10 tips to save on your car rental in and around Mexico

  1. Use filters to find the right car: Refine your search by specifying vehicle type and features. Whether you require an SUV for additional space, a convertible for summer drives, or an economical car for budget-friendly travel, utilise filters on Expedia to discover the best option for your journey.
  2. Book in advance to help lower costs: Rental prices vary with demand, so it's advisable to secure your car well ahead of your trip. By booking early, you’re more likely to obtain lower rates and enjoy better availability, particularly during peak seasons.
  3. Consider a smaller car for savings: Compact cars are typically more affordable to rent and easier to manoeuvre in busy areas. Mid-size rentals strike a good balance between cost, comfort, and fuel efficiency.
  4. Age guidelines: Drivers under the age of 30 may encounter higher deposits or daily surcharges, and certain vehicle types—such as SUVs or premium models—might not be available. This can also apply to renters over the age of 70. Always verify the age requirements prior to booking.
  5. Check fuel policies: Some rental agreements require a full-to-full fuel policy, meaning you must return the vehicle with a full tank to avoid additional charges. This is generally the most advantageous option. Others may provide full-to-empty or prepaid fuel options, which are acceptable too. Just ensure you return the car empty in such cases.
  6. Save on city and airport pickups: Picking up your rental car at airports often incurs a surcharge, but it may be worthwhile for the added convenience.
  7. Know your payment options: Many car rental companies exclusively accept credit cards for payment.
  8. Understand your insurance coverage: Car rental insurance can help you avoid unnecessary expenses and provides peace of mind in case of unexpected events during your trip. Adding car rental insurance is straightforward when booking through Expedia.
  9. Consider unlimited mileage: If you’re planning extensive road trips, seek rentals that offer unlimited mileage to prevent incurring extra costs.
  10. Bring your driver's license and ID: A valid driver's license is essential for renting a car.

Rental policies for young drivers may include restrictions for certain vehicles, such as premium SUVs, and require the purchase of comprehensive insurance. It's always a good idea to check the fine print before booking your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Mexico?

Where can I find a Mexico car rental if I am younger than 25?
Some Mexico outlets will rent cars to drivers under 25 years old, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do some research. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some places will apply a surcharge to customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always check the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
Can I drive in Mexico with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in the United States, you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country before renting a car. If you find that an IDP is required, note that you'll also need to show your valid driver's license and your passport or other forms of ID. Lastly, the credit card that was used to rent the vehicle must match the name on your driver's license and passport in order to confirm your home. Additional requirements for car rentals in the U.S. Are:
  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in many states to rent a car, although in some places the minimum age is 21. We recommend checking state and local regulations, and with the car rental company before you go to understand all the regulations that may apply to you.
  • Driving limitations: Be sure to read the fine print before you leave the lot to avoid unnecessary fees. When renting a car in the U.S, you usually can't cross country borders into Canada or Mexico, use car ferries or go off-roading with your home vehicle. Please read the details before booking!
