Car Rental in Cancun

Pick up your rental car at one location and drop it off at another throughout Mexico. One-way rentals are subject to a drop off charge, which varies by vehicle type. Start a reservation to find more information specific to your trip.

• A valid driving license that’s been held for at least one year
• Valid ID (like a Passport or state-issued photo ID)
• Valid credit card (Cash and debit cards are not accepted)

All gas stations in Mexico are full service, which means you will not need to pump your own gas. If this makes you uncomfortable, you can opt to pre-pay for fuel at the counter to avoid fueling up your rental before returning it. If you prefer, you can refuel the vehicle to the same fuel level you received when you pick up the vehicle. If you return your rental car with less fuel than you rented it with, you will be charged a refueling fee.

When renting a car from Alamo in Cancun, Third Party Liability (TPL) coverage is mandatory. This covers third party liability for you and your belongings, as well as the legal expenses. Your rental does not include TPL or any additional protection products. You can add TPL to your online reservation or at the Alamo counter when you pick up your rental car. This pricing is not included in the vehicle rental price.

We also offer additional protection products that you can purchase along with your rental vehicle, including:

• Collision and Damage Waiver (CDW): Covers damage to the car
• Deductible Protection: Additional to the CDW, this protection covers the deductible payment caused by a car accident, theft, damage for normal wear and tear on the vehicle. This protection does not cover accidents caused by negligence, alcohol, drugs or abnormal use of the vehicle.
• Personal Accident Insurance (PAI): Covers ambulance services, doctors, hospitalization and nurses for each passenger in the vehicle, with a maximum coverage of $20,000 per event.
