Dive&Ski
Guest
After reading about all the diving to be done in Playa and Coz, my wife and I decided we're going to try it all. We going down there at the end of Jan, staying 7 nights in Playa at a resort a few miles out of town. We'll dive the cenotes, the Playa reefs, and do some land-based sightseeing. Then we're going to Coz for 3 additional days of just diving.
The advice I'm seeking revolves around the rental car. We have a pretty ambitious itinerary, so we definitely need some wheels. We're flying into Cancun and will need transportation to Playa. I don't think we'll need the rental car in Coz. Is there a good car rental company in Playa or should we just rent at the airport in Cancun? If we rent at the airport, we'll either need to drop the car in Playa before we get on the ferry, or return it in Cancun the night before and then get a ride back to Playa? Since car rentals are relatively cheap, the other idea I had was to just rent it for the entire 11 days and park it somewhere safe in Playa while we're on Coz. This sounds reasonable, but would it work? Does a safe place like this exist? Also, how much extra should I expect to pay for insurance? The national chains won't quote it online so I really have no idea how much it costs. Thanks.
