I am heading to Cozumel again in early May. I typically rent a car and drive but do not want to drive this trip. Has anyone had experience with the hiring of a taxi driver for the week. I would like to pay a flat daily fee and have the driver available to me from 1:00 pm to 9:00 pm.

What would be a reasonable rate? Is this even possible? Has anyone a driver (contact info please) that has done this? If not, where do I get an economical rental - the large multi national companies at the airport do not seem to provide this.

Thanks in advance,

Jim

Avis at airport was under 200 for the week on orbitz. I kept it an extra day and they charged me 20.00. I also use blueway, across street from airport. They will meet you at terminal and take you across.
 
Taxi's are so easy to get- with the rates posted, it seems like hailing them when you need them makes more sense.
Do you need the same driver?
 
Yes it is very possible. You might ask your dive op if they know of one. I have friends who met a taxi driver thru their dive op. He picks them up every morning and they call him when done diving.
You could also just find a driver who works mornings and tell him what time you want picked up evey morning and see if he wants to do it. Taxis are easy to get and i call the number if i am back in neighborhoods, they respond quickly .
 
It looks like it might cost you about $100-110 a day.

Could probably rent a car and pay for my flight for less than that...I'll sleep in the car.

Also, no need to call me when done diving since I'll be done at the same time :)
 
For a car rental I have always liked ISIS, you know what it costs up front and they are not into any 'gotcha' games. I have always heard good words about the lady who runs it and I also normally get a discount for cash.
 
Margarita at RENTADORA ISIS is great to deal with. I had an VW Gol (in great shape with actual brakes) with AC for 2 weeks at Xmas and it worked out to about $50 a day. Very nice people.
 
ISIS has been very good to me. Usually get a VW for $30/day.
Plus as a bonus Burritos Gordo is next door and they have great burritos.
I only wish she would take care of the gas for me as I hate filling it back up at the Pemex.
