About Zama Travel
The technology bridge between travellers landing in Cancún and the region's most trusted private transport companies.
Who we are
Zama Travel is a Cancún-based technology platform. We operate the booking, payment, dispatch and communication layer that connects travellers with a network of validated, licensed private transport companies across Quintana Roo — from Cancún International Airport (CUN) to the Hotel Zone, Playa del Carmen, Tulum, Puerto Morelos, Akumal and beyond.
We are not a transport operator ourselves. The physical service is delivered by Mexican transport companies that hold the permits required by the Secretaría de Infraestructura, Comunicaciones y Transportes (SICT) and/or the Instituto de Movilidad del Estado de Quintana Roo (IMOVEQROO). Our role is to match your booking with a carrier that has the right vehicle, driver and coverage for your route, handle the payment securely, and keep you informed end-to-end.
Zama operates as a booking intermediary for pre-booked, fixed-route private transfers — not a ride-hailing app, not a taxi service, and not a "digital-platform private transport" service under Art. 148 Quáter of the Ley de Movilidad del Estado de Quintana Roo.
How Zama works
- You book. Choose route, date, vehicle class and passengers. Price is quoted in USD with MXN equivalence. Payment is processed via Mercado Pago (cards, SPEI, OXXO).
- We dispatch. The booking is dispatched to a pre-validated carrier that holds federal or state transport permits, commercial liability insurance, and trained bilingual drivers.
- They drive. The carrier monitors your flight, meets you at arrivals with a sign bearing your name, and takes you to your destination. You receive driver details 2 hours before pickup.
- We support. Our bilingual support team is available 24/7 via WhatsApp and email to handle flight changes, cancellations, refunds and any incident during your trip.
How we validate carriers
Before a transport company joins the Zama network, we verify:
- Federal permit (SICT): Autotransporte Federal de Pasajeros or Transporte Turístico Federal, for any route touching Cancún International Airport or federal highways.
- State concession (IMOVEQROO): tourist-transport concession under the Ley de Movilidad del Estado de Quintana Roo and its Reglamento de Transporte Turístico, for intra-state routes.
- Commercial passenger-liability insurance: in force, covering passengers and third-party damage (policy number on file with Zama).
- Annual vehicle inspection (revista vehicular): current, where applicable to the permit category.
- Vehicle condition: model year ≤ 6, mechanical inspection and clean interior.
- Driver licensing: federal licence type E (passenger) or C (tourist), or the state equivalent for tourist transport.
- Bilingual capability: Spanish / English driver program on airport runs.
- Service-level agreement with Zama: punctuality, flight monitoring, communication, incident reporting.
Carriers are reviewed quarterly against booking feedback, on-time performance and incident reports.
