Driving Tips for Mexico

Driving in a foreign country is a good way to add flexibility to your journey. Our driving tips will keep you safe on the road:

Speed Limits: Expect speed limits of 40 kph (25 mph) in city areas, and up to 110 kph (68 mph) on highways.
Flashing Headlights: If an oncoming vehicle flashes its headlights, this means there's a hazardous road condition ahead.
Narrow Roads: If the road cannot fit two cars, sometimes one vehicle will pull over and turn its headlights off. This signals that the other vehicle can pass.
Rural Driving: Look out for animals and uneven parts of the road when driving in the countryside.
Speed Bumps: You will find speed bumps when approaching towns or areas with lots of people.
Left Turn Signal: Drivers switch on the left turn signal for many reasons, including turning, wanting you to pass, or simply forgetting to turn it off.

Super nice and chill front desk and drivers for the shuttles. Took me less than 10 minutes to finish all paperwork needed and I was out. Made my first time visiting Mexico a blast, and for the insurance needed, just get the super insurance they have, you won't have any headaches about any accidents happening. I'll definitely rent again from them
