If you've spent any time in Mexico, you have probably fallen in love with the warm, sunny climate, welcoming communities, white sand beaches and vibrant nightlife.

Renting a car in Mexico is a fairly straight forward procedure provided you carry a credit card, are over 25 years old and possess a valid driver's license. If you can comply with all three points then it's just a case of choosing the type of car you want according to your budget and needs.
