Upon landing at Los Cabos International Airport, you'll find several car hire options available. Opting for a compact or economy car is a great choice if you plan to stay within the city. However, if your adventure leads you to the various rugged landscapes around the city, an SUV might be more suitable. Remember, the majority of cars are manual, not automatic.
Parking and Traffic
Parking in San Jose del Cabo is quite easy, with abundant on-street parking and several off-street car parks. Traffic can be busy, particularly during rush hour, but not overly congested. Be sure to familiarise yourself with local traffic rules. For example, at junctions, the right of way isn't always given to the vehicle on the right.
Exploring the City and Beyond
From the historic downtown to the beautiful beaches, there’s much to discover in San Jose del Cabo. Visit the old mission church, dine in charming restaurants, shop in local markets, or get active with water sports. After exploring the city, a drive along the 'Corridor', a 20-mile stretch connecting San Jose to Cabo San Lucas is highly recommended. You'll be rewarded with stunning ocean views and secluded beaches.
Money Matters
Remember, you're now dealing with Mexican Pesos, not pounds. ATMs are widely available, but it's worth having some cash on hand for smaller transactions, particularly when buying from local vendors.
Local tips
Sunscreen is a must! Also, although English is widely spoken in tourist areas, learning a few basic Spanish phrases can go a long way in enhancing your holiday experience.
Enjoy every bit of your journey in San Jose del Cabo – a place full of warmth, beauty and adventure. Don't miss this unique holiday experience, get ready to drive, explore and discover!
