Playa del Carmen Airport luggage storage

All about Playa del Carmen Airport

Situated in the Mexican state of Quintana Roo, Playa del Carmen epitomizes the classic Caribbean experience. There are dozens of stylish resorts offering all-inclusive experiences, with plenty of outdoor adventures and historical landmarks to explore when you’re tired of baking in the sun on the famous beaches (if that’s even possible).  

Playa del Carmen, although less popular than Cancun, has created a more elegant and relaxed atmosphere more closely resembling a Mediterranean travel experience. With its elevated mystique, Playa del Carmen seems to attract honeymooners and expats rather than hard-partying spring breakers. 

The majority of international travelers will fly in through Cancun International Airport, which has direct flights throughout North America. Some visitors will have a connecting flight to Playa del Carmen Airport through Mexico City International Airport, although this is uncommon. Either way, Cancun and Playa del Carmen airports provide seamless gateways to one of the most lavish travel destinations in Mexico. 

If you’re visiting Playa del Carmen and need to store your luggage for a few hours, Bounce has convenient locations that can look after your bags while you swim in the pristine Caribbean waters or trek through the jungle to uncover the ruins of Mayan temples and pyramids. 

How to pay for luggage storage at Playa del Carmen Airport

• Before you fly down to Mexico, you can use the map-based search function on the Bounce website and mobile app to find the most convenient location for your resort or destination. 
• Booking only takes a few minutes and you'll receive a confirmation before you travel.   
• You securely pay online through the website or mobile app, so dropping off and picking up your luggage will be entirely cashless and convenient. 

How to get from Playa del Carmen Airport to the city

Plenty of travelers will touch down at Playa Del Carmen Airport only to be shifted away by shuttle buses or private transfers arranged by their resorts. Public transportation is rarely used by out-of-towners looking to reach their accommodations. The same situation goes for visitors flying into Cancun International Airport.  

Taxi and rideshare from PCM

It's important to know that rideshare services like Uber and Lyft are not permitted to pick up passengers at the airport. There are some security and quality concerns for local taxis, which makes a private transfer or hotel shuttle all the more desirable. 

Points of interest
