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
Many roads in the territory of cities are distinguished by the huge number of speed limiters (“speed bumps”), some of which are official, and some of which are self-established by locals.
In large cities of the country there are heavy traffic jams on main roads almost every day. The two-wheeled transport makes the situation even more complicated. Drivers of motorcycles and mopeds ride at a very high speed and overcome areas with slow traffic by weaving between cars.
Taking into consideration the abovementioned peculiarities of local roads, drivers should always have a little more fuel in the tank than needed for the planned trip. Foreign travellers should also take into account the fact that many local petrol stations may simply not have petrol, so fill up the tank on the first petrol station on the road is not always possible.
