 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: Monterrey
Actually another world, as different from the central plateau as it possibly can be, Monterrey is considerably more than business and industry, though its well-earned fame does seem to center on steel, cement, paper, beer, glass and banking.

Everyone in México City, especially those who drive south on the Periférico or look west from a tower in Lomas, is familiar with the silhouette - like a crooked bracket lain sideways - of the Ajusco.

Mayapan was considered the last Mayan capital, at least within Mexican territory. It was undoubtedly the final, urban center just before the Spanish conquest - what academics insist on calling, euphemistically at best, the "contact period."
| Travel Review: Beaches of Costa Alegre
Forty-five miles along the Mexican Pacific, framing broad bays or steeply pitched coves, are known as the Costa Alegre. Departing Manzanillo's "Playa de Oro" Airport and turning north, we are in the state of Colima until halfway across the Cihuatlan bridge. The other half, and the once earthquake-scarred town, hurtle us into the state of Jalisco.
| | Travel Review: The Archaeological Site of Cantona
Cantona is wonderfully situated on a fortified basalt bluff called the Cerro de las Aguilas, the Pizarro volcano and Cofre de Perote in the distance, there are three roads and a rail line into the precinct, but the most beguiling is a raised causeway over a shallow lagoon, between the Jalapa highway and the carefully cultivated fields on the agricultural flats that extend to the foot of the site.

Dazzling scenery, stirring history and its poignant remains make the Alto Mixteco and its various valleys a remarkable travel experience, either for a day trip or for more thorough perusal, making use of local "albergues."
