There's lots on offer in Mexicali, but head farther afield and you'll find more sightseeing magic. Grab a set of wheels and you can explore the surrounding area at your own pace. Add these awesome destinations to your to-do list:

  • Tijuana is 95 miles from Mexicali. Top-rated sights like Club Campestre Golf Course deserve to be high on your must-see list here.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Mexicali with Expedia?
Pick up the best deal with Expedia. All you have to do is choose your preferred ride, select your dates and pickup and drop-off points, and browse offers from big-name suppliers. Make even bigger savings when you bundle your Mexicali car rental with hotel or flight bookings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in Mexicali?
Rental car rules in Mexicali require drivers to be at least 21. Are you a younger driver? Surcharges and restrictions could apply. Many rental suppliers impose what's known as a young driver surcharge, which is an extra fee to the cost of the rental car. Restrictions often apply to the classes of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may differ between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in Mexicali?
Be prepared to present your driver's license and a credit card in your name when you get to the rental counter. Before pickup, check with your rental provider whether anything else is needed. For example, you may also need to show proof of insurance.
What side of the road do you drive on in Mexicali?
Like the States, you'll need to drive on the right in Mexico. However, that doesn't mean the road rules are the same as at home. Be sure to brush up on the traffic laws before you hit the road in Mexicali.
What is the cheapest car rental in Mexicali?
The two cheapest daily rates recorded in Mexicali within the past seven days were $12 and $13. Now that's what we'd call a bargain! 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 Mexicali?
Whether you have plans to stop in Mexicali or journey beyond, it's easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip dates and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find excellent long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Mexicali car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Mexicali rental providers you're interested in. If you're under 25 years of age, some will charge extra costs. It's ideal to know this before collecting the vehicle so you can plan your budget accordingly. Every rental car company has its own rules for younger drivers, so do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Mexicali?
We recommend adding collision protection while booking your Mexicali car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle against accident damage, theft and vandalism throughout your vacation. Offering up to $35,000 in primary coverage and round-the-clock emergency help, you can take the wheel knowing you'll be covered if the unexpected occurs. It's easy to opt in to this insurance during the checkout process.
Can I drive in Mexicali with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Mexico, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, make sure the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle 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 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 the types of vehicles you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before driving away. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or on off-road areas with a rental car.
