Avis Cozumel International Airport

Avis operates a counter at Cozumel International Airport, three kilometres from the center of San Miguel. Picking up here means you drive straight from arrivals rather than taking a taxi into town and then hunting for a rental office, which is the difference between reaching a south-side dive shop for an afternoon two-tank or missing it.

Rates And What's Included

Rates are quoted at booking and depend on car class and season. Mexican third-party liability insurance is legally mandatory and is charged locally in addition to most prepaid online rates, so read what the online quote actually covers before you assume the figure is final.

Insurance And Deposit

Expect the counter to require the mandatory Mexican liability policy regardless of what your home credit card provides, and expect a card pre-authorisation held for the duration. Ask the agent to itemise the liability, collision and theft components and to state the deductible on each.

Good To Know

The airport is small and the counters close in the evening, so if you land late confirm the office will still be open. Cozumel's road network is simple: one ring road, one cross-island highway, and a 24-hour Pemex on the airport road. Fill up before heading to the east coast, which has no fuel at all.

Getting There

Boulevard Aeropuerto Cozumel, inside the terminal, about ten minutes by road from downtown and the ferry pier.
