Frequently Asked Questions about Car Rental in Mexico City

Prices can vary based on the company, the season, and the vehicle, but most locations offer discounts if you reserve a car prior to your arrival in Mexico City. The cheapest automatic cars cost from 14$ to 26$ per day. Larger cars can be more expensive due to their higher fuel consumption, so you may want to choose a smaller vehicle, which will also be advantageous on narrower roads.
There is always an increase in demand for car rentals in Mexico City during the summer months, which drives up the prices. During the off-season, particularly the winter, the prices are significantly lower. The duration of your rental also affects the total price. Typically, renting a vehicle for a longer period of time results in a lower daily rate, thus a five-day rental may cost only somewhat more than a three-day rental. If possible, consider spending at least a week exploring Mexico City.

General insurance categories in Mexico City:

  • Collision Damage Waiver (CDW) - It limits the customer's liability throughout the rental time and sets the maximum damage payment.
  • Theft Protection (TP): Reduces your obligation to the vehicle's deductible/excess if your car is stolen (proof required are a police report and the car keys).
  • Third Party Liability (TPL) covers material and intangible losses to other people's vehicles, property, and medical expenditures.

Traveling by car lets you explore at your own pace. It's nice to be able to avoid congested bus or rail schedules and travel early or late.

You can rent almost any kind of car in Mexico City, from small, cheap cars to high-end ones. Here are some things you might want to think about:

A size of the car: A bigger car may be more comfortable on the highway, but many beautiful villages in Mexico City have narrow streets. Parking garages are often small, and getting in and out of them can be a nightmare. Citroen C1 is the most well-liked model among economy classes in Mexico City. From EUROPCAR the daily rate for this vehicle begins at 15$. For those who want some extra comfort and have the appropriate budget, EAST COAST is ready to offer a Business-class model - BMW 7 Series, price starts at 51$ per day.
Most rental cars in Mexico City are manual, but more and more automatic cars are becoming available. Automatic cars usually cost more to rent, and if your license only lets you drive an automatic car, you won't be able to rent a stick shift car.

All car rental agencies allow booking the vehicle's main features but not a specific model. Because a specific model can break, be in an accident, be kept by the prior tenant, etc. Your voucher code sets the main parameters (e.g. CDAR). Code decoding:
