How to Drop Off a Rental Car at a Different Location Without Paying Extra

Have you ever wanted to rent a car at the airport and return the vehicle at a downtown location? Flexibility when traveling is what allows us to explore at our own pace, without being tied to fixed schedules. However, the option to drop off a rental car at a different location often comes subject to a charge known as a one-way fee.

At MEX, we strive to offer mobility solutions that provide you with maximum convenience and help you avoid unnecessary additional costs. That's why we’ve enabled free drop-off zones between our branches, so you only have to worry about enjoying your destination. With us, renting a car and dropping it off somewhere else within the same zone is synonymous with freedom and practicality.

Forget the One-Way Fee

Generally, the one-way fee is applied because the rental service company has to move the car back to its original location. At MEX, we have optimized our logistics so that when you return the car to any location within the same designated zone, you won't have to pay this fee.

This benefit is ideal for those traveling to large cities or destinations with multiple points of interest, as it allows you to pick up the vehicle in one place and return the car at the most convenient point for your itinerary. This translates into time savings and greater flexibility.

Tips to Take Advantage of Your Free Drop-Off

To make this experience as seamless as possible, here are a few tips:

• Book in Advance: When making your reservation, be sure to select both the pick-up location and the drop-off location within the same zone so the system automatically applies the free drop-off.
• Documents Ready: Always remember to bring your valid driver's license, official ID, and a credit card in the main driver's name.
• Check the Terms and Conditions: Even though the drop-off is free within the zone, it's important to review the Terms and Conditions to know all the details of your contract and the car return process.
