Rentadora Joaquín

Took the ferry over to isla mujeres. When you get to the street hang a right and shortly on the left is Rentadora Joaquin golf cart rental place. I was told to negotiate but we didn’t on this trip. $ 40 per cart and we rented two. The carts are well maintained and we had no problems during our excursion. Have to leave your drivers license until you bring the cart back. Carts have to be returned at 5pm.
If four people goes in one cart 2 have to sit in the back facing backward and between the fumes and the sun it makes it rather tortuous and caused motion sickness. I did see they had a four seater that all faced forward which we will get on the next trip.
The people at the rental place where very nice and helpful. Even if you have never driven a golf cart before you will have no problem. Ask the staff for a quick how to before pulling out, they are happy to help.

Unilocal is usually spot on in the States, but there are a bunch of off reviews when searching Isla Mujeres. Seems like a completely different user because many of the great or bad ratings were way off.
Retadora Joaquin is the only place I would recommend getting a golf cart. I checked out 5 different rental places and what I typically found was a too cool for life young dude who would not open till 9 or 10. I stumbled upon Joaquins (even though it is right in front of your face to the left when exiting from the ferry) and found Victor. He was well dressed, very nice, not a hard core salesman and get this, he was open at 8AM. What a go getter. Just show up early and even without a reservation you will get a cart. Victor let me look over all the rentals and I found a new cart with great tires and rented it for 2 weeks. Never an issue, ran great and it ended up being about $ 100 less per week than many other tourists we spoke with.

This place tried to overcharge us for 2 golf carts. Tip. have pesos to negotiate better.

My understanding is that Isla Mujeres Golf Cart Rentals is a referral and booking website that secures carts from various locations, Rentadora Joaquin being one of them and is referenced on their website:
We knew in advance that a golf cart rental was going to be needed once we arrived to Isla Mujeres. After speaking with some people on the ferry ride over from Cancun, we were told that walking away from the ferry terminal we could find better deals. About 2 blocks to the rightt /​south of the ferry terminal is Rentadora Joaquin, the same location. The initial process of the getting the cart was easy enough, however, the staff provided no in depth instructions, just how to put it in reverse, which would later give rise to a big problem. So we took off and rode up a down the stip area, stopped at Playa Norte, then continued down towards Playa del Sur. Some time mid way there, among the many up and down hills, the golf cart began slowing down to nearly a slow crawl — as in we could literally walk faster than it was moving. Several people stopped to try and help us but no one knew what was wrong — so we turned around and headed back to the store. Irritated from being nearly stranded and wasting so much time, we expected something, but nope, no explanation was given, just exchanged to a new cart. So we went about our day, back to Playa del Sur and around the island. We met an American in the centro area that told us the problem would have been fixed by simply reaching down and adjusting the throttle switch control ! Why weren’t we told this when we rented the golf cart? So with 20 mins prior to boarding our ferry back to Cancun we went to return the cart. The staff began this disorganized shuffle and search for our rental papers and paperclipped on driver’s license — low and behold — THEY LOST MY ID ! The man their ended up calling multiple people on his cell phone and explained that another customer got into an accident on their cart, and the employee who went out to meet that customer and the police took my ID to report my identity to the police! Are you kidding me? You can’t make this level of ineptitude up. I started flipping out yelling, furious they were giving my information to the police, furious they were incompetent enough to not see my face on the ID clearly didn’t match the customer in the accident, furious they didn’t seem to notice that clearly we were two different people with two different names, and furious they were wasting my time and causing us to miss the ferry. Finally the employee at the accident site came back and handed me my ID — with zero apology or explanation, and certainly no discount or refund for the hassle. ZERO PROFESSIONALISM.

Llegas a Isla Mujeres después de como 15 minutos en ferry desde Cancún y al llegar te encontrarás con la calidez isleña, la gente lindísima, un amor, es felicidad, todo hasta aquí va de ma-​ra-​vi-​lla, pero pon en engorda la cartera porque todo es un poquito más carito que en Playa del Carmen o Cancún, cada taxi anda mínimo en $ 70 MXP cada trayecto, así que si quieres recorrer de punta a punta la isla, te recomiendo que te rentes un carrito de golf o una moto, todo está cerquita y ya te quiero ver después de 3, 4 cuadritas caminando con el calorcito que hace y bajo ese solecito en todo su esplendor, no es lo mejor, a menos que tu plan sea tatemarte. Aparte qué maravilla, ¡puedes andar para arriba y para abajo en un carrito de golf! Lo único que necesitas es tu licencia que se la quedan ellos en garantía y $ 189 MXP por hora, $ 525 MXP por el día o $ 682.5 por 24 horas y te puedes ir a donde sea sin mayor problema, vale totalmente la pena. ¡Yo fui feliz manejando el carrito de golf! Jamás lo había hecho, así que esperé una súper instrucción de cómo saber manejar y no, es tan fácil como: aquí se acelera, aquí se frena, manijita hacia la derecha es reversa y manijita hacia la izquierda para avanzar, literal se prende con un botón. Es la onda, no te imagines la aventura a gran velocidad, vas «súper lento» a comparación de un automóvil, pero se siente como si fueras rapidísimo, aparte que te diviertes como mocoso caguengue. Es lo máximo.
Puedes irte a cualquier Beach Club a ver los atardeceres que son preciosos. La ventajota de estar en una isla del Caribe, es que puedes ver cómo amanece por el mar y de la misma forma, cómo por el mar se esconde el sol, ofreciendo el mejor espectáculo para tu goce y disfrute.
Pd. Le daría todas las estrellitas, porque estuvo increíble la experiencia, pero después vi otras opciones más baras, pesitos menos, tampoco la gran granga, pero pues ofrecen el mismo servicio así que lo dejo a su criterio.
