Welcome to the Riviera Maya, the Mexican paradise waiting to be explored! At Drivey, we know that every corner of this destination has something special to offer, from dreamlike beaches to ancient ruins. What better way to discover it all than with the freedom of your own car? Get ready to experience unforgettable adventures as you travel the Caribbean coast at your own pace.
Before you dive into this exciting adventure, it's important to talk about a key topic: currency exchange. We know it can be a bit confusing, but don't worry! We're here to guide you through the entire process.
Currency Type: There are many exchange houses throughout the Riviera Maya, so you won't have trouble finding a place to exchange your money. However, keep in mind that while these exchange houses exist, they only accept certain currencies, such as the US Dollar, Canadian Dollar, Pound, Euro, Brazilian Real, and Australian Dollar in some places. Therefore, I suggest that if you come to Cancún and do not use these currencies, you exchange your money for US Dollars, as it will be easier to make conversions. It is important to note that the buying and selling price of dollars can vary between different exchange houses. It is a good idea to compare rates before making your exchange to ensure you get the best deal.
You will find the majority of exchange centers in and around downtown Cancún and the Hotel Zone. Even banks, such as Santander and BBVA, are available for currency exchange and are an excellent option with reasonable offers. We share the exchange houses that have worked for us when exchanging currencies on our map of locations.
But wait, there's more! Did you know that several shopping centers and convenience stores in the Riviera Maya accept dollars? That's right; it is an easy and convenient way to make your purchases while exploring the area. Don't forget! It is your responsibility to know the exchange rate the business uses. Most of them will have it displayed, and employees will be able to provide this information. Be careful and ask about the exchange rate the establishment offers for the dollar.
With all this in mind, you are ready to start your adventure in the Riviera Maya. So rent your car with Drivey, turn on the music, and get ready to live experiences you will remember forever. From swimming in crystal-clear cenotes to exploring ancient Mayan cities, the Riviera Maya has something for everyone.
