We rented a car (VW Safari) from Less Pay Rentals in Cozumel and drove all around the island. ONce you get about 3 miles away from the port the island starts to get quite deserted, with beautiful beaches all around. (You can really only drive half-way around then take a road right through the center of teh island, into San Miguel. We went to the ruins at San Gervasio, stopped at roadside restaurants/shops/bars, visited Chankanaab Park (beach and snorkeling, lagoon, dolphin area, etc. - very good but costs $10 apiece to get in.) We also had time to explore San Miguel, and have a drink in a bar on the pier before returning to ship. Plus, we went back to the ship for lunch, then headed out again. The whole day cost about $80 (we had our own snorkel gear.)Have a great time. I'd do Cozumel again in an instant. By the way, if you just want to go to one place, the taxis are relatively inexpensive and some of the beaches close to the port are free. Check the COzumel INsider on the INternet (http://www.cozumelinsider.com/carrental/) You can also book a rental car through them. We noticed an Alamo Car Rental agency going in right at the pier. Might be worth checking out. It's by far the closest location to the pier.
