Playa del Carmen is one of the most beloved tourist destinations in Mexico for one main reason: the wonderful sunshine and scenic beaches. Make the most out of your stay there and rent a convertible to get the most out of the summer feeling. It may be advisable to not opt for the most expensive car to decrease the risk of being targeted by thieves.
Speed limits are given in km/h in Mexico and are clearly marked throughout. They must be adhered to at all times. Unless otherwise indicated, speed limits dictate 60 km/h (37 mph) on streets which do not indicate a clear limit, up to 90 km/h (56 mph) on rural roads with two lanes, and up to 110 km/h (68 mph) on highways.
Finding a parking spot in central Playa del Carmen can be tricky, but street parking is possible, especially on the northern side of the city. Remember to never park on the street where there is yellow curb, as the car would most likely be towed! There are also public parking lots, such as the Parking Lot in Calle 8 Nte 2 or in 15 Avenida Nte LB, which are always a good choice.
The average price of fuel in Playa del Carmen is €4.49 per litre over the past 30 days. Filling up a tank of fuel costs between €54 and €72, depending on the car size.
Standard (Nissan X-Trail or similar) is the most frequently booked car hire type in Playa del Carmen.
Car hire companies onsite at Cancun airport include MEXRENTACAR, Hertz, Europcar, GREEN MOTION and FlexWays.

Cons:
The reservation was clearly indicating a drop off in a different city and the price did changes already when booked this way. We were charged double when we pick up because the drop off in diff city wasn’t actually charged according to Avis, this impacted our budget for the vacation, obviously we could not cancel the reservation cause all out itinerary was planed.. Then, the agency and location indicated in the avis summary was a location that is closed for one year now, we lost time and money going there and we had to go to another agency at the other side of the city that was actually next to where we came from. I will never book again through Kayak again and double check any information supplied by Avis2 locations in Playa del Carmen

Pros:
Nothing to like. The office wasn't at the address listed. I asked for help finding it and was told by a local man that they moved to a different location about a block away. He led me there and the office was closed even though I was scheduled to pick up my car. I called the number, left a message, and no one ever called me back, ever. After two hours of waiting I went to the next closest car rental place. The man at the counter said MexRentaCar is notorious for taking more reservations than they have cars, closing the office when they run out, and not notifying people they're out of cars.Cons:
Have a car for me since I had a confirmed reservation, answer your office phone, stay open during your posted hours, notify me of any issues, work your tail off to ensure you have cars for every reservation.6.0 Okay

Lawdan, Nov 2019
Pros:
Nothing, we arrived and the unhelpful man working at the counter told us that there were no cars available and didn’t know when there would be again. I asked him how I was able to make a reservation if there were no cars available for rent and he simply shrugged his shoulders and told us to go across the street to Hertz. He was clearly not interested in assisting us and didn’t seem to care at all that we booked online in advance. Kayak should not route their customers to this company for booking.Cons:

Gino, Dec 2019
Cons:
First the address listed on the Internet was incorrect as they closed that location and have not updated their information. Second they are affiliated with thrifty and firefly so it is all the same company at the location. Third the Internet reservation charge was to be $22 per day. When I got there they were trying to charge $32 per day saying It was the exchange rate which is bullshit because the exchange rate is automatic on your credit card which is about $19 pesos per one US dollar. Four they wanted to charge liability insurance which I did not need as Visa and American Express credit cards cover all collision of rental vehicles. Also if you have a basic car insurance policy in United States it will cover liability. If you take the collision insurance which is about $15-$20 per day then your credit card automatically cancels their insurance. So altogether the rental would’ve been $52 per day. The Representative is very obnoxious and professional. I felt like they were trying to rough arm me to purchase the extra insurance. He said the only way they would not as if they charge my credit card $200,000 pesos about $10,000 USD as a credit card hold until the car returned safely. Dollar thrifty and firefly is a complete scam of business. I’ve dealt with other companies here that are professional and much better and do not haggle.2 locations in Playa del Carmen

Some Playa del Carmen car providers already include Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) and Theft Protection Waiver into the hire price but not all of them. We recommend always be aware of your coverage when hiring a car in Playa del Carmen.
Keep in mind that car hire insurances often have a deductible clause, which is the amount you’ll have to pay if something happens during the time of your hire. If you want to avoid unwanted surprises, you should consider adding a no-deductible option to your Playa del Carmen car hire.
