Car Rental in San Jose del Cabo

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)

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.
