Car rentals in Oaxaca allow visitors to access some of the areas that are inaccessible using public buses and taxis. Oaxaca has one of the most rugged terrains in Mexico, having mountain ranges that abruptly fall into the sea. Narrow valleys, ravines, and canyons are commonly found between these mountains.

Intermediate SUV is one of the car types that is ideal for this kind of terrain.

All car rentals in Oaxaca avail of child seats, infant seats, and booster seats across all its pickup locations. However, those who request these seats have to pay a daily fee for the same.

Therefore, when planning to book car rentals in Oaxaca, remember that you will only be able to operate within the borders of Mexico.
