Top tips for renting a car in Oaxaca

  • Car rentals in Oaxaca allow visitors to access some of the areas that are inaccessible using public buses and taxis. Oaxaca has one of the most rugged terrains in Mexico, having mountain ranges that abruptly fall into the sea. Narrow valleys, ravines, and canyons are commonly found between these mountains. Therefore, consider renting a four-wheel drive with high ground clearance for you to be able to navigate these rugged terrains conveniently. Intermediate SUV is one of the car types that is ideal for this kind of terrain.
  • If you are using Oaxaca car rentals with your kids, remember that Mexico, as a rule, requires the use of booster seats for all children between 4 and 8 years. Therefore, during the process of picking up or reserving a car from your preferred car agency, ensure you request the booster seat. All car rentals in Oaxaca avail of child seats, infant seats, and booster seats across all its pickup locations. However, those who request these seats have to pay a daily fee for the same.
