The transportation platform Uber informed its driver partners and users that, thanks to a favorable court ruling, they can now operate at the Cancun International Airport without the need for additional permits.
According to a statement issued by the company, a judge granted Uber a definitive suspension that frees its drivers from the need for concessions or authorizations to pick up passengers in the vicinity of the air terminal. This judicial decision means that no additional permit or concession can be required to operate at the airport.uber cancun airport
Since Thursday, August 15, users of the platform have begun to report that it is now possible to request the Uber service at the airport, highlighting that the rates offered are considerably lower compared to those of conventional taxis. Uber emphasized that its application is the only one that has this definitive suspension.
To protect its drivers from possible confrontations with authorities or taxi drivers, Uber has distributed a detailed guide on how to proceed if they are asked for proof or an attempt is made to impose a violation. The company stressed that drivers are not required to show any type of authorization, since the judicial suspension protects their right to operate at the airport.
In addition, Uber has enabled an emergency button that connects directly to 911, to offer rapid assistance to its drivers in case of risky situations. The company also recalled its commitment to non-violence and the promotion of accessible mobility through technology, reaffirming that “at Uber we reject any type of violence and promote accessible mobility for all.”
