10 tips to save on your Zona Dorada car hire

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by selecting vehicle types and essential features. Whether you're looking for an SUV for extra space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economy car for budget-friendly travel, utilize filters on Expedia to discover the perfect option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental rates can vary with demand, so it's wise to reserve your vehicle well ahead of your trip. By booking in advance, you are more likely to secure lower prices and enjoy a wider selection, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically less expensive to rent and easier to maneuver in crowded areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between affordability, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily fees, and certain vehicle categories—such as SUVs or luxury models—might not be available. This also applies to renters over 70. Always verify the age restrictions before finalizing your booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the car with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is often the most cost-effective choice. Others might offer full-to-empty or prepaid fueling options, which are acceptable as well—just remember to return the car with an empty tank in that case.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but the convenience might be worth the extra cost.
  7. Know your payment options: Most car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unexpected expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unforeseen events during your trip. It's simple to add rental insurance when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you plan on taking long road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent extra charges.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is mandatory to rent a vehicle.

Can I drive in Zona Dorada with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Mexico, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be at least 25 in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
