KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Acapulco
- People considering car rentals in Acapulco have the right idea. When you secure an Acapulco car rental, you are giving yourself the freedom to explore some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. You can not only drive around the vibrant city of Acapulco, but you can drive to the different beaches surrounding Acapulco Bay and drive up and down the coast to beach cities such as Barra Vieja or Luces en el Mar. You can also drive into the Sierra Madre del Sierra mountains. Whatever tickles your fancy in Acapulco, you can explore it on your own schedule.
- The Acapulco International Airport (ACA) is about 14 miles southeast of downtown Acapulco, thus making it an ideal location for securing car rentals in Acapulco. You can easily access car rental agency kiosks on the lower level of the Acapulco International Airport, where you'll find a number of recognizable international car rental agencies. When you get car rentals in Acapulco from ACA, you will need to have a valid driver's license, a credit card, proof that you are 25 years old or older, and Mexican car insurance.
- When you are driving around Acapulco, you should pay to drive on toll roads or cuotas when you get the chance. The free highways tend to be narrow with no shoulder and blind curves, and there can be people, burros, or chickens in the middle of the road. The toll roads on the other hand have Green Angels pickup trucks that patrol the roads with mechanics and medical aid in order to help you in case you get stranded or have an accident.
- Make sure that when you are driving car rentals in Acapulco, you have Mexican car insurance. Car insurance is not required of Mexican drivers, so there is no guarantee of coverage in case of an accident, whether it is the other person’s fault or not. Therefore, you want to be covered in case of any mishap. Also, pay close attention when you stop at gas stations. Make sure that the meter on the gas pump is at zero when they start pumping the gas. Gas station attendants have been known to scam tourists by starting the meter at 100 MXN (around 5.8 USD) so that they can overcharge you.

However, many of the roads are in poor condition, and a larger, sturdier car might be more to your liking. Also, if you are going to be driving outside of the city, many of the roads leading out of Acapulco seem to literally drive through the middle of nowhere. Thus, you might feel safer in a larger vehicle.

On major highways around Acapulco, the speed limit is generally 130 km/h (about 80 mph). Within the city of Acapulco itself, the speed limit tends to be 40 km/h (about 25 mph). However, on small and crowded streets, which you might certainly encounter in Acapulco, the speed limit is generally 10 km/h (6 mph). Always drive with caution, as even a fender bender can become a major headache in a foreign country.

While parking on the streets in Acapulco is not metered, many of the streets have " owners”. This means that there are people on the street who will watch your car in order to prevent it from coming to harm or being damaged in exchange for a tip.

Nov. 2019
Pros:
Absolutely nothing. The manager, Cesar Salazar, was very pushy and rude. He didn’t accept the insurance I had purchased with Kayak and forced me to buy another insurance plan. I felt very pressured and due to the known crime in the area, he made me scared for my own well being so I caved and bought it.Cons:
Get rid of him.2.0 Poor
Jun. 2018
Cons:
I booked on at the “special” price of $30 US dollars. When we arrived to pickup the car, we were told it would be $249. Then the manager came out and said he could reduce the price to $175. After we refused for the second time finally he said his lowest price would be $135. We decided not to rent from this company.Alamo
