Yes, several car rental companies operate from Tulum Airport's arrivals area, though options are currently more limited than at established Cancun Airport. Pre-booking online ensures availability and often better rates. Having a car provides flexibility exploring Tulum's beaches, nearby cenotes, Mayan ruins, and Quintana Roo's coast.
