When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Mexico vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Mexico are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Tampico, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
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.
Drivers never use light signals on roads, the only exceptions are situations when one of the levers is touched accidentally. If a car that moves in front of your car has turned on a left turn signal, it means that it gives way to cars following it.
Despite the fact that traffic on local roads is very chaotic and busy, drivers are distinguished by poised and calm temperament. They will always wait for a slow driver to finish his maneuver and will even politely give way to a car that is about to turn on a busy road.
