Car rental essentials
To rent a car in Mexico City you usually need a passport, a driving licence and a bank card for the deposit hold. With 20 places to stay nearby, it's worth comparing a base near the rental desk against one closer to the sights. Read the mileage, excess and insurance terms, plus the fuel-return policy. When touring Mexico, plan stops in advance: fuel stations and car parks in smaller towns are not always open around the clock.
