    We have a morning flight leaving at 11 am. What time would USA Transfers likely pick up? Last year we did the super bus stopping at every resort and then an hour in line at the airport. It was horrid. And as we hadn't yet sobered up from the night before..... Pain that could have been avoided by more sleep or more breakfast.

    I'd love to avoid a repeat of that. How far is TTR from the airport ? Seemed like it took well over an hour on our super bus tour.

    TTR is one of the furthest hotels from the airport on the strip. If there are any others sharing a ride with you, you can count on them being dropped off first. It takes USA about 30 minutes to get to airport so I would say it is about 20 miles away.

    For accurate pricing go to the link and contact the transfer company. You will have an answer immediately.

    Note a round trip is when everyone in the vehicle arrives at the same time and departs at the same time. You can arrive together with another couple, but if you leave separately I would call that two separate round trips or one round trip and a one way for one of the couples.

    Wether you are in Cancun or a resort along the Mayan Riviera the Transfer Companies with good reputations are better if:

    ADO: will take you to Down the Riviera Maya for a little, you purchase tickets ahead of time or from the driver ask and someone will tell you where go. Cheap, but drops you at certain locations where you then cab or walk to your hotel.
    Safe and easy, but you are on ADO's Schedule.

    Charter Bus Transfers if you don't want to do a large bus where you could possibly be the last one off as they start at the South end of the Hotel Zone moving North, are in a hotel close to Playa as they start in the North dropping off to the South add 3.5 hours instead of 2 if you are near Tulum

    Shuttle Bus: shorter than the big busses, but still no stopping cattle style and most also stop at hotels starting to the South and moving North, unless you fill an entire bus with your group.

    Taxi: will stop if they decide to understand you, over charge you, but are quick, will only take people whose luggage fits so 3 possibly 4 in non air conditioned space. Not so friendly most times.

    Trusted Transfer Company: as you exit there is a plaque with either your name or the Company hired name on it, he radios to escalade, towncar, suburban etc, helps with your bags to the curb as the vehicle pulls up he and the driver load your stuff and off you go with or without air conditioning, stops where you want if prearranged (ie Costco, Walmart, etc) will stop for a vanilla cupcakes,water or bevie at the Oxxo and then zip you to your hotel in the quickest fashion with a smile and perhaps a bit of conversation along the way. And then at the end of the trip he is there to pick you up ontime and right to where you need to go at the time you have requested.

    Note: for bigger stops Costco, Walmart there is usually an extra charge. Time is money for them just as time is valuable for you.

    Get the transfer, in the end time is valuable and starting and ending a vacation with frustration is never a good thing.

    You choose it's pretty straight forward.
