Important information about Guadalajara car rentals

Guadalajara is the second largest city in Mexico known for its tequila, mariachi and history. Car rentals in Guadalajara, Mexico are the best way to get from the city to all the beautiful sights near it. The town of Tequila is about an hour away from Guadalajara. It’s been named a UNESCO World Heritage Site and it’s known for producing tequila due to all the agave plants surrounding it. When downtown, you can leave your Guadalajara car rental parked in a parking lot and explore on foot. Finding a cheap car rental in Guadalajara is feasible, and probably easier if you book it directly at the airport. There are about 40 car rental locations in Guadalajara to choose from. The drive in to town from the main international airport is about a half an hour away on highway 44, one of the main highways entering the city.

Is it worthwhile to rent a car in Guadalajara?

When seeing downtown Guadalajara you can get around on foot, and the center is walkable, but you’ll need to get one of the car rentals in Guadalajara to visit all there is to see. Your trip with car rentals in Guadalajara wouldn’t be complete without seeing the smaller colonial city, Tlaquepaque, on your way to the largest lake in Mexico, Lake Chapala. Rental cars in Guadalajara will get you there in under an hour. Another top destination from the city is the colonial city of Tepatitlán, known as the Highlands of Jalisco. If you happen to be visiting during the last two weeks of April you’ll get to witness the town festivities. A lot of hotels in the downtown area have parking lots to leave a car rental; if not, your best bet will probably be leaving them in a private lot in the center. One of the most transited highways is the 150 connecting Mexico City and Guadalajara.

What driving laws should I know while driving in Guadalajara?

Before driving in a new place, we recommend checking out any driving laws that may be different from what you’re used to. When driving your car rental in Guadalajara, we recommend sticking to driving in the daylight, especially when not in the city. Mexico uses the metric system, so expect all signs and distances to be indicated in kilometers. Driving around Mexico, you’ll learn there are speedbumps at unexpected places so watch out for them. A lot of intersections have traffic circles instead of traffic lights. They can be chaotic in cities so just be observant and drive safely. Be careful with the tequila. We recommend leaving your rental car behind if you plan on drinking. Mexico’s blood-alcohol content limit is 0.08%. Nonetheless, we suggest checking with Guadalajara’s department of motor vehicles in case there are any traffic law changes.

Will I need a special permit to get a rental car in Guadalajara if I’m visiting from another country?

If you are visiting from out of Mexico, trying to rent a car, and your driver’s license is not in English, you’ll need to have an International Driver’s Permit. The permit is valid as a translation of your license and must be accompanied by the original document. The minimum age to rent a car in Guadalajara is 21 and you’ll most likely have to pay a fee if you are younger than 25 as well as possibly only being able to book economy car rentals. They also require you to have held your driver’s license for at least two years.
