Definitely rent from one of the major US firms, and probably get accustomed to the idea of paying for more insurances than you might opt for in the US. And use common sense, like not parking the car in sketchy areas or leaving it unlocked. But I doubt you'd have any issues.
The Andaz is NOT 30 miles north of Playa - it's more like 6 miles (see Google maps to verify) north. If the wedding is that far north, I would strongly recommend staying in Cancun which would be far far more convenient. While all inclusive, the Ziva is a GREAT hotel. There are tons of other options as well... if not going all inclusive, the Ritz Carlton is also known to be amazing.
