blainesterrr Posted August 8, 2016 #1 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Okay so I've been to Cozumel twice so far, and will be there again in September. I made a reservation with Alamo to rent a car and plan to tour the island in the car. So in wondering what are some must sees? Also if anyone has experience with Alamo, how was it? I booked a $7 a day car with $18 insurance plan. Came up to $31. Does that sound legit? Any good free snorkeling spots? I may want to rent or may buy my own snorkel gear before I cruise..

JohninDC Posted August 8, 2016 #2 Share Posted August 8, 2016 You can snorkel for "free" at The Money bar -- no admission fee, but it is polite to buy drinks/snacks. Good snorkeling from the shore (you enter the water via steps) plus good facilities and rental gear/guides if you need them. When I cruise I bring my own prescription mask/snorkel and rent everything else to save room in my baggage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
epcopres Posted August 8, 2016 #3 Share Posted August 8, 2016 That sounds like a STEAL I looked up Alamo car rental for my upcoming cruise to Cozumel and the cheapest they had was $103.24. Are you sure your numbers are right ? Did you rent a scooter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABQrobin Posted August 8, 2016 #4 Share Posted August 8, 2016 That price is definitely wrong for a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blainesterrr Posted August 8, 2016 Author #6 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Not sure how clear that picture is. But I just went to alamos website and put in my dates and it came up with $5 for manual compact and $7 for automatic.

whitneylee Posted August 9, 2016 #7 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I looked for my recent cruise and I am getting $5 & $7 Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blainesterrr Posted August 9, 2016 Author #8 Share Posted August 9, 2016 That's actually cheaper than a round trip taxi ride.. Even after you purchase the insurance. Sent from my iPhone using Forums mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maldenmusic Posted August 9, 2016 #9 Share Posted August 9, 2016 We are looking at renting a car from Alamo and with all the insurance it comes up to over $100. This was for a compact car, no AC and standard transmission. Where are you picking it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
