Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Baja California car reservation?
We all have times when even our best-laid plans get upended. That's why we give a full refund on most prepaid reservations if you notify us a minimum of six hours before the pickup time. Be sure to double-check your cancellation policy — there are some cases where it's not available. Can't find the details there? Our Customer Service Portal has more useful information.
What types of cars can I rent in Baja California?
Small, big and in between, you're spoiled for choice! If you like your rides to have style and lots of space, consider the most popular type of rental in Baja California — the full-size. These vehicles are perfect for larger groups needing comfort and room to stretch out. Also, nice touches like sunroofs and high-quality upholstery are often standard. If you'd like something smaller, choose an economy or compact car. They make city driving a walk in the park.
Where can I go on a road trip from Baja California?
After you've visited all of the interesting attractions in Baja California, there's plenty more to explore in the surrounding region. Grab the keys to a rental car, pack your bags in the trunk and get out on the open road. These are some drives you're sure to enjoy:

  • Head to Manzanillo for a fun-filled sightseeing adventure. Around 193 kilometres from Baja California, it has numerous cool attractions like Zocalo.
  • Why not check out everything on offer in Aguascalientes too? Unmissable sights in this colourful city include Victoria Stadium. Aguascalientes is about 177 kilometres from Baja California.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Baja California?
Baja California requires drivers to be at least 21 to rent a car. However, young drivers can expect an extra cost and stricter rental conditions. Many outlets impose a daily young renter fee on top of the usual car rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young motorists, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in Baja California?
Two things — your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of other coverage if you prefer to opt out. Be sure to check your policy terms and conditions to avoid any issues.
What side of the road do you drive on in Baja California?
In Baja California and around Mexico, they drive on the right-hand side of the road. While this is the same as in the States, make sure you're aware of any different traffic laws.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Baja California?
Whether you plan to stay in Baja California or explore what's beyond, you can book a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we'll find you affordable long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Baja California car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so you'll have to do a bit of research. Found a Baja California outlet that does rent to drivers under the age of 25? Great! Just be aware that an extra charge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the information you need.
