  • Grab your wheels from Europcar, Hertz or Alamo. They're some of the most trusted providers in the city.

  • Whether you go with Europcar or a different supplier, be sure to check the coverage on your Loreto car hire. Some companies include a collision damage waiver (CDW), while others sell it as a separate extra.

  • Consider booking a one-way home. You might be able to score a good deal if the provider needs to shift vehicles between branches. Discover the best available rates by clicking 'Return car to a different location.'

  • Spend less on fuel by picking a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You collect the car with a full tank and refill it before drop-off, so you're only paying for what you use.

  • Want to explore without stressing about the number of miles you cover? Find homes with 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter and go as far as you like without the extra costs.

  • Medium: A reliable pick when you want something that has a few more features but is still easy to drive. This category includes compact and intermediate models that come with a little extra leg space compared to smaller cars.

  • Large: Offering a more comfortable ride and improved tech features, this Loreto car hire category includes full-size cars. With larger back seats and ample storage space, they let you load up and transport everyone, and everything, with ease.

Insurance and optional extras

  • Excess insurance covers your out-of-pocket costs if your Loreto car hire is stolen or damaged. While not mandatory, it's worth considering for extra protection. Keep in mind that policies differ from one provider to another, so make sure you know exactly what's included.

  • Take your ride to the next level with extras like a GPS unit and reverse camera. These add-ons can make your trip easier and more enjoyable when you rent a car in Loreto.

Good to know

  • Age requirements for homes vary by supplier (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some companies in Mexico may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age bracket, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • If the kids are coming with you, check if you need to add a child car seat to your Loreto car hire reservation. Whether local laws require them or not, they're always the safest way for youngsters to travel.

  • You'll be asked for some documents when you pick up your ride. As a rule, bring your physical driver's license, a credit card with enough funds to cover the excess (most companies don't accept debit cards), and additional photo ID. Your booking will confirm exactly what's required.

  • Driving in Mexico may feel unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind traffic flows on the right side of the road.

  • Follow the local speed limits. Most of the time that's around 45kph in urban areas and 100kph or so on highways, unless signed otherwise.

  • The blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit in Mexico is 0.04%. Because alcohol affects everyone differently, it's best to skip drinks entirely so you remain legal to drive.

  • Around 8am is one of the busiest times to be on the road in this destination. Try to avoid peak travel times generally for a more relaxed drive.

  • The Mexican peso (MXN) is the currency you'll be using for day-to-day expenses and activities. Pay by card when you can, but have some cash handy when electronic payments aren't available.
