Rent a car

Hello, adventurers on wheels! Ready to explore Cancun and the Riviera Maya at your own pace? Renting a car is an excellent way to discover hidden gems. Here are some tips to make your trip safe and enjoy every kilometer to the fullest.

Off to adventure! Must-see destinations:

With your car, you can easily reach magical places like the Tulum archaeological zone (about 2 hours from Cancun), the vibrant atmosphere of Playa del Carmen (1 hour), the crystal-clear cenotes of the Ruta de los Cenotes (near Puerto Morelos), or even the natural beauty of the Sian Ka’an Biosphere Reserve (south of Tulum). The freedom to explore is incredible!

Driving and safety tips:

Drive carefully and respect speed limits, especially in urban areas and near hotels. Pay attention to signs and remember that in Mexico you drive on the right. Avoid driving at night on poorly lit roads and always secure your doors and windows, especially in crowded areas.

Estimated travel times:

• Cancun to Playa del Carmen: 1 hour
• Cancun to Tulum: 2 hours
• Playa del Carmen to Tulum: 1 hour

Tolls and parking:

Some highways, like the one to Chichen Itza, have tolls. Make sure to carry cash to pay them. In tourist areas, parking may have a cost, so be prepared. Many hotels offer free parking for their guests.
