Tips for renting a car in Cancún
Browse helpful tips for renting a car in Cancún including age restrictions, car type suggestions and more. Tips were last updated on 17 December 2024.
- Roads in Cancun can vary in quality. While major highways are generally well-maintained, some local roads may have potholes or uneven surfaces. Be cautious, especially during the rainy season, and try to limit your speed when driving over uneven surfaces. In addition, it's common to encounter speed bumps, known as "topes" in Mexico, especially in residential areas and near schools. These speed bumps can be quite pronounced, so be attentive and reduce your speed when approaching them.
- When driving in Cancun, you will want to make sure that you always have a bit of cash on you. Mexico has an extensive network of toll roads (cuotas) that are generally well-maintained and provide faster travel between cities. Keep some local currency (Mexican pesos) on hand, as toll booths often do not accept credit cards. Gas stations in Cancun and throughout Mexico may not always accept credit cards, so you will also likely need cash for this.
- As you drive in Cancun, you will likely come across some infrastructure that you are not used to. For example, Road signs in Mexico are usually in Spanish, although you may see some signs for major roads or sights that are translated into English as well. It's helpful to have a basic understanding of common Spanish traffic signs in order to make sure that you are driving as safely as possible. Some international symbols are also used, which makes things easier.
