Might be traveling to Cancun later this year, June or July. Is it
advisable
to rent a car or depend on local transportation? If I go, I would like to
visit Mayan ruins. Any recommendations as to which to see?

Thank you for any help.

One word of advice: be very careful about your speed. Cops are known
to target rental cars in Mexico for speeding on Highway 307, among
others, and if you're an out-of-nation visitor, they can sometimes
hassle you.

We spend two weeks a year in various locations and I got nabbed on 307
last year. I *might* have been going 20 kilometers an hour over, as
the speed limits change on that route very frequently, ranging from 60
in city areas to 100 farther out. But, even if I was, I was with the
flow of traffic. Bottom line is they can tell rental cars easily and
since the local cops (as opposed to federal cops) make very little
money, sometimes they shake motorists down. That said, I saw very few
cops on the same route last month when we were there, so YMMV.

As far as the actual question, by all means rent a car, it will just
make life a lot easier.

Dyou see the daily show with the guy from Georgia and his comparison of deer
to
jelliebeans and how the deer jumped through his truck window and the chick
who was a
lesbian and he fell off the stupid truck

too funny
