Car Hire in Mexico

Mexico is a country adjacent to the U.S. but has a very rich Hispanic heritage. The people are very accommodating and the tourist spots are exceptional. Holidaying in Mexico can be a unique experience and is definitely one not to be missed.
Keep in mind that the speed limit in Mexico is only 80 kmph on most two-lane roads. Always be on the lookout for speed indicators so you’ll not be apprehended. Driving in Mexico can be dangerous because of poorly maintained or poorly lit roads so don’t over speed or drive after dark.

Wear your seatbelt all the time. Drivers and all passengers inside the car should be properly buckled up. Children should occupy the rear seat. Provide car safety seats for children below 4 years old.

Police officers can fine you on the spot so better stick to the rules. For minor violations, the attending officer could even ask you how much you are willing to pay. Usually, a $10 bill will do.

Gasoline stations are found on most highways. The government gasoline monopoly, Pemex, does not accept currencies other than the peso. They may not even honour credit cards so always have local money in your pockets for petrol. Unleaded and premium petrtol are both available and prices are generally the same throughout the country.

Mexico is a land rich in ancestral beauty and lavish coastline. Sightseeing is already a pleasure.

Summary:

• Seatbelts should always be worn
• Children should sit in the back
• Children under 4 should use a child seat
• For safety reasons, you should never drink and drive
