How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cancun?
If you're 25 and above, you can rent a car in Cancun. Be aware that rental suppliers will charge young drivers an additional fee, which is meant to cover the higher damage or accident risk involved. Also, young drivers are usually restricted from renting larger or luxury models of cars. Thoroughly read the fine print before booking so there are no surprises when you pick up the keys.
What do you need to rent a car in Cancun?
Any rental company you choose will need these two things — your driver's licence and credit card. If you want to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of other coverage will also likely be needed. Read your policy thoroughly so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What side of the road do you drive on in Cancun?
Getting behind the wheel in Cancun will be second nature to drivers from the U.S. This destination, and the rest of Mexico, sticks to the right side of the road.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cancun?
Yes, and you can find your ideal wheels on our long-term car rental deals page. Just enter your trip dates and we'll list awesome offers from numerous reliable companies.
Where can I find a Cancun car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Cancun rental suppliers you're considering. If you're under the age of 25, some outlets will charge extra fees. It's good to know about this before collecting the vehicle so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so it pays to do your research.
