GETTING AROUND TOWN
Puerto Morelos is one of those places where you just don’t need a car… between all the taxis, colectivos (transport vans), bicycles, and now UBER, getting around town and the immediate surroundings can be easily accomplished without renting a car.
If you want a car for a few days, you may consider renting one from a highly recommended local business. The car will be dropped off and picked back up in Puerto Morelos, and everything is very friendly and easy. Contact Ron: (+52) 984 233 8610
A lot of tours and expeditions offer transport too, or you can book private transport through Ride Mexico, Lighthouse Tours, a taxi or Uber (depending on the location).
Let us know and we’ll help you make the best plan!
