Whatever sort of ride you want, Expedia will help you pick up the best deal. Simply compare offers from leading rental providers and book the option that's right for you. Want to drive away with even more in your wallet? Bundle your Playa del Carmen car rental with flight or hotel bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Playa del Carmen?
In Playa del Carmen, the requirement is generally 21 and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can differ based on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require the purchase of inclusive insurance. Don't forget to check the fine print before choosing your wheels.
What do you need to rent a car in Playa del Carmen?
You'll generally require a driver's license and a credit card in the same name when picking up your car. Proof of coverage may also be required if you'd like to opt out of the company's insurance policy. Rules often differ between rental outlets, so it's a good idea to check in advance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Playa del Carmen?
Journeying around Playa del Carmen will be second nature to drivers from the States. This destination, and the rest of Mexico, sticks to the right side of the road.

These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Playa del Carmen?

Where can I find a Playa del Carmen car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the car rental companies that operate in Playa del Carmen. They often have different age policies. If you've found an outlet that does cater to drivers under 25 years of age, take note that extra costs may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Playa del Carmen?
For a smooth, stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your rental car booking. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also offers customers round-the-clock emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your Playa del Carmen vehicle with Expedia and save money and time at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Playa del Carmen with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Mexico, then it's likely you'll need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll have to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of vehicles available to rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
