I guess we won't be doing those shots then. Yeah you can rent scooters and volkswagon dune buggies, and even harleys in cancun. Those shops are everywhere you won't have a problem finding one. Never rented when I went seen all the cops on the road pulling random people over and just made me a bit nervous to drive one. You here all the horror stories about being ripped off when returning them or even with the cops giving you a hard time for no reason. If I did rent one though I would look for a shop not some guy on the side of the road with a sign and 2 cars. Lots of people were doing it though and man do those little manx dune buggies look fun to drive. I think they wanted $25 for an hour or something like $$60 for the day could be wrong on the day qoute though and that was for the buggies. The scooter are super cheap though and look like they would be fun to rent for a ride around Cozumel or Isla mujeres. When you get back drop a line leting us know how it looks down there. Very interested to know which big clubs are open down there right now.

for Cozumel

Its pretty cool if you dont get injured or killed. Much moped traffic on Cozumel and many accidents. Problem is, many of the drivers are either school kids with no license or people with too much to drink. The locals handle the mopeds and the traffic fairly well but a different story with the tourists not used to the traffic.

Bummer,

When you drive along what we called the "Mexican Autobahn" you see many of the memorials for people who have died along that road. The people there drive 80-100 miles per hour (not kidding). I remember when we were ther in Feb. this year we saw a family of 10 on one scooter! I could not believe it! If you want to drive around the island, you'd be safer taking a cab or maybe even renting a jeep. You can also check to see if there is a tour. Good Luck and be careful!

Bummer-

I wouldn't rent a scooter...Just rent a car if you're coming into CanCun...Renting a scooter is like asking to get run over or to wreck it... not the same as the keys or cozumel at all....

Bummer....hubby and I rented a scooter on Coz. in Feb. No problems.....tons of fun.....for the first couple hours...after that I wished we would have rented a jeep.

If you do this, go with an appetite for fun and food, stop off at the beaches and side bars for snacks and coronas....whatever your delight. A most relaxing day. Scooters were $20.00/day and jeeps were $30.00/day. Very cheap.
