Put your wallet away, because you can! Expedia has car rentals that you can book now and pay later. That means you can reserve your ride without paying upfront. You’ll only pay the full amount when you pick up your car, and a hold will be placed on your credit card for the amount of the deposit. However, some of the car rental deals in Mexico may require prepayment. You’ll clearly see your options in the search results display.

Canceling a prepaid car booking with at least six hours notice should allow for a full refund. However, this is not always a given. It’s worth checking your itinerary and rental agreement. Still need help? Hop on our Customer Service Portal.

If you’re aged 21 and over, you can rent a car in Mexico. Take into account that most rental companies will charge an additional fee if you’re a young driver, which is meant to cover the higher damage risk involved. Also, young drivers are generally restricted from renting larger vehicles and luxury cars. Check the fine print before you book to avoid any problems when you collect the keys.

Most rental companies will need these two things — a valid driver’s license and credit card. If you decide to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage will also likely be needed. Read through your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to pick up your ride.
