Taxis on Cozumel are a convenient and relatively inexpensive way to get around the island. Here are some tips to keep in mind when using taxis:
Confirm the fare: Before you get into a taxi, confirm the fare with the driver. Ask how much it will cost to get to your destination, and make sure you’re both on the same page before you start the journey.
Carry small bills: Taxis on Cozumel may not always have change for larger bills, so it’s a good idea to carry smaller bills, like 50 or 100 pesos.
Negotiate for longer trips: If you’re planning a longer trip or a sightseeing tour, you may be able to negotiate a lower fare with the driver. Just be sure to agree on the price beforehand.
Use licensed taxis: Look for taxis with official markings and logos, and avoid unlicensed taxis, which may not be insured or regulated.
Tipping is optional: Tipping is not required, but it’s customary to round up to the nearest peso or give a small tip if you’re happy with the service.
Call for a taxi: If you’re in a more remote area or need a taxi at a specific time, you can call a taxi company to arrange a pickup. Some popular taxi companies on Cozumel include Taxi Turismo and Taxi Súper Turismo.
By following these tips, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable taxi experience on Cozumel, and make the most of your time on the island.

If you’re planning to rent a car to explore the island, there are a few things to keep in mind:
Drive on the right side of the road: In Mexico, as in the United States and Canada, drivers stay to the right side of the road. If you’re not used to driving on the right, it can take some getting used to.
Watch out for speed bumps: Cozumel has many speed bumps (or “topes,” as they’re called in Mexico) on its roads. They’re usually well-marked, but it’s still important to keep an eye out for them to avoid damaging your vehicle or causing an accident.
Follow traffic rules: In general, traffic rules in Mexico are similar to those in the United States and Canada. Keep an eye out for stop signs, traffic lights, and other signals. And always wear your seatbelt!
Avoid driving at night: Many of Cozumel’s roads are poorly lit, and there can be hazards on the road that are difficult to see in the dark. If possible, avoid driving after dark.
Be prepared for narrow roads: Some of Cozumel’s roads are quite narrow, especially in the downtown area. Take it slow and be prepared to give way to oncoming traffic.
By following these tips and exercising caution, you can have a safe and enjoyable driving experience on the island of Cozumel.
Driving a scooter can be a fun and convenient way to explore Cozumel, but it’s important to take some precautions to ensure your safety:
Wear a helmet: In Mexico, helmets are required by law for all scooter riders. Make sure your helmet is properly fitted and fastened before you hit the road.
Watch out for road hazards: Cozumel’s roads can be bumpy and uneven in some places, so keep an eye out for potholes, speed bumps, and other hazards. Slow down when approaching these obstacles to avoid losing control of your scooter.
Be aware of other drivers: Cozumel’s roads can be busy, especially in the downtown area. Keep an eye out for other drivers, and be prepared to give way when necessary.
Stay visible: Scooters can be difficult for other drivers to see, so it’s important to wear bright or reflective clothing to make yourself more visible. Use your scooter’s lights and signals to indicate your movements to other drivers.
Know your limits: If you’re not an experienced scooter rider, it’s a good idea to stick to quieter, less busy roads until you get the hang of it. And remember, if you’re not comfortable riding a scooter, you can always rent a car or take a taxi instead.
By following these tips and taking care while driving your scooter, you can enjoy all the sights and sounds of Cozumel while staying safe and secure on the road.
