isn’t always agreed clearly before the trip, many tourists end up paying more than necessary.

That peace of mind is the main reason many travelers choose to pre-book instead of negotiating at the curb.
