Common questions on rental process
If a car is parked in the wrong place, it is very likely that the car will be towed to penalty parking. In order to pick up the car from that parking, a driver will have to pay a pretty big fine. Motorists, who find themselves in this situation, may need the services of LOCATEL. This organization will help to determine, to what penalty parking the car was sent.
The procedure for obtaining a driving license is quite simple in Mexico. This explains a large number of cars on the roads. Moreover, local drivers do not need to register a vehicle and pass maintenance checkup.
On loaded highways, local drivers rarely pay attention to road markings and can make quite dangerous maneuvers. Taxi drivers and drivers of buses, loaded with passengers, are especially dangerous.
