Question 1

How much is a rental car per day in México?

Accepted Answer

Daily rental prices were as low as $5 within the past seven days. With rates like this, cruising around México in your own set of wheels is an affordable and convenient way to visit the sights.

Question 2

What happens if I need to cancel my México car reservation?

Accepted Answer

We've all been faced with times when plans get upended. That's why we give your money back on the majority of prepaid rentals if canceled six hours ahead of collecting the car. Be sure to double-check the rental policy — there are some instances where it's not offered. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.

Question 3

Where can I go on a road trip from México?

Accepted Answer

México has plenty to keep you busy, but don't restrict yourself to only one place. Rent some wheels and hit the road to discover what else awaits in the surrounding area. These are some great options:

Make tracks to Ensenada for a fantastic sightseeing experience. Approximately 50 miles from México, it has lots of inspiring attractions, including First Street.
Situated 95 miles away, Mexicali is also popular with wanderers. Make time to get to Plaza La Gran Via while you're in town. It's one of the reasons people love this colorful city.
Visit Malecón San Felipe to discover some local nature. Pack a picnic to enjoy or just relax and unwind. From México, it's around 170 miles away.

Question 4

How do I find the best car rental deals in México with Expedia?

Accepted Answer

Expedia makes it a breeze to compare fees, offers and providers, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your México car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll make even bigger savings.

Question 5

How old do you have to be to rent a car in México?

Accepted Answer

México requires drivers to be 21 and over to be able to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Many companies impose a young renter fee on top of the standard car rental rate. This helps cover 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.

Question 6

What do you need to rent a car in México?

Accepted Answer

Renting a car in México is easy. Usually, all you'll need is a current driver's license and a credit card. After selecting your perfect set of wheels, read the terms and conditions to ensure there are no further requirements prior to your scheduled pickup.

Question 7

What side of the road do you drive on in México?

Accepted Answer

Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Mexico — the same side as in the States. Road-tripping around México won't be exactly like home, though. You should familiarize yourself with the local traffic rules.

Question 8

What is the cheapest car rental in México?

Accepted Answer

Based on prices found over the past seven days, you could've slid into the driver's seat of your own rental car for just $5 a day. The second lowest daily rate on offer in México was $6. 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.

Question 9

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in México?

Accepted Answer

Whether you plan to stop in México or travel beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip information and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll help you find cheap long-term car rental deals.

Question 10

Where can I find a México car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

If you're a younger driver hoping to rent a vehicle in México, we recommend reading the terms and conditions of the rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be surcharges if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprises at the rental desk, make sure you know what those charges are if they apply to you.

Question 11

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in México?

Accepted Answer

For a secure, stress-free trip, add Expedia's collision protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your ride against theft, vandalism and collision damage. It also provides round-the-clock emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this plan while finalizing your México ride with Expedia and save money and time at the rental counter.

Question 12

Can I drive in México with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Mexico, then you'll likely need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be allowed to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll have 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 vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some other requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You need to be at least 25 in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, it might 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 available to rent.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive off the lot. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with your rental car.
