Your best option is a plain economy car, as they fit into all parking lots, can cruise through the city without taking up too much space, and are less likely to get stolen compared to a luxury BMW or Mercedes. In Mexico, car theft or damage is still fairly common, so also make sure to get insurance with your rental car. Good traction is also something you want to have in your rental car, as road conditions can be challenging in some parts.

Always check the speed limit signs, but general regulations allow between 30 and 70 kph in residential areas (18 to 43 mph), 90 kph in rural, non-residential areas (56 mph) and up to 110 kph on freeways (68 mph).

It is advisable to opt for a hotel with parking included if you are traveling with a rental car, as it will provide a safe parking space.
