Destination
Cozumel, Mexico
Cozumel is small enough to explore by scooter or car in a day. Rentals are available at the airport and in San Miguel. A car or Jeep is useful for reaching the east coast beaches and driving the island loop.
Rental Options
Scooters and cars are widely available. Scooters run about $15-25/day; cars $35-55. Jeeps cost more but are fun for the east side. Book at the ferry terminal or in town; airport pickups are less common.
What to See
The east coast has wild beaches and a few beach clubs. The southern tip and San Gervasio ruins are easy by car. One full day is enough to loop the island with stops.
Practical Tips
Traffic in San Miguel is mild. East side roads are narrower and less busy. Fuel up in town; stations are limited on the east side. Inspect the vehicle and take photos before leaving.
Driving Tips
- Scooters are ideal for one or two people
- Do the island loop clockwise for the best views
- East coast has fewer services — take water and snacks
- Rent from a reputable operator; check reviews
