Cross Border Travel: USA To Mexico

Cross Border Travel: USA To Mexico is quite a confusing subject for car hire companies in general. Cross border travel within the US is fine but it gets complicated when you want to go to Mexico. We got a question on our live chat recently that asked if we can permit travel from Mexico to the USA, unfortunately we can’t as no car rental supplier will allow us to do this. We wanted to look further into this however to see if there was anything we can do.

Strangely, we can allow for you to pick up a hired vehicle within the USA (North America) and drive it to Mexico as long as you bring it back to the USA after your rental period. So Cross Border Travel: USA To Mexico is possible only if you’ll bring the car back to USA.
Confusingly however you can’t do this the other way around, if you pick up a car in Mexico you will not be allowed to drive it into North America.

CROSS BORDER TRAVEL: USA TO MEXICO comes with a charge

Cross Border Travel: USA To Mexico with a car hire comes with a charge. There is one supplier who will allow us to do this and they charge a daily fee of $31 on top of the price of your rental.
This also must be paid on a credit card as debit cards will not be allowed for this kind of travel. The car groups are also restricted to groups A, B, C, D, E, F and G.
