  • Always check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Queretaro car hire policy, whether with America or another supplier. Some may charge separately for it instead of including it in the base rental.

  • Cut down on fuel costs by choosing a vehicle that offers a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car with a full tank and drop it off full, so you only pay for what you use.

Insurance and optional extras

Different Queretaro car hire providers have varying insurance policies and cover levels, so check the details before booking.

Good to know

  • Rental age requirements aren't always the same across the board. Providers can set their own policies, and if you're a younger driver, you might run into extra costs or rules. Check the rules for the supplier you choose before booking your car hire in Mexico.

  • Add a car seat to your Queretaro car hire booking if you're travelling with small kids. Requirements change from place to place, but using a child seat suited to their size and age is always the safest way to go.

  • You'll be asked to provide some documents when collecting your car. As a general rule, bring your physical driver's licence, a credit card with enough balance for the deposit (debit cards usually aren't accepted), and additional photo ID. Your booking confirmation will spell it all out.

  • Driving in Mexico can seem unfamiliar if it's your first time. Keep in mind you'll need to stay on the right side of the road.

  • Local speed limits are usually about 45kph through urban areas and around 100kph on highways. Always check the posted signs, as limits may vary.

  • In Mexico, the legal blood alcohol concentration (BAC) limit is 0.04%. If you expect to drink, get someone else to do the driving or arrange a ride-share or taxi instead.

  • One of the busiest times to be out on the roads in this destination is around 8am. Make driving smoother by avoiding rush hours in general.

  • You'll be using the Mexican peso (MXN) for day-to-day spending here. You may find it helpful to carry a mix of cash and cards so you're covered for every situation.
