Mexico Airport Car Rental

Car Rental In Mexico - Best Rental Deals

Mexico is just south of the U.S. border but despite how close it is to the most influential country in the western world, road tripping in Mexico can seem like you’re in another world entirely. There’s the language change as you trade plain English with the musical lilt of Spanish, there’s the climate which gets steadily more tropical as you continue south, the food which is about as far from Tex-Mex fast food as you can get. And that’s just the start.

Booking a car hire in Mexico will grant you the flexibility to explore all the wonders and hidden secrets of this nation on your own timetable. Whether you’re planning to head for the Yucatan Peninsula to see the ruins of civilizations long past, wanting to kick off your trip touring around Mexico City or plotting a journey through the northern states of Mexico, picking up a cheap car rental in Mexico will give you the freedom make the most of your chosen itinerary.

Airport rentals around Mexico

Mexico offers a surprisingly diverse array of destinations, and with a Mexico airport car rental, they’re all open to you. Take a look below at a few of the most popular Mexican destinations for AirportRentals.com customers - it might just spark an idea for a road trip of your own.

Cancún Airport car rental - Even if you don’t know much about Mexico at all, chances are you’ve at least heard about Cancún. This is far and away the most popular holiday spot in Mexico, thanks to its crystal clear Caribbean waters and white sand beaches.

Puerto Vallarta airport car rental - Like Cancún, Puerto Vallarta is famous for its sun and sand, although it sits on the shore of an entirely different ocean. While the day brings sunbathing and shopping, when the sun goes down the legendary nightlife emerges.

Guadalajara airport car rental - Guadalajara is one of Mexico’s biggest cities, and is counted among the country’s major cultural centers. One of the city’s many claims to fame is its status as the home of mariachi music. Guadalajara is also known for tequila, so don’t leave before indulging in a taste or two.

Cozumel airport car rental - Caribbean island holidays might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you think of Mexico, but that’s exactly what Cozumel offers. The sea life here is a major attraction, with the chance to see manatees, dolphins and sea turtles.

Mexico City airport car rental - The capital city of Mexico is the spinning center of the nation, and though it’s had a bit of a rough reputation in the past, the city has done wonders to clean up its act and transform into a world-class travel destination.

Loreto airport car rental - Set on the lower portion of the Baja California peninsula (Baja California Sur) Loreto offers a stunning selection of attractions: colonial heritage, pristine beaches, prehistoric paintings, cave exploration… this is truly a wonderful place to visit no matter what kind of vacation you’re after.

Monterrey airport car rental - Nestled in the shadow of rugged mountains, this busy cosmopolitan city in Mexico’s northeast offers urban attractions and outdoor adventure activities in equal measure. Barrio Antiguo is the colourful hub for the city’s shopping and nightlife - make sure you schedule a visit.

Mexico car hire suppliers

There’s no shortage of Mexico car hire suppliers, which means that if you keep an eye out for deals it’s pretty easy to find a cheap car rental in Mexico. The diverse range of car rental brands in Mexico allows you to pick from big name international companies like Avis, Budget or Alamo, or opt for smaller brands which can sometimes offer outstanding deals, like Mex Rent a Car or America Car Rental.

Mexico road rules

Driving in Mexico will probably be a bit different to what you’re used to, so it’s worth really paying attention at all times. A valid overseas licence allows you to use Mexico’s roads, so you don’t have to go through the hassle of getting a temporary licence or anything like that. Default speed limits are 40 km/h in urban/suburban areas, 80 km/h outside built up areas and 100-110 km/h on highways. This can change though, so keep a sharp eye out for speed limit signs - police are pretty vigilant about speeding offences so take no chances. One driving rule that is peculiar to Mexico City is the Un Dia Sin Auto (one day without a car). This means that one day per week, driving a personal car is not permitted - the specific day will depend on the last digit of the car’s number. Ask your rental supplier for additional details on this rule if you have more questions and are planning to tackle the streets of Mexico City.

Mexico driving tips

Lastly, a few very important pointers for driving your car hire in Mexico:

Do not drive at night. It’s not worth it. A lot of people say this because of roadside bandits, but the much bigger problem is the animals (some of them large) which frequently wander across Mexican roads. Street lighting isn’t generally very good, so nocturnal collisions are frighteningly common.
Another big reason not to drive at night (and to pay close attention to the road at any time of day) are “Topes” or speed bumps. They are merciless, and you need to slow down a lot to avoid catastrophe. Sometimes there are warning signs, sometimes there aren’t, so don’t drift off.
Don’t stop to pick up strangers on the side of the road. It might seem like a nice thing to do but this is a common tactic used by banditos who are looking to relieve you of your cash.
There are two different types of roads crossing the country: toll (cuota) and free (libre) roads. Animals, topes and uneven road conditions are all things to watch out for on free roads. On the other hand, toll roads tend to be much better maintained but they are expensive and you miss all the character of the country when traveling via toll road.
All speed signs and limits are in metric (km/h) so remember to mentally adjust for that if you’re used to measuring speed in miles per hour.
