KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Cabo San Lucas

  • A hire car is by far the best option to explore not only Cabo San Lucas, but also its surrounding area, with its secluded beaches and nearby towns that are well worth a day trip. The whole Tourist Corridor connecting San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas features a vast array of gorgeous beaches, so drive along the 20-mile stretch and make scenic stops as you please with your hire car.
  • All the major car hire companies, including Avis and Alamo, can be found at San Jose Del Cabo International Airport (SJD), which is about a 40-minute drive from Cabo San Lucas. Most car hire desks can be found in the Arrivals Hall area after going through baggage claim and customs, but some will have off-site offices, in which case they’ll provide a shuttle. You’ll need an International Driver’s Permit, as well as Mexican car insurance for the length of your hire contract.
  • Navigating Cabo San Lucas is fairly easy, but remember most traffic signs will be in Spanish only. The city is very popular during spring break and school vacations, which means the roads will be more crowded during those seasons. There are also several speed bumps across town. Most highways in Mexico are tolled, including the one that goes to the airport, so make sure you always have Mexican pesos or American dollars in cash with you.
  • Bumper-to-bumper traffic does happen sometimes in the Los Cabos area, especially during the summer and spring break seasons. Traffic jams in the surrounding Cabo San Lucas roads are also common, so avoid driving into town during the morning rush hour (between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m.) or out of town, particularly on weekends, after 5 p.m. If you’re heading to the airport during these times, plan your journey in advance.
  • Compact rental cars in Cabo San Lucas are around 55% cheaper than other car types, on average

FAQs about renting a car in Cabo San Lucas

  • What type of car is recommended for driving in Cabo San Lucas?

    For travelers who don’t require much passenger or luggage space, a small, compact car will be enough to drive to the beach and easily park downtown. A convertible is a fun option for when the weather allows you to drive with the top down, and a minivan is recommended if traveling with the whole family.

  • What’s the speed limit in Cabo San Lucas?

    The speed limit in urban areas is usually 60 km/h (37 mph), but it may be lower in certain residential areas, so watch out for the posted signs. Urban throughways have a speed limit of 60-80 km/h (37-50 mph), rural highways observe a limit of 70-90 km/h (43-56 mph), and major highways allow you to drive at a maximum of 110 km/h (68 mph).

  • Where are the best places to park in Cabo San Lucas?

    Street parking is available within the white curb marks, while red curbs mean parking isn’t allowed. Keep an eye out for meters as some parking spaces require payment. There are also several paid parking lots across the city, such as the Paraiso Mall garage. You can also leave your car at some resorts’ parking lots, provided that you intend on using their services, such as the bar.

I purchased a rental with all insurance including third party liability included. At the office they insisted I could not get the car without purchasing supplemental third party liability insurance (SLI). Phone call from the agency that I booked through didn't make a difference. They wanted to charge about 40 USD/day in SLI, which clearly would have been excessive even if TLI wouldn't already have been included in the rate I paid for. Ended up not taking the car as just their SLI would have cost me 5x what I paid for in car rental fees. I would never rent with them again and encourage no one else to do so unless they're happy paying 40 USD/day for just SLI (if you need CDW it would have been up to double that).

This was not published anywhere when booking the car: at pickup they make you pay either $105 USD/day for supplemental liability insurance, or a $5000 deposit to cover the value of the car. Completely unreasonable hidden fees! The pickup also took almost an hour. I would not rent from them again!

The process was confusing The rental was for 3 days I purchased the reservation and car collison insurance. When I got to los cabos there was a van that drove us to the rental that was nice. When we got to the rental place they were asking us to purchase more insurance through them or else we couldn't get the car. It was between $3000-1000 USD for the deposit plus a fee of 200-90 USD Something like that. I may not understand rentals in mexico but I'm more accustomed to a couple hundred not thousands I didnt want to deposit that kind of money so I decided to not take the rental.

The price was completely off.. I booked in Canadian dollars, ended up in USD. Price ended up more than double what was originally anticipated, no option to pre pay, forced to purchase insurance on vehicle when I have insurance coverage through my credit card provider. Also when trying to contact Avis at the designated area, no answer for 30mins, needed to get the hotel desk clerk to contact several locations to find the right person to bring the vehicle to the meeting spot. Zero mention of filling petrol, charged us extra on top after. Horrible experience on all fronts.

Awful. Forced to purchase Mexican insurance which pushed the cost to almost 4 times of what was confirmed when I booked. Complete false advertisement. Car battery died and left us stranded. No wiper fluid and no tools to change a tire. Left feeling ripped off. Avoid all car rentals during high season in your travels to MX if you can. This insurance scam stuff is a pervasive issue.

Renting a car in Mexico is a rip off. Once you think you have secured a rental fee you get hit with not only one type of insurance coverage BUT 3. So your rental ends up being very expensive. If you have a credit card that can cover your basic needs, IT IS NOT ENOUGH to satisfy the do call coverage. In addition, they send you a letter telling you that because of high demand your vehicle is not available, BUT they a wonderful upgrade for 3 or 4 times as expensive. We ended up renting from a different vendor, and ended up being less expensive and my credit card satisfied the basic coverage. However, we had to sign o declination on all other additional BS.
