in the last weekBe very careful parking in Tulum. Our rental car was towed late at night for being “too close to a corner” despite there being no signs or yellow lines anywhere. The police fine itself was reasonable, but the real issue is what happens next. You are sent to a third party impound company, Grupo Automotriz Riviera, where the charges suddenly jump to over 4000 pesos for a short tow and one night of storage. The breakdown includes questionable extras like “manoeuvres” and “conditioning” that clearly do not apply to a simple street tow. There is effectively no way to challenge it. Staff refuse to engage, close the window, and simply wait until you pay. This feels like a systemic setup between towing and impound rather than a fair process. The police should seriously reconsider the third party company they use. If you are driving in Tulum, avoid parking anywhere near corners or unclear areas, even without markings. Unfortunately this experience left a very negative impression of Tulum.
