Mexico is a big country — and there are plenty of ways to get around it. Which method is right for you depends on a few factors, including where you will be traveling, what sort of travel you are interested in, and, of course, cost. With that in mind, here is a look at those options.
DRIVING
I have driven Mexico from end to end — twice. And I loved it. In 2008, my husband and I followed the Pacific Coast to the southern border with Guatemala, and beyond. On the return trip north, we navigated Mexico’s gorgeous, mountainous interior, stopping for a several-month stint in Mexico City before crossing back into the United States at Juárez, then among the most dangerous cities in the world. It was an incredible trip, and one I would recommend highly. Even so, when friends ask about renting a car in Mexico, I invariably discourage it.
