OT - Cancun
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. |

Any recommendations as to which to see? If you are going from a cruise, I would do a cruise ship excursion so you will be sure the ship won't leave without you. If you are staying in Cancun I would rent a car so you can come and go as you please. sue |

Didn't know if renting a car in Mexico would be a smart thing to do...or not to do. Thanks for your suggestion. |

Driving isn't so bad but you don't wnat to have trouble in Mexico. I would rent for the day and go to the ruins (it is what I did) and not have a car most ofthe time. Beware free car rental in Cancun it is all about (as are all freebies in Cancun) time share. -- Joseph Coulter, cruises and vacations www.josephcoulter.com 877 832 2021 904 631 8863 cell |

Thanks for your suggestion. Definitely need one to get around to ruins ... but be sure to take every insurance they offer ... In the US I decline each and every time ... In Mexico it is very wise to take it ... there are some horror stories about some who didn't ... |

As others have said, be sure you accept the insurance and you should be fine. sue |

Any recommendations as to which to see? Thank you for any help. I would rent a car...at least for the day(s) you'll want to venture off on your own. You may not need one for your entire trip. We did this once, when we were on a cruise. The port was Cozumel. We ferried to Playa, rented a car there and drove ourselves to Tulum. The car was a late model VW in excellent shape. And, once outside the city, it's a straight shot, north/south road. On the way, we passed Xel Ha, which is another place to visit. From Cancun, you could head south towards Tulum, or over to Chichen Itza. If you're staying at a resort, it will likely have a tour desk. You can probably wait until you're there to make your decision. But, if you're up for venturing off on your own, rather than touring with a large group, then rent yourself a car. I believe we used National Rental Car. I'd probably try to stick with a recognizable brand name company... Lee |
