Located on Mexico's idyllic Yucatán Peninsular, the sun-drenched beach haven of Cancun has emerged in recent years as one of the world's most popular multi-faceted seaside destinations. Besides its appeal as a year-round sun, sea and sand resort, the city itself offers a wealth of tourist interest, with enough activities and attractions in and around its perimeter to satisfy the most discerning of travellers. Located in the heart of Cancun city centre, the Maya Museum traces the roots of the region's ancient Mayan civilisation from its foundation around 2,000 BC. The Cancun Underwater Museum (MUSA) is another must for visitors looking for an alternative to lying on the city's long, white sandy beaches. This fantastic and highly original sea-bed attraction is an absolute delight to explore, with over five hundred unique sculptures spread across two underwater galleries situated at depths of between three and six metres. The Cancun Interactive Aquarium is another popular addition to the city's fast-growing tourism portfolio, with a host of features for all the family including a unique underwater walking experience called the Aquarium Trek. With a car hire in Cancun you'll also be within striking distance of one of the world's most photographed ancient monuments, namely the Mayan Ruins of Chichén Itzá. This striking UNESCO-classified World Heritage Site is a must for visitors to Cancun, with several of its buildings remaining from its one thousand-plus years of existence, including the iconic 30-metre-high El Castillo temple.

" Very professional staff "
" I hire cars regularly so I'm very confident regarding check in. Alamo are a good company but will also try to sell the expensive 'Excess cover'. They weren't pushy so that's good for them. This issue needs regulation though and the car hire industry needs to change "

" The car was conveniently small, hence easy to park. A tiny car is great if you're not planning to drive a lot. To get a better experience in longer journeys, I'd recommend a car with a more powerful motor to decrease fuel consuption. "
" Everything went smooth and the staff was very nice, welcoming, and polite. "

" Great price; no problems "
" "Meet & greet" from flight worked well - you need to go outside the terminal building to find them. However only one automatic car on the lot (despite specific request) - a not properly cleaned 7 seater Chrysler Town&Country (huge! not the intermediate ordered). They also put a huge deposit onto my credit card, which caused MasterCard to put an immediate block on the card for possible fraud, which caused me some embarrassment - suggest using a spare credit card for this. But the pick up/drop off was fine, even though SIXT are the only major operator that's offsite at Cancun, and they were relaxed about the free second named driver. Don't bother with an International Driving Permit - they didn't want to see it. "
" It was very confusing when I arrived in Cancun, looking for Mex Rent. There was no such company and I was lucky someone pointed me to Fox Rent. Otherwise the experience was fine "
" No problems except slow to process rental "
" Simple, easy to book, great prices "
" Would not hesitate to use Firefly again. We were a bit anxious about some reports we had heard about hiring a car in Mexico, but Firefly were a pleasure to deal with. Collected us from airport on a short minibus shuttle to very nearby office. Very pleasant people, we had the budget type small car which was fine for 2 of us, we did a lot of travelling around and car was completely reliable. The mandatory Mexican insurance was included in price, we had our own insurance (as we travel widely) this was not an issue and recognised. Looking forward to returning, Thank you "
" Good value. Have used many times. "
" Had difficulty finding Sixt representative at Cancun airport. Intend in future only to book companies that have an office at the airport I'm travelling to. "
" Very efficient "
" High mileage vehicles. First car had 63k on the clock, smelt of stale tobacco & steering was not very precise. I requested a change of vehicle and this was done without question. The VW replacement had 32k on the clock & was reliable & clean. Staff at all times helpful "
