Good to know
Age requirements vary by provider (and even car type), so know the rules before you book. Some providers in Mexico may rent to younger drivers for an extra fee. If you fall outside the typical age range, simply uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.
Add a car seat to your Puerto Morelos car hire reservation if you're travelling with small kids. Guidelines vary from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest choice.
You'll need some documents when you get to the rental desk. As a rule, bring a valid driver's licence, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and another form of photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.
Take a few moments to get used to your rental. Fix your seat and mirrors, find the lights and wipers, and get a feel for its handling before you drive away. And remember to stick to the right side of the road in Mexico.
Stay within the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in built-up areas and 100kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.
The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Mexico is 0.04%. Because alcohol affects each person differently, the best way to be sure you're safe to drive is not to drink at all.
Aim to travel outside heavy traffic periods for a smoother run. 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination.
The Mexican peso (MXN) is the currency you'll be using for everyday expenses and activities. Pay with your card when you can, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't an option.
Spanish is the language spoken in most parts of the country.
