Once you arrive in Mexico, you will need a way to get around. Remember, planning ahead will ensure that you are not surprised by the condition of public transportation or lack of available rental cars. Here are some popular travel options for Mexican vacationers.
Renting a Car
Renting a car is much more expensive in Mexico than in the United States, but it is a possibility. If you absolutely must have your own vehicle, look at the car very carefully before signing the agreement. Make sure any non-working part, scratch, or dent is recorded, because the agents will call you on damage to the car, and you will have to pay. Also, read up on driving etiquette in Mexico, because drivers behave much differently south of the border than they do in America.
Public Transportation
Public transportation is a much more affordable, and often more convenient, option for getting around Mexico. You can get in city buses and metro trains in most major Mexican cities. National buses can take you from one city to another. You will need to brush up on some Spanish to use these public transportation options, and be sure you know here you are getting off before you even board.
Non-Public Bus Service
If the harried public transportation scene is not for you, consider traditional bus service. This is, perhaps, the best way to get around Mexico. Find the maps for the bus lines in your area, and figure out how to get from one destination to the next prior to boarding. You will find professional bus service to be both comfortable and convenient.
Taxis and Private Car Hire
For a more personal transportation option, flag down a taxi or hire private car service. Both are available in most major cities, but this will cost a bit more than public transportation or bus service. However, a taxi or private car can take you right to the door of your resort or attraction, saving you a few steps along the way.
