Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in Chapala?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price found for an affordable car rental in Chapala was $1.
Can I rent a car from Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla Intl. Airport (GDL)?
Yes, and you have plenty of choice. After you've disembarked and grabbed your bags, make your way to the rental car center in Terminal 1 at the International and Domestic arrivals areas. Here you can make a booking with reliable companies like OPTIMA, FOX and Alamo. If you're after more options, also check out Hertz and Sixt.
What happens if I need to cancel my Chapala car reservation?
Don't stress. You should be eligible for a full refund if you notify us a minimum of six hours before picking up the car. Your confirmation contains information about this, as does our Customer Service Portal. Not all bookings will receive a refund though, so it's a good idea to read through your car's rental agreement.
Where can I go on a road trip from Chapala?
There's lots on offer in Chapala, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Organize a set of wheels and you can explore the surrounding area at your leisure. Add these awesome drives to your to-do list:

  • You'll find Zocalo and loads of other interesting sights in Manzanillo. From Chapala, it's approximately 110 miles away.
  • Your next stop? Aguascalientes, which is around 120 miles away. Victoria Stadium is one local highlight you won't want to miss.
  • Spend time in the great outdoors and take in the serenity at Pena de Bernal. It's approximately 210 miles from Chapala.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Chapala with Expedia?
It's easy to find an amazing deal with Expedia. Simply choose your ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from all the major suppliers. Save even more when you combine your Chapala car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chapala?
Chapala requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra charge and some restrictions on choice. Most providers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of accident or damage. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Chapala?
While requirements can differ between car rental outlets, the essentials are a current driver's license and a credit card in the same name. You don't need to take out the company's insurance plan. However, proof of your own coverage may be required.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chapala?
Roughly two-thirds of countries across the world drive on the right-hand side, and Mexico is one of them. If you're planning to rent a vehicle in Chapala, keep to speed limits and drive to local conditions.
What is the cheapest car rental in Chapala?
The lowest rate for a car rental in Chapala within the past seven days was $1 per day. The next best deal was $2. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Chapala?
Whether you're planning to hang around Chapala or venture beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you amazing long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Chapala car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a little research. Found a Chapala outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific! Just bear in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in will have all the information you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Chapala?
For a stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision protection while reserving your rental car. This insurance covers your vehicle against collision damage, theft and vandalism. It also provides 24/7 emergency help in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Chapala vehicle with Expedia and save time and money at the rental counter.
Can I drive in Chapala with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Mexico, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, 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 what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with a rental car.
