I am planning my first cruise for this January on the Miracle. Thanks to everyone who has posted such good advice!
Is it possible to rent a scooter in Cozumel? Does anyone have an idea of price?
Yes, I know it is dangerous, I drive a motorcycle in New Jersey, how dangerous can one road in Cozumel be?
Thanks in advance for your advice!

Donna,

That one road can be real dangerous. I've spent 5+ weeks over 10 years in Cozumel and every time I leave I am amazed of the number of people in the Airport boarding area wrapped up in bandages and splints ect from scooter wrecks. That doesn't include the cruisers which outnumber the land based vacationers 10 to 1. The roads aren't up to the standards you are used to. The local drivers get no drivers ed of any sort. The cab drivers can be pyschotic. Traffic is heavy. If you need the wind in your face rent a jeep to see the Island. I ride a bike in So Cal where the drivers are notoriously aggressive. You couldn't pay me to ride one of those little scooters down there. Now if they rented Harley's I might have to think about it.

Thanks Rich. If they rented Harleys, I'd think twice about getting back on the ship.

I think in Cozumel its mandatory to ride scooters ha ha Everyone I saw had one. I even noticed a couple man in front, woman behind with a tiny baby kind of dangling on her lap. Yikes! I agree with Rich, its not the safest thing to do.

When I was in Cozumel last month there were rental places right at the pier. Lots of options in cars and scooters! Have fun
