How Does the Different Drop-Off Location Service Work?

It’s simple: rent a car at one of our locations and return it to another within Mexico (except at Chihuahua Airport, for now). This service, known as "drop off" or "one way," gives you the flexibility to plan more dynamic travel routes.

This option has an associated cost that depends on the distance between the pickup and drop-off cities since it involves returning the vehicle to its original location. However, there are exceptions: in three metropolitan areas, no additional fee applies. These include:

1. Mexico City Metro Area: AICM, AIFA, Ángel de la Independencia, and Toluca Airport.
2. Guadalajara: Airport, Chapalita, Providencia, and Galerías.
3. Monterrey: Downtown and Airport.

Recommended Routes to Take Advantage of This Service 

The possibilities are endless, but here are some ideas to inspire you:

• Baja California Peninsula: Start in San José del Cabo, visit Cabo San Lucas, Todo Santos, and La Paz, and finish in Loreto. Drop off the car there and take a flight back home.
• Riviera Maya: Rent a car in Mérida, explore Chichen Itza, Cancun, Playa del Carmen, and finish in Chetumal—perfect for discovering the magic of southeastern Mexico!
• Short Trips: If you prefer a simpler route, drive from Cancun to Tulum and return the car at your final destination.

Additionally, with MEX Rent A Car, you get unlimited mileage and a wide selection of vehicles to fit your needs. Need an SUV for rough terrain or a sedan for city driving? The choice is yours.  

Requirements and Tips for a Smooth Experience  

To rent a car, you’ll need some basic documents: a valid driver’s license, an official ID, and a credit card to secure your reservation. Here are some additional tips:

1. Choose the right vehicle based on the terrain (SUV for rough roads, sedan for urban routes).
2. Book in advance to ensure availability and get the best rates.
3. Review the terms and conditions to avoid unnecessary charges.

Planning your trip well is key to making the most of this benefit. This way, you can focus on enjoying every mile stress-free.
