KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Loreto

  • You can’t go wrong with car hire in Loreto, Mexico. You will gain the flexibility and convenience not possible with public transportation, which typically operates on schedules and is noisy and crowdy. Public transportation may take a while to take you to your destination. Some scenic destinations include Mulege, San Javier, Nopolo Beach, Isla Coronado and Bahia Concepcion. If you want to experience the city’s marine life, you can explore Loreto Bay National Marine Park. Overall, if you plan an extended stay in Loreto, there is no better way to explore its beauty and nearby destinations than Loreto car hire.
  • Booking car hire in Loreto at the airport lets you start exploring the town as soon as you land. Loreto is served by Loreto International Airport (LTO), about 6.6 km (4.1 miles) from the city centre. If you fly into the city, you will land here. With numerous local and international car hire companies at the airport, getting your car should be manageable. The car hire desks are at the airport terminal in the Arrivals hall. The popular agencies include Mexrentcar, Ace, Thrifty, Dollar, Alamo and Hertz.
  • As a small city in Baja California Sur, Mexico, finding one-way streets and narrow roads in Loreto is unsurprising. Nonetheless, using car hire in Loreto is still manageable. It is critical to consider other road users. Be mindful of commuter bus drivers, as they often stop abruptly in the middle of the road when they sight a potential passenger. Also, encountering jaywalkers on the city streets is common, since pedestrians often ignore crossings. Pay attention to avoid hitting them.
  • Significant cities in Baja California Sur, Mexico, experience dense traffic during rush hours and Loreto is no exception. The city experiences dense traffic during rush hours because there is only one highway accessing the city centre. It is typically occasioned by motorbikes and vehicles jockeying for position. Usually, the city experiences rush hours from 06:00 to 09:00 and from 16:00 to 20:00. Plan your route well to avoid road congestion.
  • Book your car hire in Loreto at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Loreto are around 11% cheaper than other car types, on average

Make your booking but ask when they will be there for dropoff at Loreto airport, they won't charge you if it's later but no fun hanging around if no one can receive the car. Or check flight arrivals because that's when they show up. Insurance is NOT required as the basic insurance required by the Mexican government (rdw) is included in your rental. I opted for total coverage in case of damage to the windscreen/tires from the rough roads.
ChrisApr 2024
ABout the easiest place to rent I have ever done. Rent at the airport and not in town if you want the car for the full trip.

Liked getting a relatively new car. Had to wait VERY long time in line at pickup. Only one agent, and a very slow process for completing the paperwork. Also there was no staff at the airport until about 45 minutes before my flight boarded. Need to have staff there a couple hours before departure. And PLEASE do something to bring the insurance cost down! If insurance stays this high, we will take taxis instead of renting b

Price of insurance was very suspicious. I was initially quoted an unreasonable amount I couldn't afford ($1062), and then the priced dropped substantially (to $697, which is still much more than anticipated) when it became apparent that I was going to be forced to cancel the rental. Additionally, there was nobody at the rental counter when I showed up at the time indicated on my reservation, so I had to wait for roughly 30 minutes before the lengthy check out process even began. It would behoove Hertz to have pre-established insurance prices, regardless of the foreign destination to avoid local price gouging.

Car had plenty of trunk space but car itself was smaller than expected, tiny wheels which was a challenge with speed bumps in the area. Paid more than quoted due to conversion from MXD to USD. Almost wish quote was in MXD. Time at the counter to complete rental was longer than most places.

I always expect the actual costs of renting a car to be more, regardless it would be great to have up front pricing. It saves the customer from questioning if they paid too much.

The Kayak quote was $178, but when I went to pick up the car it was $528. And they put a $1,000 hold on my credit card while I had the car. When I got to the airport at noon on Saturday to return the car, there wasn’t any Europcar employees at the airport to process the return. They were all at a different Europcar location and I waited 35 minutes for drive to get to the airport to check me in. If I had gotten to the airport any later I would have missed my flight due to the rental car return process.

Despite having a reservation, they didn't have a car for us. We went to another location and waited over 30 minutes but no workers came there. We don't recommend EuropCar unless you are certain they have a car for you - don't trust an online reservation .

I was surprised at the amount of required Mexican insurance that wasn't included in the price of the car when I made the reservation on line. When I picked up the car, they said it was a third-party transaction and that's why the costs were different. Live and learn!!

Easy process, good car. 2 items - there was some upfront expenses (deposit) that was not clearly covered in the websight when I booked. The second issue was the car was in need of oil service and had warning lights on when I picked it up. This was not big deal, I checked oil level and the car was actually fine.

Insurance costs should be presented honestly, up-front at time of on-line rental booking. Kayak confirmed price of $10/day for the rental car and mentioned no additional fees for taxes or insurance. Once we arrived to the rental car counter we were told the insurance costs were an added $50/day (Five times the cost of the rental agreement price). Bait and switch! Kayak must do their homework on this false advertising.

Great service from Alamo, Mexico in both Loreto collecting car and La Paz where I returned it. Rental was a large SUV (VW Touran) in good condition and comfortable for 4 adults and luggage. English speaking representatives. Very polite and helpful. Explained everything about the rental including insurance and charges fully. My only suggestion for improvement would be to do "Full to Full" on fuel rather than picking it up with 3/4 of a tank and trying to return with same. But that aside, I'd recommend and use them again.

I'm not sure this place or this company exists. I called several numbers in an effort to confirm our reservation: all the numbers provided by Kayak, all the numbers on the Firefly website, and the resort where this location allegedly was located. They were either wrong numbers, didn't go through, or no one had heard of the place. I ended up canceling 2 days before pick up.

A cost of $350 turned in to over $1000 with all the fees and insurance added. The cost on Kayak is not representative at all of what you will pay. And all these charges hit you when you go to get your car, so you have no option but to pay the fees if you need a car
