I drove from Mérida to Cancún and visited several places around Mérida, Izamal, and Valladolid. Having a car was helpful and made the trip an enjoyable experience for the whole family. The roads are in good shape, and it feels secure driving around.

We rented the car in Merida and traveled to Uxmal to visit the ruins, then to Chichen Itza and on to Valladolid. We visited cenotes in Tulum, spent the day in Playa del Carmen and returned the car in Cancun to fly home.

We drove the rental car to Uxmal (Mayan ruins), to Celestun, and to a couple of cenotes. These day trips would have been much more difficult without a car.

Chitzen Itzá and plenty of centra during the two days. Better and cheaper than booking it via an agency and by bus.

Driving in Mexico is not bad, don't listen to the horror stories they tell you to scare you into paying more money.
