With everything to do and see in and around Mexico City, you'll be wanting to explore more than just the block your hotel is on while on your visit. Whether you are hoping to check out that latest chophouse across town or see some of the local hot spots, you'll need your own vehicle to explore as much as you can while on your vacation. No matter where you end up staying in Mexico City, if you want to get the most out of your visit, having access to your own vehicle is a must.
We work with the top dealers in the world. Dollar prides itself on exceptional customer service. Dollar's attention to customer service and fleet of quality rentals is complemented by their impressive business travel and vacation planning services.
We try to get you the best rates, whether you reserve your car. However, booking ahead of your visit can help you save even more. Make sure to go over the mileage policy and don't add an extra driver to avoid any surprise fees.
You'll need to present credit card, as well as your driver's license.
Most suppliers in Mexico City require that you at least be 21 years old to rent a car. Take time to read through Dollar's policies, as there may be added fees if you are under 25 or for higher category rentals in particular.
That depends on your needs and what you'll be doing when you visit Mexico City. Compact or economy automobiles are good for short drives and are easier to park. If you are traveling with a bigger group, then a sedan or SUV will have more room and offer a more comfortable ride on longer trips. Those looking for a bit of luxury on their Mexico City vacation can choose a higher-end model like a Mercedes C-Class or Audi A4 or similar.
You are required to have insurance before you rent in Mexico. You may also buy additional insurance through Dollar, if you know your insurance won't cover your rental during your trip. Although many of the major card issuers, like Visa or Discover, give some coverage, there are usually restrictions. For example, you may not be covered if you book a larger or luxury vehicle. Make sure to check credit card issuer's policy before you decide. Additionally, as a United States citizen, you can also add on Collision Damage Coverage with CarRentals.com at checkout.
Dollar does require a deposit when you reserve your rental. Dollar will block the deposit on your credit once you reserve your rental for your trip to Mexico City. Please note that the deposit will vary greatly depending on the model and make of the vehicle.
At CarRentals.com, we recommend a full to full policy. You pick up your Dollar rental with full tank, and you should bring it back it topped off. To avoid any added expenses, it is best to fill up your tank before you return the car to Dollar. Stations near or around airports or car rental places tend to have higher prices.
Mexico City certainly has its charms, but you may want to hit the road again after you've checked off all the activities here.
Dollar offers one-way rentals in most cases. You may find it easier to return your vehicle at another location. However, there is typically an additional charge when you pick one-way.
With so much to do and see in Mexico City, having access to your own auto lets you explore at your own pace. When you're ready to see more of Mexico, you can drive when you like, without having to coordinate ride-hailing services or hanging out a stop waiting for the bus.
Before you head out of town, book your Dollar Mexico City rental car and zip off to take in all the must-do activities at your own pace. Book with CarRentals.com and cruise the highway in Mexico City, Mexico.
