KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Tampico

Tampico car rentals save time and eliminate the reliance on public transportation schedules. With a car, travelers can easily access attractions such as the beautiful Miramar Beach, the historic center of Tampico, and the nearby El Chairel Lagoon. Having a car allows you to venture further to destinations like Ciudad Madero and Altamira, which may be less accessible by other means of transport.

The rental car offices are located within the main terminal building, making it convenient for travelers to pick up their vehicles upon arrival.

It is advisable to check with the rental company for any available transportation options.
