Ciudad del Carmen Car Hire

Ciudad del Carmen was an isolated and sleepy Mexican fishing town that was transformed overnight into the oil boom town of today. The only colours stronger than the black gold that is pumped from the sea is the blue of the lagoon surrounding Ciudad del Carmen and the green of the mangroves which grow in it.

Hiring a car in Ciudad del Carmen

If you're arriving at the airport, probably on one of the Ciudad del Carmen flights that arrive from Houston daily, then one option is car hire from Ciudad del Carmen Airport. There is cheap Ciudad del Carmen car hire available from the town itself too, but for a wider selection than is offered by Ciudad del Carmen car hire firms you can travel to nearby Villahermosa or Campeche. Naturally the hotels in Ciudad Del Carmen can receive your car delivery if booked in advance.

Places to visit in Ciudad del Carmen

The local cathedral dates back to the Colonial era which helps paint the picture of life here in the past. Imagine the town as described in pirate attacks, for example, thanks to an exhibition at the town's museum. You can also find ancient Mayan ceramic art here. A trip to this old fishing town would not be complete without taking a boat out for a spot of fishing in the lagoon or at sea, or to visit one of the surrounding beaches.
