Can I rent a car from Cancun Intl. Airport (CUN)?
With Thrifty Car Rental and Mex just a short commute from Cancun Intl. Airport (CUN), getting off the plane and onto the road is a breeze.
What happens if I need to cancel my Cancun car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of picking up the car, most prepaid homes qualify for a complete refund. However, not every one is eligible for this, so it’s important to understand your home policy. Read through your booking for the specifics or head to our Customer Service Portal to find out more.
What types of cars can I rent in Cancun?
Economy, compact, standard, full-size … You name it, we’re likely to have it! But intermediate is the most popular home class in Cancun. These cars are comfortable and roomy compared to compact and economy rides. While an intermediate is smaller than a full-size, you’ll still have enough storage space and legroom. Whether you’re sticking around Cancun or venturing farther afield, you’ll be doing it in style.
Where can I go on a road trip from Cancun?

  • Playa del Carmen is approximately 64 kilometres from Cancun. Renowned tourist attractions like Xcaret Eco Theme Park deserve to be high on your must-see list while you’re in town.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Cancun?
Rental car rules in Cancun require drivers to be 25 and over. Are you a young driver? A few surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many home suppliers impose what is known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions generally apply to the types of cars available to young people too. Age limits may vary between companies, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Cancun?
Two things — a valid driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of alternative coverage if you choose to opt out. We recommend checking with your home provider to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Cancun?
Road-tripping around Cancun may feel like second nature to drivers from the States. This destination, and the rest of Mexico, sticks to the right.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Cancun?
Whether you’re planning to stick around Cancun or journey beyond, it’s easy to book a long-term home with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you the best long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Cancun car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between holiday home companies, so you’ll have to do a bit of homework. Managed to find a Cancun outlet that does rent to under 25s? That’s great! Just bear in mind that some companies charge extra fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each holiday home car you’re considering will have all the details you need.
