Santiago de Querétaro Car Hire

Top tips for renting a car in Santiago de Querétaro

• Mexico is very similar to the U.S. in that automobiles reign supreme in many municipalities. Santiago de Queretaro is no exception to that rule. As a visitor to Santiago de Queretaro, it is highly recommended that you rent a vehicle during your time in the city as it will provide the easiest and most efficient means of transport in the city. This is because buses are the only option for public transportation in the city and, although these bus lines are extensive, in the evening hours and on weekends they offer limited service and are ill-suited for visitors trying to get the most out of their time.
• Travelers looking to pick up a hire car upon arriving at Querétaro Intercontinental Airport will find the hire car counters in the Arrivals Hall of the main terminal.
• No trip to Santiago de Queretaro is complete without a visit to the town’s historic center, but one thing to keep in mind is that many of the old colonial streets and alley are car-free. Visitors planning on taking in the sights should keep this in mind and plan accordingly.
• Santiago de Queretaro is popular among both Mexican residents and visitors alike; this means that there is occasionally some congestion and traffic on its streets. The usual rush hour traffic starts shortly after 7:00 a.m. and lasts until 9:00 a.m. most mornings. In the afternoon, rush hour congestion picks up at about 4:00 p.m. and cools off at around 6:00 p.m. One of the main roads to avoid during rush hour is Highway 57, as it is one of the most popular outlets to and from the city.
• Book your rental car in Santiago de Querétaro at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
