Is it necessary to rent a car in Cozumel?


Travel Info
Planning a trip to Cozumel...is there enough public transportation there or would you suggest renting a car?

Travel Tips
Either taxis or rental cars can be used in Cozumel. Moped rental is not recommended due to safety issues.

Taxi fares are regulated by the union and should be standard fare price at all times. Occasionally, taxi drivers will attempt to negotiate with visitors or to over-charge visitors. Should this occur, the taxi driver鈥檚 information, hanging in the car, should be taken down and provided to the union. Standard taxi rates which visitors should know include:

Travel from town to hotels north of Cozumel: $5
Travel from town to hotels south of Cozumel: $10
Travel from town to Chankanaab: $9
Travel in and around town: $3
Island Tour: $60.
Note that these rates are for one or two people with additional charges allowed for more passengers.

Car rental prices should be the same on the island of Cozumel as they are on the nearby mainland. However, visitors with internet access should double-check rates. If it is considerably less expensive to rent a car on the mainland, cars can be rented there and ferried to Cozumel for around $35-65 USD one way. The 3 main rental car companies which are used are Hertz, Avis and Executive, all of which are located at the airport. Be sure to have a copy of your confirmation agreement with you when you claim your car; otherwise the agents at the airport might say they have no cars for you. Other rental car companies are located within the city, primarily in downtown Cozumel, and it is safe and fairly priced to use these ran rental companies. Car rental can also often be arranged through hotels.

Other Travel Tips
My wife and I each rented a moped during our honeymoon at cozumel and had a blast. A lot cheaper than taxis or a rental car and much more fun.
Never had any issues with safety, as everyone drives slow and easy-going
Only taxis and scooters no other public transportation. The taxi are not that expensive. I would rent a jeep maybe for a day or two to do some sight seeing on the other side of the island. (east side) Depending where you hotel is located, you can also do some walking. But most hotels are located a distance away.

Have a great trip
