This was sent to me by our Genie, Bing Bai, on the Harmony of the Seas. Thanks Bing, you're phenomenal.
As of June 15, 2024, these are the posted Taxi Rates from the International Pier to the listed destinations around Cozumel. Note that the prices are in U.S. dollars and are broken down into groups up to 4 passengers and groups of 5-8 passengers. You need to know the rates because some taxi drivers will quote a higher rate, hoping you do not know the correct rate. They CANNOT charge more than the posted rates. Confirm the rate with the driver before you get in the taxi.
If the taxi does not pick you up / drop you off at one of the three cruise piers (eg., at a hotel or business nearby), there is a different, significantly less expensive rate, that is quoted in pesos and is determined by the "zone" in which you were picked up and the "zone" or hotel to which you are going. Those rates are based on the City's Center, so if 5 passengers are traveling from a hotel in Zona Sur 3 to a hotel in Zona Norte 2, they would add the two rates to get the correct total (you essentially pay the rate from your pick-up location to the city center plus the rate from the city center to your destination). I have posted that official rate sheet as well.
And finally, I am also attaching a copy of the taxi rates from the Punta Langosta Pier (where Carnival and other ships dock). This was the sign posted as of April 2024 and comes courtesy of a post on another cruise blog. The rates are the same as the International Pier since they are almost side-by-side.
Happy cruising, and don't pay more than you should be paying for a taxi ride around Cozumel. Just remember to give the driver a fair tip!
