Re: Car Rental Beware (by Denise R.):

I debated whether to rent a car in Cancun for our Playa del Carmen trip. Lots of people on the travel forums I frequent mentioned the steep, extra insurance.

Most of us are used to renting cars in the U.S. (or Canada) where we are from. Our car insurance covers us there, but not in a foreign country like Mexico. I was aware of the steep fees.

I decided against renting for a few reasons. First, both my husband and I would like to enjoy a few cocktails. After all, we would be on vacation.

Second, the steep cost of the extra insurance.

Third, we found out that the Riviera Maya section of Mexico has wonderful, inexpensive public transportation.

Be knowledgable and weigh your options and make the best choice for yourselves.
