Jeep in Cozumel

[jennya3]

Has anyone every rented a jeep in Cozumel? Tell me about it!

[mocha's mom]

We have! We've been to Cozumel twice - once we rented a Jeep the other time it was a topless VW. We rented both at the pier - didn't reserve ahead of time.

 

The time we rented the VW, I had set up something in advance and was supposed to call when we arrived at the port and the rental agency would drop off the car at the pier. Well, when we arrived, the phone service was not working.... Since I hadn't given them my CC#, we just rented at the pier.

 

The eastern side of the island is beautiful! There are quite a few great beaches. Make sure you stop for a beer at Rasta's and for lunch at Coconuts!

 

Enjoy.

mocha's mom, that's good to know. About how much did you pay to rent a jeep there? Or the VW for that matter. Thanks.

[mocha's mom]

If memory serves me correctly, the Jeep was around $75 (give or take a little) that was in January 2003. The topless VW bug was about $45 in January 2004. The VW was from Alamo - there's a office right outside of the pier.

I always rent a jeep when on Cozumel and see the beautiful shoreline. Stop at some beach clubs such as http://www.mrsanchos.com and coconuts. I use Excecutive rental and a jeep is $50 for the day. There will be many rental agents at the pier.

You all are certainly brave! :D

Liv. Not sure why you think we're brave. The road around the island (there's only one) are very good and traffic is light. It is conjested in San Miguel but no worse than many cities in the US. BTW the worst driving style and manners I've observed have been those getting off the ships.

We just did this in May, and had a wonderful day!!! My friend Cheryl booked it through AVIS online, they told her they were right at the pier. We walked off the pier, to find that it was a short taxi ride to Avis but Executive was right there. We ditched that plan as she hadnt given Avis her CC, and told Executive that we would rent from them if they gave us the same rate ($50 plus fill the tank), they agreed. They did require a major credit card to reserve it, so bring one with you.

 

We stopped at several watering holes along the shore, and also a couple of beach areas. Just be advised, the surf was ROUGH and there were flags up warning against rip tides. Don't get bombed and decide that swimming in one of those areas is a fabulous idea! ;)

 

Definately stop by Coconuts, it has a gorgeous view. :) And remember to wear sunscreen in the jeep, that sun will get ya and you won't even feel it!

We (20 of us) rented 5 jeeps and drove around Cozumel in February and the price was still the same... it was fantastic... you get to see what you want to see, rather than just what some tourguide shows you... and best of all, you can stop at every bar along the way if you want to!

Just curious. When you stopped at the bars. did you have to have pesos or did they take dollars?

[elvisillusions]

We had brought pesos with us from DH's trip to Cancun, but I had a blonde moment and left them on the ship! Every place we went took dollars, and how! The different bars and beaches are absolutely beautiful, even in the rain...
