Consider choosing an SUV for your rental car in Cozumel, as it’ll help provide you with stability when driving in the rain or throughout the city’s many mountainous areas. It also comes in handy for storing recreational equipment that is frequently used in the area, including bikes, kayaks, surfboards, snorkel gear, and any items you may use for a day at the beach.
In neighborhoods that are considered to be business or residential districts, the speed limit will normally be around 25 to 35mph. If you’re driving near a school, you can plan on the maximum limit being 20mph. In more remote parts of the city, the speed limit can get up to 45mph. On local highways, the limit is usually 75mph, but it can vary depending on where exactly you are on the road. Police officers will frequently patrol these highways, so try not to speed to avoid getting a ticket.
While you may be able to find some street parking, it is usually limited. If you’re hoping to snag a spot, make sure to head out early in the day. Otherwise, one of the best options is to park in one of the several paid parking lots that can be found throughout town. The parking lot on Avenida Sur 25 is a conveniently placed option, as well as the Don Tino Public Parking Lot that is located directly along the coast.

I bought the insurance online when I reserved the car but when I went to pick up the car the employee said the insurance I bought online was worthless. He said I need to buy insurance from him or I wouldn't have any, or very little liability coverage. I didn't appreciate having to buy insurance twice.8.0 Very good

Dec 2019
Cons:
We rented from this budget location because we were supposed to get a cheap wrangler. The location directions were extremely confusing – turned out it was actually in a hotel, which was not clearly marked in the directions. When we finally got there, they did not actually have our car, and we ended up renting a regular SUV. Having said that, we got a Kia Sorento, which was nicer than expected.6.0 Okay

Cons:
I rented a Jeep Wrangler and they gave me a Renault Captur, not happy with car selection, they had Jeeps but they claim those are a completely different category, misleading3 locations in Cozumel

Pros:
Pond drop off a staff member took me in a single car to my gate which was unexpectedly pleasant.Cons:
Biggest problem was the 1:20 wait to get my car. Even after I had completed all of the booking and payment details online. Severely understaffed, if I could have gone to another company I would have. I felt trapped without any possibility for escape. After 4+ hours of travel it was a very unpleasant welcome into Mexico.2.0 Poor
