El Arenal rules state drivers must be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and tighter home conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee in addition to the usual car rental rate. This helps cover the higher risk of accident or damage. While many car categories (like compact and mid-size) are available to young drivers, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.

Any home company you select will require two things — your driver’s license and a credit card in your name. If you decide to opt out of the provider’s insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it’s time to collect your car.

Cars drive on the right and pass on the left in Mexico — the same as in the States. Motoring around El Arenal won’t be exactly like home, though. We recommend brushing up on the local road rules.
