KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cabo San Lucas

  • A hire car is by far the best option to explore not only Cabo San Lucas, but also its surrounding area, with its secluded beaches and nearby towns that are well worth a day trip. The whole Tourist Corridor connecting San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas features a vast array of gorgeous beaches, so drive along the 20-mile stretch and make scenic stops as you please with your hire car.
  • All the major car hire companies, including Avis and Alamo, can be found at San Jose Del Cabo International Airport (SJD), which is about a 40-minute drive from Cabo San Lucas. Most car hire desks can be found in the Arrivals Hall area after going through baggage claim and customs, but some will have off-site offices, in which case they’ll provide a shuttle. You’ll need an International Driver’s Permit, as well as Mexican car insurance for the length of your hire contract.
  • Navigating Cabo San Lucas is fairly easy, but remember most traffic signs will be in Spanish only. The city is very popular during spring break and school vacations, which means the roads will be more crowded during those seasons. There are also several speed bumps across town. Most highways in Mexico are tolled, including the one that goes to the airport, so make sure you always have Mexican pesos or American dollars in cash with you.
  • Bumper-to-bumper traffic does happen sometimes in the Los Cabos area, especially during the summer and spring break seasons. Traffic jams in the surrounding Cabo San Lucas roads are also common, so avoid driving into town during the morning rush hour (between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.) or out of town, particularly on weekends, after 5 p.m. If you’re heading to the airport during these times, plan your journey in advance.
  • 25% of our users found a car hire in Cabo San Lucas for £14 or less
  • Book your car hire in Cabo San Lucas at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about car hire in Cabo San Lucas

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Cabo San Lucas?

    For travelers who don’t require much passenger or luggage space, a small, compact car will be enough to drive to the beach and easily park downtown. A convertible is a fun option for when the weather allows you to drive with the top down, and a minivan is recommended if traveling with the whole family.

  • What’s the speed limit in Cabo San Lucas?

    The speed limit in urban areas is usually 60 km/h (37 mph), but it may be lower in certain residential areas, so watch out for the posted signs.

The price was completely off.. I booked in Canadian dollars, ended up in USD. Price ended up more than double what was originally anticipated, no option to pre pay, forced to purchase insurance on vehicle when I have insurance coverage through my credit card provider. Also when trying to contact Avis at the designated area, no answer for 30mins, needed to get the hotel desk clerk to contact several locations to find the right person to bring the vehicle to the meeting spot. Zero mention of filling petrol, charged us extra on top after. Horrible experience on all fronts.

Pros:

Easy to find the downtown Cabo office and I preferred it this way, having rented from the airport prior - saved a few days of the car sitting at the resort when we didn't need it. Check it was straightforward. Nice VW Jetta.

Cons:

Not much. They're good. Waited a few minutes for the car, but no complaints. Easy, cost effective. See you next time.

Awful. Forced to purchase Mexican insurance which pushed the cost to almost 4 times of what was confirmed when I booked. Complete false advertisement. Car battery died and left us stranded. No wiper fluid and no tools to change a tire. Left feeling ripped off. Avoid all car rentals during high season in your travels to MX if you can. This insurance scam stuff is a pervasive issue.

Renting a car in Mexico is a rip off. Once you think you have secured a rental fee you get hit with not only one type of insurance coverage BUT 3. So your rental ends up being very expensive. If you have a credit card that can cover your basic needs, IT IS NOT ENOUGH to satisfy the do call coverage. In addition, they send you a letter telling you that because of high demand your vehicle is not available, BUT they a wonderful upgrade for 3 or 4 times as expensive. We ended up renting from a different vendor, and ended up being less expensive and my credit card satisfied the basic coverage. However, we had to sign o declination on all other additional BS.
