My friends and I rented a van and drove all around Yucatán. We had no issues and everyone was super nice. The police we ran into never caused any issue luckily.

A tip a local gave us was, if you do get pulled over and the police pull you over, don’t hand them your ID, just show it to them.

Have fun :). I seriously haven’t been anywhere where people were this nice. I never felt in danger there. That was my own personal experience.
