Hola LGs.
In the past, if I have not rented a car, I have loyally engaged USA transfer.
http://www.usa-transfers.com/
I have heard of a few kudos elsewhere about Canadian Transfers. Does anyone here know, or have experience of Canadian Tranfers?

Used them Hotel Akumal Caribe March 4 and back to airport March 15, two passengers.
On time and on price, I paid $60 down cash and held the $47 balance cash until return.
I phoned them to remind about return but probably wasn't necessary. Smart to do though.
No complaints, drivers didn't speak much English, free stop at 7-11 for beer.
Probably could pay for grocery or liquor store stop?
USA transfers have always been good in the past, but $20USD paid the driver's tips.

@palapaboy, I paid cash and was prepared to pay all upfront, like USA right?,
But they didn't seem to be able to provide a receipt,
instead offering pay half now and half at pickup.
I had my cash ready so just buried 47USD deep to keep for return.
I tipped with pesos, just 100 each way if I remember right.
Was that enough? Driver seemed ok with it.
Bought a couple bottles of wine at 7-11 along with beer, and a coke for driver.
Concho y Toro reservado merlot and a Cabernet, not too bad,
But probably available at Chomak for about the same price.

here is a previous thread on them
http://forums.locogringo.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1523986&mpage=1&key=canada%2Ctransfer�
I talked to the owners running the firm - I believe they used to work for USA Transfers - all new vehicles - cool faceclothes in the van, free water, supposedly pay in Canadian cash, sunscreen and bug spray to order

We only need transport from the villa in Akumal to the airport. We have booked canada transfers, but found out later that usa transfer won't even do one way to the airport, only one way from.

Me too Kermit, was planning on taking USA one-way from Akumal to the airport. Hopefully they are dropping someone off nearby and can fit me in.

Most times taxis are just as cheap going back to the airport
Private transfer is good if more than 3 of you though or lots of luggage - large vans

Not true. I just booked USA Transfers two days ago and have received my confirmation voucher for one way transfer, Akumal to the airport. The only difference is for a oneway transfer to the airport you must prepay on line using their PayPal account.

This is the email I received when I requested one way to the airport. I was never told to book it online and pay with paypal, which I didn't want to do anyhow as I want to pay in Canadian funds.

Yeah I see that. But what it looks like to me, and I think you may have been thinking the same thing by your last sentence is that they got it mixed up as to which one way transfer you were requesting. The one way from the airport to resorts you can pay in cash when you arrive. But all other transfers that do not start out at the airport must be prepaid at the time of booking. Wifey and Bub found this out when they booked a transfer from the Isla Majures ferry dock to Akumal a year or so ago. After I checked I found out that this the rule.
