Car Rental in Puerto Morelos

Puerto Morelos is a charming fishing village located between Cancún (35 km to the north) and Playa del Carmen (30 km to the south), and with 3 rental agencies in the center, it's an excellent alternative to the crowded tourist resorts on the Riviera Maya. The village is surrounded by the Mesoamerican Barrier Reef – the world's second-largest coral reef – and Ruta de los Cenotes begins just west of Puerto Morelos along Highway 307. The center is compact and walkable, but a car is necessary to reach the cenotes and jungle temples.

Drive west on Ruta de los Cenotes to visit Cenote Siete Bocas and Cenote Boca del Puma, both within 15 km. Park for free at the town square in the center and walk to the restaurants. Book your rental car in advance during Christmas and Easter – availability is severely limited.

How far is it from Puerto Morelos to Cancún airport? It's 28 km to the north along Highway 307, a journey of approximately 25–30 minutes. Can I visit Tulum with a rental car from Puerto Morelos?
