Cabo San Lucas offers many options for car rentals. You can rent standard and sub-compact cars, Jeeps, Hummers, SUVs, vans and minibuses of similar or the same brands and models that you are familiar with in your own country.

Rentals desks are available in many of the hotel chains and in offices along the avenues in the main tourist areas of downtown Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo.
- You need to be at least 24 years old.
- You need a valid driver's licence
- You need a major credit card
- Mileage is free
- If you can, rent from a company in various locations, this will be useful in case of any issue.
- You need to deliver the car with the same amount of gasoline in the tank, normally tanked up.
- If your insurance company does not cover you in Mexico, you need to pay a local insurance which is around 15-20 dollars/day.
The best deals and arrangements can be found online if you book in advance, this insures the best deal and the availability of the most popular car models, such as 4x4s, SUVs and convertibles.

Your foreign driver's license is legal in Mexico. Over the past decade, most of the streets of Cabo, the the Tourist Corridor (the 20-mile stretch between Cabo San Lucas and San Jose) have been paved, so now there is no real need for a jeep to get around.
Los Cabos is a great place for day trips including Todos Los Santos, an artist and writer town, 1 hour North and also La Paz, the capital of Baja California Sur, two hours from the Cabo area.
You can close the 250 mile loop by returning to Los Cabos via the Sea of Cortez and the East Cape side. This loop includes mining towns such as Triunfo and San Antonio, San Bartolo, Los Barriles, Buena Vista, to return to Los Cabos from the East Cape dirt road or paved State Highway 1 that runs past Santiago and Miraflores. Don't forget to enjoy Cabo Pulmo's largest coral reef (and wildlife preserve) in America.
