Car Rental/van for rent

[Susan Thompson]

Can you rent something for 6 people, like a van?

I am wondering the same thing...there are 6 people in my group too! I was also wondering how you know what company to use? Is there more than 1 pier in Cozumel the ships dock at, and what rental companies are closest to the pier?

avis rents econoline vans that will hold 15 people. we ended up with one when they ran out of caravans in feb.

Cozumelinsider.com offers a "deal" on Avis car rental. The link give the prices. It is highly recommended to get the added insurance.

Voyagers through AVIS hold up to 7 passengers (cheaper than Club Wagon if available)

When we were on the Elation recently we docked at Punta Langosta and rented a Ford Excursion that seated the 9 of us from Executive.Cozumelinsider.com has pier information.

However, when I was on the Elation the week of 9/26 the Carnival crew could not tell me the night of 9/25 which pier we were going to use the next morning.

how much do the vans cost to rent. we have a big group on the Elation thanksgiving week, it may be cheaper to do that than to rent a bunch of taxis. thanks.

 

we are thinking of going to Paradise Beach, is ther a map of the beach shpwing its amenities?

Below are some links that I found helpful in finding a vehicle to rent. I wanted to rent from an agency that had a location at the pier we would be docked at. But on the Elation that apparently is not set in stone ahead of time and can change at the last minute, depending on how crowded the piers are. I found the info on cancunmap the most helpful because it told me which rental agencies offered full coverage and had links to eack agency. The travelnotes link seems to be out of date. The cozumelinsider shipschedule comes out on Mondays, which does not help those on the Elation that departs on Sundays, unless you access the computer on the ship, and even then the pier designation is subject to change. Ours was scheduled for Puerta Maya so I made my reservation at the Executive office there, and we ended up at the Punta Langosta pier, which I did not discover until the morning we arrived. But Executive has an office there, too, and I just rented one there. It was $130 for the Ford Excursion that seats 9, including insurance.

Hope this helps. BTW, the mapchic's Cozumel map at cancunmap.com is the best and I highly recommend ordering it.
