Car Rental in Guadalajara

You can pick up your rental car at one location in Guadalajara and drop it off at another throughout Mexico. One-way car 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 Guadalajara, Third Party Liability (TPL) coverage is mandatory by Mexico country's law. This covers third party liability for you and your belongings, as well as the legal expenses. Your rental does not include 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.
