Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in El Arenal?
Within the past seven days, the lowest daily price for a cheap car rental in El Arenal was $1.
Can I rent a car from Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla Intl. Airport (GDL)?
Yes, and you won't be short on choice. After you touch down and collect your bags, head for the rental car center in Terminal 1 at the International and Domestic arrivals areas. Here you can arrange a booking with fantastic companies like OPTIMA, FOX and Alamo. If you want some more options, see what's on offer with Hertz and Sixt.
What happens if I need to cancel my El Arenal car reservation?
We all have times when plans get upended. That's why we offer a full refund on the majority of rentals if you notify us at least six hours in advance of picking up the car. Remember to double-check the rental policy — sometimes it's not offered. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
Where can I go on a road trip from El Arenal?
There's lots on offer in El Arenal, but venture farther afield and you'll find even more magic. Book a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding area at your leisure. Add these awesome drives to your list:

  • You'll find Malecon and countless other amazing attractions in Puerto Vallarta. From El Arenal, it's 100 miles away.
  • Your next stop? Aguascalientes, which is around 120 miles away. Victoria Stadium is one local highlight you shouldn't miss.
  • Barra de Navidad Beach is approximately 120 miles from El Arenal and is one of the region's most gorgeous nature spots. Pack a picnic lunch and enjoy the fresh air here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in El Arenal with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare rates, offers and providers, and to check customer reviews. Bundle your El Arenal car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in El Arenal?
El Arenal requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a car. However, young drivers will be subject to a surcharge and some restrictions on choice. Most suppliers impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the standard rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in El Arenal?
The main requirements are your driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your rental agency to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in El Arenal?
Visitors from the U.S. will feel quite comfortable navigating around El Arenal — motorists here drive on the right side.
What is the cheapest car rental in El Arenal?
Based on prices within the past seven days, you could've slid into the driver's seat of a rental car for just $1 a day. The second lowest daily rate on offer in El Arenal 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 El Arenal?
Click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then book your perfect ride. Whether you're staying put in El Arenal or venturing beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fantastic rate.
Where can I find an El Arenal car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found an El Arenal outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just bear in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in El Arenal?
We recommend adding collision protection while reserving your El Arenal car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against vandalism, theft and accident damage throughout your road trip. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and round-the-clock emergency help, you can get behind the wheel knowing you're covered for most mishaps. You can opt in to this plan while booking your rental car.
Can I drive in El Arenal with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Mexico, then you'll likely need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be able to rent a car. You should also note that if an IDP is required, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over in most places 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 the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. You typically can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
