Car Rental Guide

Car Rental Companies

Several international car rental companies are located within the airport, including Hertz, Avis, and Budget. Also, local brands offer competitive rates and personalised customer service.

Driving in Mexico

Driving in Mexico varies drastically from it does back in the UK. Here's what you need to know:

  • Road traffic is right-hand drive. Adjusting might take a while, but it's part of the adventure. Remember, the driver sits near the centre line of the road.
  • Speed limits are in kilometres per hour, not miles! The typical speed limit in urban areas is 40 km/h, while major highways may allow up to 120 km/h.

Vehicles

Compact cars are excellent for city exploring while you might prefer SUVs for mountainous terrains. Travelling in a group or with family? Spacious minivans are just a booking away.

Getting Around

The most direct route to the city centre takes approximately half an hour by car. Taxis and app-based services like Uber are available, but nothing beats the convenience of your rental car.

Leisurely Drives and Nearby Attractions

The coastline of Manzanillo and the cultural hotspot of Tequila would certainly make great day trips. And getting there is half the fun when a comfortable ride is at your disposal.

Tips for UK Travellers

Currency

Mexico’s official currency is the Mexican Peso (MXN). While some places may accept US Dollars, it's advisable to exchange your currency for a hassle-free experience.

Climate

The tropical climate in Guadalajara is a delightful change from the UK. With mild winters and warm summers, your backpack might be lighter than usual.

Electricity

People from the UK, remember to pack a power plug adapter as Mexico uses Type A and B outfits (2 pins) contrary to the UK's Type G (3 pins) outlets.
