KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Akumal

  • Akumal, Mexico, is a town known for exotic coral reefs found just offshore. You can easily drive to the Akumal Dive Center and the beaches near Akumal with an Akumal car rental. There’s no better way of exploring this coastal resort than with a ride from car rentals in Akumal. A trip to Akumal is an opportunity to let loose, explore, unwind, and make memories. Car rentals are available for just that, offering you much-needed privacy as well. Additionally, having a rental car means you can carry more luggage around conveniently than if you’re relying on public transit options.
  • Most travelers flying to Akumal usually land at Cancun International Airport (CUN). Car rentals in Akumal ensure an easy transition from the plane seat to the driver's seat upon your arrival. Advantage, Europcar, Avis, Fair Way Rent A Car, ACO, America Car Rental, Deal Mobility Rent A Car, and E-Z Rent-A-Car have rental counters in the Arrivals zones of the four terminals. You can follow the “Rental Car” signs to the baggage-claim area, where the rental counters are located. The airport is a popular car-rental location, so we recommend booking in advance to secure your preferred vehicle after your plane lands.
  • Driving car rentals in Akumal is generally very easy. Like most of the towns in the Riviera Maya, Akumal is located off Highway 307. Thus, driving from Akumal to other towns is usually easy. However, here are a few tips before you get behind the wheel of any rental vehicle in Akumal. When driving on Highway 307, you may encounter police or military checkpoints. Have photocopies of your ID(s) that you can show the police when they ask for proof of ID. Not every driver in Akumal uses their turn signals, so maintain a safe distance to avoid accidents.
  • Although driving around Akumal can be a fun experience, it might turn into a daunting task during rush hour. Akumal, like most cities, has two rush-hour periods. The morning rush hour is from about 7 am to 9 am, while the afternoon rush hour is usually from about 5 pm to 7 pm. Avoid driving on Mexican Federal Highway 307 during rush hour, as it usually gets a lot of traffic.

4.8 Mediocre

Nov 2019

KAYAK

Pros:

The drop off was good. When we came to pick up the car the agent lied to us and said we were at the wrong location, even though I had the Expedia reservation number, then tried to get us to pay over double the rate guaranteed by Expedia.

Cons:

Be honest to your customers.

5.6 Fair

Apr 2018

KAYAK

Pros:

The car was great for what we wanted.

Cons:

The Avis representative in Tulum, MX was very difficult to work with at pick up and drop off. Avis offered insurance coverage at three times the total rental rate. My credit card company provides rental car insurance coverage so I opted to decline the Avis coverage. Upon drop off he attempted to find any way to charge us for any prior damage on the vehicle “since you did not pay for insurance.” We took great care of the car and added no additional damage (already had visible scratches and door dings in some places). It was over the top ridiculous!! I am still awaiting my final bill.
