The most popular SUV models offered at rental locations in Oaxaca are: Nissan Pathfinder 4WD, Toyota Landcruiser, Chrysler Journey, Chevrolet Blazer, Daihatsu Terios, Ford Expedition 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 many cities police officers take bribes, and inexperienced motorists from other countries remain their main target. Police officers often deliberately exaggerate the amount of fines, relying on the ignorance of tourists. Such accidents are the most widespread in Acapulco.
If you see a police car riding behind you with flashing lights turned on, it should be considered as a demand to stop. Drivers should also keep in mind that stopping at the first convenient place is prohibited. An officer can issue an additional fine for that. It is better to get to the nearest bus draw-in and stop there.
Motorists should always have a sufficient amount of paper money and coins of small denominations as this way it will be easier to pay for parking and at petrol stations. When making a payment, be very careful and do not forget to ask a service worker to count money in your presence.
