The city is popular with holidaymakers and locals, so the roads can be very busy. It’s therefore advised that you choose a compact car, which will make navigating busy roads and parking easier. If you want to take a trip into the Mexican countryside, to an area like Central Flores, then you will probably want a car that is better suited to (and allowed to travel on) off-road terrain. For instance, an SUV is a good choice as it provides 4x4 capabilities, which is good for uneven and steep terrain; just check with your agency whether this type of activity is permitted.

When you’re driving in Mexico, you need to stay within the speed limits or you may receive a fine or be at an increased risk of accidents. When you are on the motorway, the speed limit is usually 100-120 km/h. This differs depending on which road you’re on, so it’s important that you adhere to the signs. When you’re on rural roads which are not motorways, the speed limit is 90 km/h, whereas in Chetumal and other urban areas, the maximum speed is 30-70 km/h, depending on how built up the area is.
