Should I rent a car in Cancun?
My college roommates and I are planning a trip to Cancun for Spring Break. We will be spending most of our time on the beach, but I’d like to explore a little too. Should we bother renting a car for our stay, or is it easy enough to get around using public transportation?

Cancun is a hotbed for Spring Breakers every year, and home to some spectacular nightlife! Because there are so many tourists in Cancun at any given time, Uber and other ride-share companies will always be available in a pinch. However, renting a car in Cancun gives you the freedom to explore at your own pace.
Here are a few things to consider when renting a car in Cancun:
- Some rental companies will rent out vehicles to drivers aged 21 to 24, but they will charge an additional $10 to $20 per day.
- Reserving your rental in advance can help you to avoid any price hikes during the tourist season.
- Mexican car insurance is mandatory when renting a car here. You’ll have to purchase at least Mexican Personal Liability Insurance coverage through the rental company.
In addition to the Personal Liability insurance, you’ll have to purchase ahead of renting a car in Cancun, it’s also wise to invest in
rental car insurance
. You can do this either through your own car insurance
policy or with your credit card company. View full answer
