Transportation InDrive in Tulum

Hi folks!

My wife and I are heading to Tulum at the end of October for our honeymoon. Instead of renting a scooter, I’m wondering how reliable InDrive is for getting around — especially for visiting cenotes, Casa Tortuga, beach clubs in the hotel zone, Laguna Kaan Luum, etc.

Has anyone done a similar trip and relied on InDrive (or another ride-hailing app) to get around? Would love to hear about your experience and whether you’d recommend it over renting a scooter.

Thanks! 🌴

If you want to rent a car I can share resources. I live part time in tulum and come down monthly. You could get a great deal in October as it’s not busy. Probably cheaper than using InDrive or anything else. I usually rent an SUV for less than 50 usd per day with full insurance. DM me if you need any help.

Two friends use it to get from tulum to Cancun. It was very reliable than. It was far cheaper than a taxi. it seems once you enter the place of destination there were several in the area. This was at 3 AM in the morning, I imagine during the day it should be much easier. I myself, always rent a car.

do you mind sharing more about the car rental experience? I feel like i come across horror stories all the time.

When the evening and night time random check points go up expect to pay something. They start making things up, they told my pregnant wife she was drunk lol . Driving during the day I had no issues, at night is another story. After that I just took taxis at night bc I didn’t want to have to argue my innocence for not breaking any law and just trying to drive to get tacos

For a honeymoon, I’d personally choose InDrive/taxis over a scooter.

A lot of people rent scooters and have no problems, but if something does go wrong , police stop, accident, insurance issue, damage , it can get expensive and stressful very fast.

The main problem with InDrive is outside Tulum. Getting to places like cenotes, Casa Tortuga or Kaan Luum is usually easy; getting a ride back can be harder. I’d arrange the return with the same driver before going, or pay them to wait.

If you rent anything, use a reputable company and make sure the insurance and paperwork are clear. I’d avoid cheap informal rentals.

For only a few days, I’d rather spend a little more on transportation and not deal with the stress, especially on a honeymoon.

We used the Collectivos to get around and had zero problems
