About Renting a Car at Playa Del Carmen Plaza Paraiso

Playa del Carmen is a vibrant town along Riviera Maya, and with a rental car, the entire Yucatán Peninsula opens up before you. Drive south on Highway 307 and you'll reach Tulum in approximately 60 kilometers, where the famous Mayan ruins stand high above the Caribbean. To the north along the same road, you'll find Cancún after about 70 kilometers, while the road inland leads to Chichén Itzá, one of the world's most impressive archaeological sites, in roughly two hours.

Don't forget to take a detour to one of the fantastic cenotes that dot the landscape all around, for example Gran Cenote just outside Tulum. The best way to experience the region is undoubtedly by car, since public transportation rarely reaches the more remote beaches and natural attractions that make Riviera Maya so unforgettable.

We compare prices from all major providers at Playa Del Carmen Plaza Paraiso so you can see the total cost upfront — including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
