Cozumel Car Rental Insurance

In Cozumel, if for some reason your rental car is involved in an accident, you will be required to make full payment of all damages by Mexican law before you leave the island. Our Cozumel rental agency will supply the necessary reports for you to take to your insurance agency back home so you may recover the payment. We include Limited Liability Insurance with every Cozumel Vehicle Rental and Collision Coverage is available for $20 extra and theres only a 10% deductible for the value of the vehicle which is roughly $500, the same as the average Car Insurance deductible in the States.

An important thing to remember is that U.S. insurance companies won't make a direct payment for an accident or vehicle damages outside of the states and will have to wait a week or two until you may get reimbursed, but thats why you need to call your credit card company.

Cozumel traffic is very calm and the traffic laws and rules are fairly simple to understand. Read below for more information on Cozumel Traffic laws and how to handle Police.

How to handle Cozumel Traffic Violations?

First take a deep breath because Cozumel is not only safe and considered the safest place in Mexico, but Cozumel's traffic police force are really lenient in regard to traffic violations and don't harass vacations or even locals. They realize people are on vacation, and its very common for people to be make mistakes driving in a foreign country. The Traffic laws and rules are very simple and very similar to those in the United States. There are many stories of police trying to get money from vacationers, but in Cozumel thats just not the case. Cozumel has the most cruise ship traffic and is known as "Heaven on Earth" for a reason and wouldnt be so, if there were crooked cops patrolling the streets of Cozumel.

If you do find yourself in this rare situation, here are some helpul tips on how to save you the stress and frustration of dealing with Cozumel Traffic Violations or accusations.

1. Cozumel police officers all have uniforms, name badges and ID Cards fairly easy to spot since they drive around with their lights flashing, so you'll have a fair warning when they are approaching. Just make sure you see all three before assuming your in trouble.

2. Most police officers that would happen to stop you for a traffic violation should be able to speak basic English to explain the issue. If you happen to get into an accident, there will be someone who speaks English 95% of the time. There are Cozumel Traffic Police Chiefs who come to the scene and most often always know some English. If not request an English speaking officer.

3. All traffic violations are processed at the Police Station in Town very close to the piers. The Police officer will hold your driver's license at the Police Station until the matter is resolved. When in an accident they allow you to negotiate the cost with the other party. This is the most common and simple way to handle this. Always be polite and even if they try to get some ridiculous amount from you just smile and ask them to justify the cost. Make sure to always take pictures of the accident. If the situation can't be mutually resolved than you will sit in front of a judge (basically someone who is hears both stories and follows the law on making his or her rulings on how the situation will be handled).

So when being asked to go to the Police Station doesnt mean you are going to JAIL. Everyone involved in traffic violations or accident must go there to sort everything out and receive your ID back. The Police station is a great place to find even more English speaking officers to help you state your case.

4. Police officers dont handle the payments for fines. Paying a Cozumel traffic violation fee takes place at the police station where you will be given a receipt for your payment and your driver's license returned.

Here are 3 Separate ways to deal with the above situations.

1. If for some rare reason you are being scammed, just save your vacation time and pay the fee and be on your way. Never pay more than $20 USD for the inconvenience. If they demand more, ask to to be taken to the police station. They'll most likely take what you offer them or just let you go.

2. If you feel that you didnt violate any Traffic Violations or want to just fight it, than do so, but beware you might ruin half of your day doing so. If you feel that you were pulled over for no reason, just tell the officer this and if you like act upset and concerned. We have heard many stories of vacationers doing just this, and if its a scam, the Police officers will leave you alone. But they may also be stubborn or you did violate something and then you'll just be wasting your vacation time, and they will make sure to take their time.

3. Pretend you dont know any better and apologize countlessly until they either let you go, ask for money, or take you to the police station and get your processed quickly. Many tourists offer Police a bribe, and if you choose to do this be careful. Dont be blunt about giving them money to look the other way. Just pretend to not know what to do and offer to pay the fine to them so you can save your vacation time. Tell them your cruise is leaving or your late for a tour or excursion and they might let you off the hook. Please provide any personal situations you have dealt with below in our facebook comment box. Thank you.

Inside Cozumel Car Rental Agency

Car rentals in Cozumel Mexico can be an absolutely different experience than in the United States or anywhere else. If you don't book ahead of time, it could cost you a lot more to rent a car in Cozumel, and always make sure to review the rental contract before signing. We are the only Cozumel Rental Agency that includes 11% Tax, Limited Liability Insurance and free mileage. It is not uncommon to pay anywhere from US$50 to $80 per day for a small economical car. If you take the chance and wait to book when you're here, you run the chance of being overcharged and the Cozumel rental Agencies know the there aren't many options on the island so they can charge these high prices. They also never tell you that the Tax, Limited Liability Insurance and mileage are NOT included. So when you return you are in for a surprise.

But also availability plays into this as well, since Cozumel has a limited supply of car rentals. The Cozumel Rental Agencies are aware of this and, take advantage of this aspect to justify their high prices. The most notorious Cozumel Car Rental Agencies who have the most hidden costs are the name brand rental agencies. They know people come to them because of the name, but in Cozumel those are the rental car agencies to avoid. So this makes renting a car in advance an important factor, for people who are looking to save money, get a trusted car rental, and not get hit with hidden prices, and guarantee availability due to the high traffic of cruise ships into the island.
.
Be sure to turn a rental car in on time.even running just a few minutes late can sometimes cost a full day extra rental fee and this is typically a non-negotiable aspect with other the rental companies in Cozumel. Also, make sure the fuel is at the required level when returned or be prepared to pay a premium fee for the gas shortage. By taking the time to fill up your Cozumel rental vehicle a little earlier could save you a lot of money.

Inside Information on Cozumel Rental Car Agencies
There are dozens of car rental agencies now operating on Cozumel Island. Cozumel has the largest traffic of cruise ships, so it has become much more difficult to just walk right up to a car rental agency to book a rental vehicle. As for the airlines, it is very common for other Cozumel rental agencies to double-book reservations, especially during the high season (Winter-Spring). We have heard many stories from our car rental customers that have told us about their previous car renting experiences, and this is one of the most common issues we've heard. Keep in mind that the car rental agency can only control so much with clients returning cars at dates/times specified.

large cities, where there are several offices of the same car rental agency, most every reservation can be provided by the car rental agency, by working collectively to exchange rental vehicles to needed locations. Cozumel is an island, rental vehicle exchange isn't practical or cost efficient, so car rentals in Cozumel just won't be available. Cozumel Rental Car Agencies try to help each other as much as they can but with limited resources it's not always feasible.
