Selected pickup city: Cancún
Mexico's rental scene varies enormously by region — the Yucatán Peninsula (Cancún, Tulum, Mérida, the cenotes and Maya sites scattered between them) is one of the most car-friendly parts of the country, while Mexico City is dense enough that most visitors skip renting there entirely and pick up a car only once heading out toward Puebla or the colonial highlands. A rental in the Yucatán in particular opens up cenotes and ruins well off the main tourist bus routes. Cancún airport is by far the busiest pickup point in the country for visitors.
Toll roads (cuotas) generally run parallel to free roads (libres) and are noticeably better maintained and faster, worth the cost on longer routes even though it adds up. Driving is on the right. Topes (speed bumps) appear frequently and sometimes with little warning near towns, and driving after dark on rural highways is generally discouraged due to road conditions and visibility rather than any single specific risk.
Mandatory third-party liability insurance is a near-universal add-on for foreign visitors in Mexico since most home auto policies don't cover driving there, and this is often not included in a headline rental price — confirm the actual total before comparing quotes. Deposit holds at Cancún-area agencies specifically have a reputation for aggressive upselling at the counter, so it's worth reading the reserved rate's inclusions carefully in advance.
