You’ll likely want to select an economy or compact vehicle for your rental if you want to stay within the city, or if you want to find beach parking spots—especially since these spots can be tight. An SUV will be most suitable for travelers and families hoping to explore the less traditional tourist spots, such as the Sian Kaan Biosphere, as some of the roadways leading to the site have uneven terrain.
Speeds on major roads range between about 100km/h (60mph) and 60km/h (35mph), with posted limits being around 60km/h (35mph) in residential areas. It is recommended that you don’t exceed the posted limits, as you risk being stopped by police for a violation. Keep an eye out for speed limit changes as you come into towns or pass-through major junctions. You’ll want to also be aware of police checkpoints. Lastly, expect the speed limits to be about 10km/h (6mph) around schools and hospitals.
You can expect to pay about Mex$100 to Mex$200 ($5 to $10) for beach parking in Tulum if you want to find a spot along the beach road to and from Sian Ka'an. Parking around many of the area’s cenotes is free.

Pros:
I was scammed, we had made the reservation for 76$ and he told me the car was not available, gave me an even worse car, and then charged me 200$. HE saw that I had to deliver it in Cancun and once I told him I was heading to the airport he scammed me.Cons:
If they stick to their prices.3.2 Poor

You book a car at 9am but they provide it at 4pm. Of course you have no info during that time and are just waiting. No one cares in Hertz, not their fault, no discount I do not recommend them at all2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nothing. The rental company had no vehicles available at the time of pick up. My wife and I contacted customer service via chat and was informed to stay at the location until resolved. We waited 2+ hours while on vacation with no vehicle or refund. Customer service was terrible and will never utilize this website for any future plans.2.0 Poor

We showed up at the office to pick up our car and the agent said that even though we had a reservation, there were no cars because they decided to send all of the cars to Cancun. We pointed out we had a valid reservation but he said that doesn't obligate them to hold a car for us if they can rent it at a better price at some other location. He said he couldn't help us and offered no additional assistance.2.0 Poor

I arrived just after pick up time and was met by a rude staff member informing me that they have no cars today. After explaining that I had a reservation he just replied; "it doesn't matter there are no car today". So I had to walk around the other rental places and had to pay more.2 locations in Tulum

Jan. 2017
Pros:
check out was quick with van service to departing airlineCons:
-took almost 2 hours to rent the car - car had not been cleaned inside. We found wrappers and bottles -cost of mexican insurance was not disclosed til we were there - credit card hold was not disclosed til we were there - very poor English speaking skills - although we booked with payless, it ended up being a FOX car. We weren't sure this was even the same rental reservation we made til they found us in their computer system. - this was a typical hook and bait scam. The online price for the week was so cheap that we realized something else would be charged, but $457.00 for a week rental? GIVE ME A BREAK!!! I feel totally violated and scammed by this experience.2.0 Poor

Jan. 2021
Pros:
Economy Rent a Car is a complete scam. 1. The company where you are supposed to pick the car up isn't called Economy Rent A Car, it's called America Car Rental. 2. They address and name of the location sent in the confirmation email were both wrong. After walking for 45 minutes, I was finally able to reach someone on the phone who told me where I was supposed to go. 3. When I arrived at the America Car Rental company, I was told that they didn't have any cars to rent even though I had a confirmed reservation that was paid. 4. Without contacting anyone, I received an email stating that someone of what I paid had been refunded but not all. 5. I repeatedly questioned why I wasn't being refunded in full and was told via email that this wasn't their policy and that the balance wasn't refundable.Cons:
This company is a SCAM, AVOID. They will take your money and not give you a rental car.2.0 Poor
Jan. 2019
Pros:
Didnt have car, or anything like it that we reserved. Wouldnt accept the insurance that we purchased for car, nor the insurance we then purchased ont he spot via their agency. Then said we would have to pay 3/4 of the total price of the car for the week EACH DAY, plus leave them 8000$. We left.2.0 Poor

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.One location in Tulum
