Hello everyone. We are flying into Cozumel on 3/3 and then flying out of Cancun on 3/22. We will be on Cozumel for five night with a couple of days of diving and then will be taking the ferry to Playa Del Carmen. We plan to rent a car (from somewhere) and the heading to Akumal and then up through Valladolid and finishing off our vacation with a few nights on Holbox.

My question is, can we rent a decently priced small SUV in Playa and then coordinate a smooth drop off after Holbox. We will need to coordinate a COVID test as well. Any suggestions on the best way to rent a car and then be able to drop off and coordinate a COVID test? Can we rent in Playa and drop off in Cancun? What rental company is recommended? Any other suggestions? We may do Puerto Morelos instead of Holbox.

Thanks,

Jim
 
America Car Rental. No problems with pickup/dropoff at either location (Cancun/Playa). Reserve online in pesos for the best price.

They are doing COVID tests at the Cancun airport.
 
A little off topic, but if you are heading down to Akumel, take a morning (or afternoon) and visit the ruins at Tulum. Its not diving, but there is a LOT of history there as well as some VERY impressive engineering given the time the town was built.
 
Renting a vehicle should be easy. Its the insurance that gets very pricey. I think showing up to a rental agency and asking for a vehicle and full insurance and negotiating with them might get you their best price. Especially if they know you are willing to walk away and go somewhere else.
