Car Rental in Cancun

Family car rental in Cancun

The segments of standard, intermediate and full-size cars in Mexico traditionally include the following vehicles: Ford Taurus, Honda Accord, Pontiac Grand Prix, Toyota Camry, Hyundai Sonata, Dodge Stratos and others.

The process of a car reservation on OrangeSmile.com consists of 3 simple steps: (1) search by the dates and pick-up location, (2) car type selection, and (3) booking form completion. After the booking, you will receive a rental voucher at your e-mail address.

Before selecting a specific model to book, check your planned routes. If you are going to drive mostly within the Cancun borders, choose a car of 'Standard' or 'Compact' types. In case you plan long cross-countries trips or mountain adventures, the more comfortable and powerful 'Fullsize' models would become a better choice.

If you need a car with an automatic gearbox, try to make a reservation at least a few days before the pick-up date, since confirmation of such models in Cancun might be delayed for a day or two.

Upon the return of your car, carefully check that the total payment amount (invoice) is computed according to the original rental conditions.

We wish you 'smooth', secure and safe roads in Cancun!

Violators, who pay a fine within next seven days after the breach, are eligible for impressive “discounts”. For example, the amount of monetary penalties for certain violations can be reduced by 50%.
In many cities police officers take bribes, and inexperienced motorists from other countries remain their main target. Police officers often deliberately exaggerate the amount of fines, relying on the ignorance of tourists. Such accidents are the most widespread in Acapulco.
If you see a police car riding behind you with flashing lights turned on, it should be considered as a demand to stop. Drivers should also keep in mind that stopping at the first convenient place is prohibited. An officer can issue an additional fine for that. It is better to get to the nearest bus draw-in and stop there.

Traveling in Cancun with family car
Independence Day is a very important holiday in the life of local people. It is always widely celebrated, so tourists can attend many interesting events and celebrations. The holiday is celebrated on September 15, not 16, even though the latter is more accurate according to the historical data. It is believed that the holiday’s date was changed to coincide with the day of Saint Porphyrios. Theatrical performances have become a common way to celebrate Independence Day. During these performances, visitors can learn more about the events that happened more than 200 years ago. At official celebrations, local people also sing the national anthem and shout the names of freedom fighters and “Viva, Mexico!” The holiday usually ends with fabulous fireworks.

During the period from October 31 to November 2, when many countries celebrate Halloween, some countries in Latin America have their version of the holiday – the Day of the Dead. Despite such a gloomy name, it is a merry and energetic holiday that Mexicans like to celebrate. They clean tombs of their deceased family members and friends, leave gifts to them and light candles in churches. It is believed that in order not to sadden and disturb the deceased, it is important to have fun and forget about all troubles on the Day of the Dead. Locals decorate streets of their cities with garlands and ribbons, participate in colorful processions with colorful lanterns, sing, and dance.
