There's a lot of "hidden gem" spots in Mexico that we recommend exploring, but you're going to want a car for the ease of getting around.

Without it, you can face a prision sentence. You can check the rental conditions to make sure this is added. Alternatively, to avoid extra fees at the pick up location, you can see if your own insurance provides this when traveling to Mexico, you'll need to provide proof of coverage to the car rental company.

Car Rentals Frequently Asked Questions
Below, we've provided answers to the most frequently asked questions regarding car rentals. Including best times to book, how to extend a booking, and many other questions.
Q: What is a Rental Mileage Plan?
A: A rental mileage plan includes the number of miles or kilometers that your rental can drive for the duration of your rental agreement. If you plan on doing a lot of driving on your trip, it's always a good idea to opt for an unlimited mileage plan, so you can avoid additional fees.
Q: How Do I Extend My Rental?
A: It's always best to check with the rental car company directly to see if they can extend the booking for you. Every rental agency has different terms and conditions, so it's always best to check with them or manage your booking with a third party service.
Q: Is It Cheaper to Rent a Car from the Airport or a Downtown Location?
A: It's been proven that it's actually cheaper to pick up a car from a downtown location than to collect it from the airport. You can actually save nearly 30% on average by choosing to collect your car in the city center. So, it may be worth grabbing public transport from the airport to your central location.
