Get your luggage, walk out of Tijuana, Baja California Norte Airport (TIJ-General Abelardo L. Rodriguez Intl.), and collect your rental car. Which one you climb into depends on where you’re headed. If you’ll be spending most of your time driving in downtown Tijuana, around 4 miles from the terminal, consider something zippy. A compact car that’s easy to handle will be ideal for those busy streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the gorgeous sandy shores of the region, you may want to add some pit stops. A bigger vehicle, like an SUV or a full-size car, will make lengthier road trips a joy.
