Taxi fare from port to Nachi Cocom, Cozumel

[JTBCruiser]

I did a search but couldn't find any recent info on how much it cost going from port to Nachi Cocom taxi one way.  Thx in advance.

We were there in January.   If I remember correctly it was $9 each one way.  It used to be $8.

three of us in the cab was $18 each way last month

So it was only $6 per person?  That sounds really low as I remember paying over $20 a year and a half ago.

Be careful of the taxi drivers.  The price per car load to go to Nachi is clearly printed on the clapboard outside the port/terminal (where you hail the taxi).  This last one upped the price over the listed price, which we did not catch until too late once I thought about it when we got back and I glanced at the sign again.  

 

From now on I will repeat/clarify with the driver as I get into the taxi as to the listed price.

If you google taxi fares in Cozumel, you should find the posted fares.  I believe Nachi is $18.00

Yup, that's the one.  Our driver charged the two of us 20 bucks, one way.  And I ignorantly gave him a tip on top of that.  😕

It depends on how many people you have.  Our party of 7 was about $35 each way the last couple of times.

 

Thanks @poocher

Looks like $17 total one way for up to 4 passengers, $23 for 5 passengers, and $34 for 6-8

it's not per person, $18 one way period, 3 of us FIT in the cab

We give a $20 bill each way for two passengers.

As stated prices are clearly listed on a board at EACH pier - there is a slight variation. Take a photo.
 

There are no per person prices - it is per vehicle, depending on size of vehicle BUT if there are two of you and the next vehicle at dispatch is a mini van you should pay the rate for up to 4 people, that is why you should ALWAYS check the price with driver before leaving and to really cover the bases, take a photo of taxi # in case you forget  something or have a dispute.
 

If there are 2 of you and you stop a taxi on the street they can charge the going rate for the vehicle size, you can decline and wait for a sedan, or negotiate!

 

The biggest usual scam for taxis from the port is to charge the 4 person rate per couple in a shared vehicle. You should arrange to share the price with your new friends while in line! 

Alternatively walk onto the street, avoid the line at dispatch and take your own vehicle. Prices are cheaper away from the port.

Are the fares to return to the pier the same?

Usually, maybe a $1-2 difference. There is usually a price board at tourist destinations otherwise assume yes and check before you enter taxi.

This was us in December and will be again this coming December.

I think it was $18, so the two of us just planned on a $20 each way.

Are the fares the same for the International Pier?

About the same. Prices listed on board at the port.

I've only docked at Puerta Maya, but always assumed the price would be the same since they are literally right next door to each other.

If they charge a penny more in the fares, that would be criminal for a 100 yards difference.
