Car Hire Cancun Helpful Information

Cancun is Mexico’s Caribbean playground Acapulco's younger and prettier sister and apart from the beautiful beaches and crystal clear sea it has a lot of history to tempt the traveller to arrange to hire a car in Cancun so that they can explore.  We often have special offers in this area including unlimited mileage and free additional driver - so check out what is on offer with our easy to use search and compare car rental quote system. 

Here's what you can expect when driving in Cancun:

Road Quality: Major roads in Cancun, especially in tourist areas, are generally well-maintained and in good condition. However, you may encounter potholes and uneven road surfaces on some secondary roads.

Traffic Congestion: Cancun can experience heavy traffic congestion, particularly in the Hotel Zone and during peak tourist seasons. Expect slow-moving traffic and potential delays, especially during rush hours.

Driving Behavior:

Aggressive Driving: Driving in Cancun can sometimes be characterized by aggressive or unpredictable behavior, including frequent lane changes, speeding, and ignoring traffic rules.

Use of Signals: Drivers may not always use turn signals consistently, so it's essential to remain cautious and attentive to the movements of other vehicles.

Road Signs:

Road signs in Cancun are in Spanish, but you'll often find important signs with English translations, especially in tourist areas.

Driving at Night:

Driving at night in Cancun is generally safe in well-lit areas, but it's advisable to exercise caution on poorly lit or rural roads.

Clean Air Zones:

Cancun may have specific environmental regulations, such as emission control measures. Be aware of any local clean air zones and comply with their requirements.

Safety Considerations:

Keep your windows up and doors locked while driving, especially in slower-moving traffic. Be cautious when navigating roundabouts, as not all drivers yield properly.
