KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Mazatlán

  • Car rentals in Mazatlan will make it possible for you to explore so much amazing Mexican culture. You can drive along highway 150 exploring the colorful shores of the west coast of Mexico. You can drive into the mountains or explore the mangrove jungles. Mazatlan car rentals will put you in charge of your Mexican adventure. And if you are on a family vacation, car rentals in Mazatlan make the most sense for getting the whole kit and kaboodle from one exciting Mexican locale to the next.
  • When connecting to several areas in the city, cheap car rentals in Mazatlán offer a more flexible and cost-effective transport option You must be at least 25 years old in order to rent a car from one of the Mazatlán car rentals. To rent with a capacity of no more than 5 people, the majority of rental car agencies will, however, accept customers who are at least 21 years old. However, tenants under the age of 25 are subject to an underage fee. One of the required documents is that you have a valid driver's license in your name. Additionally, you must have a major credit card or debit card when picking up the car from any of the car rental locations.
  • If you are flying into Mexico and looking into car rentals in Mazatlan, you should plan to fly into the Mazatlan Airport, located just 15 minutes southeast of central Mazatlan. This airport has Budget, Hertz, and Europcar car rental agencies on site. Once you have your rental car, take the 17 north to the 15 north, which will take you right into Mazatlan.
  • You must abide by the strict Mexican child seat laws when you and your kid(s) are driving in your rented car in Mazatlán. These rules require you to put your child in a rear-facing seat if they are under 2 years old. Any youngster under the age of 5 or shorter than 4'9" must always travel in a suitable child restraint system. Depending on the child's age and height, this system may be a booster seat, a child car seat, or an infant-only seat. You can easily obtain an appropriate kid restraint system with any of the cheap car rentals in Mazatlán for a tiny daily additional cost.
  • When driving car rentals in Mazatlan, you'll find that many major roads are much narrower than the roads in the United States, so beware of the shoulder and drive carefully when another car approaches from the opposite direction. Also, many roads in Mazatlan have potholes that you will want to avoid in your Mazatlan car rentals. And when you are driving car rentals in Mazatlan, keep an eye out for signs that read “Topes,” which means, “Speedbumps.” Often, you might find that a car will stop or slow down suddenly right in front of you, and that is usually because you have come to a speed bump. When you see the Topes sign, be prepared to stop or slow down as you approach. Pedestrians in Mazatlan often ignore traffic lights, so when you are approaching a light, be very cautious of people at the intersection. Assume someone is going to step out into the street and be prepared to stop. If you are driving on rural roads at night, beware of cattle wandering into the road from fields that are not fenced in.
  • The majority of the roads in Mazatlán are wide and in good condition, with the majority of the drivers being attentive to traffic laws. This making driving there generally interesting. However, some of the city's complex intersection, particularly the busiest intersection of Highway 15 and Highway 40, may present minor difficulties for new drivers. However, you can ask to have a GPS module placed in your car when you pick it up from your preferred Mazatlán car rental outlet. You'll be able to drive around the city with confidence like a local thanks to this.
  • For anyone  driving car rentals in Mazatlan, there are a few things you need to be aware of. First, you must get Mexican insurance for your Mazatlan car rental. No American insurance is valid in Mexico. Something else you need to be aware of when driving car rentals in Mazatlan is that many Mexican super highways are toll roads. Tolls in Mexico tend to be much more expensive than tolls in the United States. So, if you're going to be driving on a super highway, make sure you are prepared to pay steep tolls.
  • Book your car hire in Mazatlán at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy car hire in Mazatlán are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pros:

The car was fine and the service was great.

Cons:

Not National's fault, but the insurance cost more than the car so the overall cost was much more than same deal in the US. I knew this going in, but if I hadn't done the research, I would have been outraged.

Pros:

I liked the prices quoted on the intenet when reserving the car.

Cons:

They tried to force me into insurance at 5 times the rental car rate eventhough I explained my credit card covers the insurance. Then they didn't have the car I reserved, so instead of upgrading me for free, they downgraded it and would not lower the price. When they realized I was not going to take the outrageous insurance, they tried to get me to cancel. When I returned the car, they tried again to get more money saying I didn't return it with enough gas. More issues but.... Avoid if you do not want to begin and end vacation with hassles. ..
