What happens if I need to cancel my Oaxaca car reservation?
We understand that flexibility on the road is important. That's why many reservations give a full refund if you notify us at least six hours ahead of collecting the car. It's still good to scan the agreement though because there are some exemptions. If you can't find the answer there, click on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in Oaxaca?
Mini, economy, full-size, premium ... The choice is yours! However, compact models are the top pick in Oaxaca. If you're searching for something economical and small, but not too small, this category of rental car is a wise choice. Navigating traffic-filled streets will be a cinch in one of these. Compact vehicles are slightly roomier compared to economy models and are well-suited to families on a budget, couples or solo travellers.
Where can I go on a road trip from Oaxaca?
There are lots of things to see and do in Oaxaca, but venture further afield and you'll find even more magic. Pick up a set of wheels and you can discover the surrounding area at your own speed. Add these awesome destinations to your to-do list:

  • You'll find Tehuacan Cathedral and loads of other amazing sights in Tehuacan. From Oaxaca, it's around 177 kilometres away.
  • Roughly 193 kilometres away, Salina Cruz is also a hit with travellers. Be sure to get to Salina Cruz Lighthouse while you're here. It's one of the reasons people love this thriving city.
  • Playa Revolcadero is approximately 338 kilometres from Oaxaca and is one of the region's most breathtaking nature spots. Stretch your legs and enjoy the fresh air here.

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Oaxaca?
In Oaxaca, the requirement is generally 21 and over. Most companies will charge extra fees for young drivers, which can vary depending on the rental location. Rental policies for young drivers may restrict certain vehicles, such as large SUVs, and require the purchase of comprehensive insurance. It's always a good idea to read the fine print carefully before locking in your ride.
What do you need to rent a car in Oaxaca?
Before you can hop behind the wheel in Oaxaca, you'll need a driver's licence and a credit card. If you prefer not to take out the rental company's insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Requirements may vary, so understand the policy terms and conditions before you select a rental company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Oaxaca?
In Oaxaca and around Mexico, people drive on the right-hand side of the road. While this is the same as in the U.S, keep in mind that there's likely to be different traffic rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Oaxaca?
Expedia makes it a breeze to book a long-term car rental in Oaxaca. Just visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and compare your possibilities.
Where can I find an Oaxaca car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies are different between rental companies, so be prepared to do a little shopping around. Found an Oaxaca outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? That's great! Just bear in mind that some companies charge additional fees to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The terms and conditions of each rental car you're interested in should have all the information you need.
