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.
  • Intermediate hire cars in Nuevo Vallarta are around 91% cheaper than other car types, on average

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Nuevo Vallarta?

    Due to narrow roads and tiny streets, consider driving smaller car rentals in Nuevo Vallarta for navigation. A smaller car will help you beat traffic by maneuvering narrow busy streets which larger vehicles cannot pursue. As a solo traveler, a smaller car enables you to stick to your budget by consuming less gas and requires a smaller parking spot. However, be sure to consider the vehicle's safety features and suitability. If you plan to visit off-road destinations, look for a well-raised vehicle for navigation.

  • What is the speed limit in Nuevo Vallarta?

    Nuevo Vallarta traffic authorities are strict about speed limits. Therefore, follow all the speed limits while driving car rentals in Nuevo Vallarta. If not posted, the speed limit is 40 km/h (25 mph) on city roads and built-up areas near businesses, schools, and residences, 70 km/h (43 mph) on main roads, and 110 km/h (68 mph) on highways. Pay attention to the posted speed limits. Besides saving you from getting into trouble with the authorities, following the speed limits keeps you and other road users safe.

  • Where are the best places to park in Nuevo Vallarta?

    Finding a parking spot for your car rentals in Nuevo Vallarta can be challenging due to limited parking options. Consider booking a Nuevo Vallarta hotel with a parking lot to enjoy free parking on your vacation. Marival Distinct Luxury Residences & World Spa All Inclusive, Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta, Paradise Village, Hard Rock Hotel Vallarta & All Inclusive, Splash Inn Nuevo Vallarta & Parque Acuatico, and Marival Emotions Resort & Suites-All Inclusive all offer free parking. Parking meters and garages are available downtown, charging around MX$15 (about $0.90) per hour.
