Car rental in Monterrey

Monterrey, unlike some other parts of Mexico, has the financial and industrial clout, with a skyline that could give many a city in the USA a good run for their money.

• Driving Rules: The steering wheels are on the left side of the vehicle, opposite to the UK where they're on the right. Also remember, driving is on the right side of the road. Might sound a tad confusing, but you'll adjust!
• Speed Limit: Indicated in Kilometers Per Hour (KPH), not Miles per Hour (MPH) like in the UK.

Vibrant Neighbourhoods and Scenic Drives

Get ready to enjoy the colourful barrios of Barrio Antiguo, teeming with avant-garde art and gastronomy, or take a scenic drive to the ecotourism destination of Chipinque Park. The route to the park is particularly popular for both its view and winding mountain roads.

Your Mietwagen – The Perfect Car for Your Needs

Given the diverse terrains, from mountainous roads to city streets, we recommend a versatile mid-size Sedan or an SUV for a comfortable drive.

The Dos and Don'ts of Parking

• Do: Pay attention to parking signs, many zones in the city centre are 'Pay and Display'. Don't forget, parking is usually charged in Mexican Pesos (MXN).
• Don't: Avoid parking in prohibited areas; this could lead to either a fine or a towed vehicle.

Climate is the Name of the Game

Monterrey's climate, unlike the cool and misty weather back home in the UK, is typically hot and humid during most parts of the year. The average temperature is 24°C. So pack as per the climate and remember, sunscreen and hats are always a good idea!

What's On in Monterrey?

Seasonal events are a big part of Monterrey's charm. Ranging from the Easter Celebrations in spring to the 'In Monterrey' cultural festival in the fall, you're never short of things to do.

The Monterrey International Airport

Your journey begins at the Monterrey International Airport (MTY). It's the 4th busiest airport in Mexico and offers several car rental options right on the premises. Do remember to drive on the right once you get that car!

So there you have it, a brief guide to your Monterrey holiday. We wish you a wonderful, hassle-free and safe journey. See you in Monterrey!
