The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Acapulco are: Toyota Rav4, Hyundai Santa Fe, Chevrolet Blazer, Daihatsu Terios, Ford Escape, Jeep Cherokee and others.
While selecting your preferred model of an off-road vehicle, please examine the rental conditions. In particular, those requirements that concern credit cards – when it comes to renting an expensive car, sometimes offices in Mexico ask information about two credit cards.
Before signing the contract in the rental office upon arrival, check that the invoice figures match with figures in your voucher.
Once the vehicle is assigned, inspect it carefully before leaving the parking. Crossovers and SUVs are often used in tough road conditions, therefore scratches and other exteriour defects are inevitable. Due to this, it is important to check and specify all existing defects in your rental documents.
If you plan to use an off-road vehicle in the mountains, it is recommended to order snow chains. This will save you from unexpected incidents. Other important equipment in Mexico are mandatory child seats for travellers with children.

Common questions on rental process
In most cases, police officers offer to pay the fine right “on the spot”. If a driver is sure that he did not break any rules, it is necessary to insist that the payment is to be made through the bank. There is a chance that in this case the policeman will either reduce the amount of the fine or let the driver go, making only a warning.
In no case should policemen be treated in a rude manner. Do not threaten the police or raise your voice. As confirmed by experienced motorists, in Mexico a friendly chat and a kind smile are the main guarantee of successful communication with the law.
Driving in a drunken state is a serious violation. The maximum permissible level of alcohol in blood is 0.8 ppm. The violation of this rule will result in a large fine and suspension of the driving license. The refusal to take the breath test will result in the same punishment.
