Ensenada is known for its various and breathtaking marine life. Since it is likely that at some point you will want to go snorkeling, scuba diving, or fishing, a car with a hatchback or a large trunk, or even an SUV, is a good choice because you can travel around with outdoor recreational equipment. Because gas stations on the Baja peninsula are not as common or frequent as gas stations in America, you should rent a car that has a large gas tank and gets good gas mileage so that you can decrease the chances of ending up stranded because your car has run out of gas.

When you are driving around Ensenada, keep in mind that the posted speed limits will be in kilometers per hour as opposed to miles per hour. When you see the speed number posted, your instinct might be to go in miles per hour, but you should go slower than you feel like going so that you end up going kilometers per hour. If the speed limit is not posted on a beltway or a freeway, it is 80 km/h (50 mph). In parking lots and residential areas, it is 10 km/h (6 mph). On city streets, it is 60 km/h (37 mph).

For those driving car rentals in Ensenada, parking on the street tends to be both safe and free. Certain places downtown, especially near the marina, have parking garages where you have to pay. The price to park for the day can range from about MX$50 to MX$100 ($3 to $6). Generally, motels and other accommodations have their own free parking.
