Ideal for side trips to nearby towns. Hiring a car would be a smart option you're thinking about  travelling around this region, as it will give you the freedom and flexibility  to see more of the area and its surrounding attractions.

Driving in the city, it will always be an adventure.Traffic in Mexico is usually messy; driving rules are not  respected, and it is better to drive defensively, because the size of the car  really matters. In general, it is easy to get lost, because the tracing of the streets was not very well planned, and it is usually difficult to  come back to the starting point. On the other hand, the name of the streets is not always visible, due to its small size or because it does not exist. Always  try to carry a map, because asking is useless, unless you ask taxi drivers.

Renting a car can be expensive: calculate about 85 dollars a day for a compact car, including insurance and tax.

Cars for hire, with guide-drivers who speak English, are often parked outside major hotels. These are, of course, more expensive. Check the driver's credentials before getting in.

Driving in Mexico may be an extreme experience.For example, if you must travel from a city to another, it is recommended to go along paid highways, although tolls are not always cheap, they are safe, fast, without heavy traffic and they are always in good condition. On the other hand, state or free highways are generally in bad condition, they are narrow, with many curves and a heavy traffic, in special trucks.
