 Renting a car in Mexico is a fairly straight forward procedure provided you carry a credit card, are over 25 years old and possess a valid driver's license. If you can comply with all three points then it's just a case of choosing the type of car you want according to your budget and needs.
Mexico recognizes driver's licenses from all over the world, so you don't have to worry about obtaining an international driver's license. In terms of rates, Mexico ranks as one of the more expensive countries to hire a car especially when compared to prices in the United States or Western Europe. Rates will vary according to region and most times they won't include VAT, which is 15 percent. They can also fluctuate due to holiday seasons. Common sense points like checking your car is fully insured and finding out how much damage premiums are levied by the rental company should be taken into consideration. It's also wise to inspect your car carefully at the time of renting it, and it wouldn't hurt to make a check list. Any damage however insignificant should always be documented. Also, be aware that Mexico is notorious for levying high drop-off charges in case you're unable to return the car to where you originally rented it from. This is usually between 20 to 40 percent of the actual price of renting the car, so it's best to carefully plan your trip ahead of time if you want to avoid paying additional costs.

| | Travel Review: The State of Guerrero
The landscape along the "Highway of the Sun," that places Mexico City within a scant three hours of Acapulco, is especially dazzling after the Querendes tunnel, with its palmetto forest, organ and candlestick cactus canefields - often tipped with frail, heather-like flowers - stretching into the distance, wide riverbeds and mesquite-covered red rock hills. We are entering the "Hot Country," where the sun like a hammer on the devil's anvil is king.
