Driving and onward travel
- Scooters: Rentals exist but are uncommon; traffic is light, though the sun and heat are intense. Taxis suit most visitors.
- Driving: on the right. Foreign licences are valid. Mexican liability insurance is required; a foreign-plated car beyond the border zone needs an import permit.
- Onward travel in Mexico: First-class buses (ADO, ETN, Primera Plus) are comfortable and the usual way between cities. Budget airlines cover long hops cheaply; the Tren Maya links Yucatán Peninsula towns.
