Cancun Mexico Car Rentals
Driving Overview - About Driving in Cancun Mexico:
Buy Mexican auto insurance! Yeah I know your credit card may cover some of this in the states but not always in Mexico. If you do get in an accident it will be worth the few extra bucks you end up paying for the insurance. Driving is on the right hand side of the road just like in the USA. Be aware that many roads are not in the best of conditions after you leave Cancun. Though Highway 307 has been improved greatly over the years beware to the tope! Most secondary roads will not be in good condition. Driving at night should be avoided if possible: cars without lights, drunk drivers, cows in the road, drunks in the road, no reflective lines on the highway, potholes, etc. Always be aware of livestock. Gringos call them "speed bumps", in Mexico they are called tope (TOE-pay). Tope are common even on some major roads so keep your eyes on the road as they are nearly invisible but very tall, which can rip off your muffler. There are not a lot of gas stations in the Mayan Riviera. There are gas stations at Puerto Moreles, Playa del Carmen and Tulum (also one on the island of Cozumel). To be safe, don't let your tank get down below 1/4. Credit cards are NOT accepted at PEMEX, the state run gas company.
Driving in the Caribbean can be a rather unique experience and perhaps one not to miss. Many of the roads in the Caribbean, especially in islands with remote/mountainous areas, are not necessary well kept. Some with fantastic ocean side views, with twists and turns that excite you or make your stomach churn. It's especially fun for those of us who must get used to driving not only on the other side of the road, but the other side of the car - many of the 'controls' of the vehicle are reversed. Drive slowly and with caution on any remote or unkept roadway."Usually", travelers obtain a better rate by reserving a car prior to arriving at an island.
