Cardenas is big. You could chill out for a week or more in this place and hardly scratch the surface. If you’d like to experience as much as you can in this bustling metropolis, a rental car is a must. Keep in mind that driving in big cities usually goes hand in hand with tight streets and limited parking spots. But don’t stress — a compact or mini car will make this much easier to manage. If you can’t wait to leave the city behind and check out some of the coral reefs that Cardenas is well known for, you may prefer something with more power and room to move. A full-size or mid-size SUV is a good choice.

First of all, there’s a wide variety of both high-end and economy vehicles to rent in Cardenas. What you go for depends on your budget and what you’re hoping to do. Prestige vehicles are hard to beat if you’re all about comfort and class. If you feel like splashing out, why not pick a fully kitted-out SUV, or perhaps a slick mid-sized vehicle? Alternatively, if you just need something to whiz around town in as economically as possible, you’re better off choosing a no-frills compact vehicle (or something else that won’t burn a hole in your pocket).

The majority of the time, parking in the center of Cardenas is a cinch. You’ll have your choice of on and off-street parking. As with any city, you’ll need to comply with the parking rules. Make sure you pay any applicable fees and you adhere to any time restrictions.

As with many places, you can expect more traffic in the early and late rush hours. However, thanks to its smaller population of about 98,500, traffic gridlock isn’t much of an issue in Cardenas.

Generally, your rental car company will charge the fined amount to your credit card, including local surcharges and taxes. Alternatively, they may forward your contact details to local law enforcement agencies, who’ll then issue a fine straight to you.
