Since traffic in Acapulco is notorious for being constantly congested, a smaller car may be easier to navigate through the city. However, many of the roads are in poor condition, and a larger, sturdier car might be more to your liking. Also, if you are going to be driving outside of the city, many of the roads leading out of Acapulco seem to literally drive through the middle of nowhere. Thus, you might feel safer in a larger vehicle.

On major highways around Acapulco, the speed limit is generally 130 km/h (about 80 mph). Within the city of Acapulco itself, the speed limit tends to be 40 km/h (about 25 mph).

Always drive with caution, as even a fender bender can become a major headache in a foreign country.
