$24 Car Rental 12 de Octubre

12 de Octubre is full of surprises, but don't limit yourself to only one place. Organize a set of wheels and head off to see what's in the wider area. Here are a few ideas:

• Make tracks to Comitan de Dominguez for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Around 95 miles from 12 de Octubre, it has many great sights such as Tenam Puente Archaeological Zone.
• Next stop? La Trinitaria, which is around 80 miles away. Lagunas de Montebello National Park is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
• Get into the great outdoors and appreciate the serenity at Canon del Sumidero National Park. It's about 140 miles from 12 de Octubre.

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. Also consider that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that 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 need to be 25 or over in many 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 vehicles you can rent.
• Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with your rental car.
