![]() To make the most of your time, driving a car rental is an amazing way to go around Tulum. Make sure to set the price with the taxi driver before getting in so that the price is clear beforehand. So if you’re somewhere in the city center and you intend to the Tulum hotel area to, let’s say, a beach club called Ziggy’s, it would cost about $130 MXN. They are quite overpriced and the minimum fare per one-way journey can start at around $100 MXN. Uber is not available in Tulum but there is an abundance of taxis (they are white cars with red stripes). Bring your driver’s license or passport when driving as well because though it is rare, the police might do some random checks sometimes.Īlso, if you go further down the Tulum hotel area’s road, there are some stretches where there are a lot of potholes so beware. It is illegal to drive a scooter or moped without a helmet in Mexico, so do ensure that you wear it at all times. As for the deposit, it could start at $1,500 MXN or more. I suggest steering clear of shops that require you to leave your passport. To rent, you would need to show your driver’s license (they’ll take a photo of it or just use it as a reference for filling out paperwork) and then leave your passport OR a deposit. Most scooters or moped bikes that they offer are either the 125cc or 150cc type. Take note that prices can go up especially during peak season (December to February). Prices vary but they usually start at $500 MXN per day and $250 MXN for half a day. There aren’t a lot of shops that rent out scooters but you can find a majority of them in the town center such as Tigre Tulum. If you want a bit more freedom as well as gain the ability to go by yourself to far places like Reserva de la Biósfera Sian Ka’an, renting a moped motorbike or scooter is a great option. When nighttime comes, unless your bike has built-in lights, I advise that you refrain from using it because the hotel or beach road can get quite dark. Traffic is often slow so it’s still relatively safe to bike but still, do exercise caution at all times. Rest assured, there is a great bike lane that runs from Tulum Pueblo to Avenue Coba and until the first part of the hotel zone.Īfter that, the bike lane ends and you will have to bike on the narrow roads by the beach. To get to the Tulum hotel area from the city center, simply follow Google Maps‘ directions when you pick the cycle option. They even gave me their Whatsapp number so that I can easily contact them if I ever encounter any problems with the bike. ![]() For identification, I gave them a supermarket membership ID that I had and they accepted it as long as I had my photo in it. Tigre Tulum is a great bike rental shop that I’ve tried during my stay in Tulum and they only charged me MXN$100/day whilst asking for a MXN$500 deposit only (others often ask for MXN$1,000 and up). If you’re looking for cheaper options, rent a bike from any shop in the city center instead of the hotel zone. But if you’re lucky, your hotel might offer complimentary use of their bikes, so do check with them first!Ī lot of bike rental shops will require a deposit and a piece of identification from you - for this, please refrain from providing your passport for as much as possible. ![]() This is one of the tourists’ favorite modes of transportation when going around Tulum and if you don’t mind doing a bit of exercise, you can rent a bike or bicycle for as low as $100 MXN per day (around $5 USD) and this price can go up to to $200 MXN.
