KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Nuevo Vallarta

  • With plenty of beaches and parks to explore, Nuevo Vallarta, Nayarit, Mexico, is well worth visiting. Consider getting Nuevo Vallarta car rentals to experience the convenience of driving across the city and other nearby destinations to experience the diverse culture, shopping, and dining. While the city boasts great public transportation, buses ply specific routes. Therefore, you can do very little by relying on them. But with car rentals in Nuevo Vallarta, you can conveniently drive to Aquaventuras Park, Riviera Farmers Market, Nuevo Vallarta Beach, Dolphin Discovery Puerto Vallarta, Marine Nuevo Vallarta, and Playa Bucerias.
  • Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport (PVR) and Tepic Airport (TPQ) serve flights to Nuevo Vallarta, about 7.6 miles and 96.1 miles from the city center, respectively. Travelers landing at PVR can find car rental desks in the terminal building in the Arrivals area across from the baggage claim. If you opt to land at TPQ, the car rental counters are inside the terminal building near the baggage claim area. Getting car rentals in Nuevo Vallarta at the airport lets you commence exploring the city as soon as you land. You’ll find Mas by Mex, MEXRENTACAR, Dollar, National, Budget, and Avis at these airports.
  • As a small city in Mexico, finding narrow roads and tiny streets in Nuevo Vallarta is unsurprising. Nonetheless, driving in the city is manageable. However, you must pay attention to details. The city has several roundabouts. Drive carefully when approaching intersections and roundabouts. Allow adequate space when negotiating corners for clear vision. You will likely encounter jaywalking. Pay keen attention to pedestrians and motorbikes to keep them safe. Furthermore, remain sober since the city implements a zero-tolerance policy on drinking and driving.
  • Many cities in Mexico experience heavy traffic during rush hours, and Nuevo Vallarta is no exception. The traffic in the city is heavy because most residents access the city center with private vehicles. Besides, motorbikes are permitted to use the same lanes as vehicles, leading to them jockeying for position. Rush hours usually last for shorter durations, but the inconveniences are worth escaping. Typically, the city experiences heavy from around 7 am to 9 am and 6 pm to 8 pm. Also, be aware of traffic snarl-ups from 2 pm to 3 pm, as most parents pick up their kids from school.
  • Book your car hire in Nuevo Vallarta at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Intermediate hire cars in Nuevo Vallarta are around 89% cheaper than other car types, on average
