Should I rent a car in Playa del Carmen

What's the best way to get around Playa del Carmen? Shuttles might seem convenient, but typically, they only go to major attractions, making it more difficult to get to smaller attractions or towns. Hiring a driver can get expensive, and public transport forces you to adhere to someone else's schedule on your holiday.

When you rent a car from Enterprise, you have the flexibility to customise your trip. Enjoy the fun things you want to do when it is convenient for your schedule – no one else's. Interested in finding thrills as Xcaret? Or maybe you'd rather step back in time and explore Chichen Itza. With your Enterprise Rental Car, you can arrive early (or later) and visit these exciting attractions without crowded tour buses.

Whether you're looking for customisation or convenience, renting a car through Enterprise will help you make the most of your Playa del Carmen holiday.
