Car hire FAQs

Find answers to frequently asked questions about car hires in Cancún, including policies, requirements, and more. FAQs were last updated on 29 October 2024.
  • What are the requirements to hire a car in Cancun?

    Car hire in Cancun is a relatively simple process if you have a few mandatory documents ready for your transaction. When you reach your car hire location in Cancun, ensure you have a valid driver’s licence; it doesn’t need to be an international driver’s licence in Cancun if you are British. The minimum age for car hire in Cancun is 21 while the maximum is 75. Make sure you take your passport for the transaction as well as a valid credit card with sufficient funds. Cheap car hire in Cancun will require insurance. You can arrange this with your car hire company.

  • What are the rules for driving in Cancun?

    Hired cars in Cancun will give you a world of freedom to explore the cities, beaches, nature and archaeological ruins at your doorstep. You will be seeing the speed limit in kilometres, so make sure you understand the conversion to avoid fines. On the motorways, the speed limit is usually 100 km/h (62 mph), and in urban areas, it is around 60 km/h (37 mph). Luckily in Cancun, signs are well marked and often in English, too. Cancun car hire rules will prohibit you from drinking and driving. It is illegal to drive with a blood alcohol reading higher than 0.04%, and you can actually have your insurance validity removed if you are involved in an accident while under the influence. Wear your seatbelt if you are driving or a passenger, and ensure all children under 12 remain in the back seat at all times. Ensure with your cheap car hire in Cancun you never speak on your phone while driving, or you could get an instant fine. It is always best to consult the local motor vehicle authorities to see if any road rules have changed.

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Cancun?

    Cancun is a great city to explore with car hire. With such diverse terrain, your urban and rural trips will allow you to dictate what Cancun car hire you choose. For the most part, the roads in the cities and towns are quite well maintained. Apart from the potholes that occur during the rainy season, you should be fine with an economy passenger car that will save you fuel. 4x4 hire in Cancun is a great idea if you are planning to explore off the beaten track and venture into the nature adventure parks or the ruins areas. If you are planning a more leisurely, beach-focused trip, a convertible to cruise the coastal roads along the turquoise seaside would be a fantastic bonus for your Cancun holiday.

  • Where are some of the best places to park in Cancun?

    While Cancun is a scenic city, it is not without its share of crime. Car break-ins are one of the most prevalent criminal activities, and it is recommended that you avoid parking on the streets. Where you can, park in a car park or at your hotel. There are many free car parks in Cancun, such as Playa Tortugas Cancun, but in downtown, you will have plenty of options that charge reasonable prices for short stays or full days.
