Select cars
In big cities like Mexico City, Guadalajara or Monterrey there is street parking (metered in some areas) and private hourly lots; in historic centers and tourist areas it's best to use guarded parking. At beach destinations like Cancún or Tulum, hotels and beach clubs usually offer parking. As a rule, leave the car in well-lit places and never leave valuables in sight.

Tips for enjoying your trip
Car rental in Mexico: the complete guide (2026)
Renting a car in Mexico gives you the freedom to explore a huge, diverse country: from the beaches of the Riviera Maya to the colonial towns of the Bajío, from Mexico City to Oaxaca or the Pacific coast. With your own car you drive at your own pace and reach places public transport doesn't cover.
From MXN 500 per day (~USD 29): with TripWip you rent up to 40% cheaper than a traditional agency, directly from local hosts and with insurance included.
