Should I rent a car in Cabo?
My friends and I are going to Cabo for a week in the spring. Do we need to rent a car?
Amber Reed · Updated on

Whether or not you need to rent a car in Cabo depends on what you plan to do while you’re there! If you want to check into your hotel and spend the week hanging out and relaxing on the beach, then you’ll probably be just fine without a rental car. But if you want to visit nearby stops like Todos Santos, Cabo Pulmo, or Flora Farms, then you’ll need a car to get around.
You can save money by booking your car in advance—since rates tend to go up the closer it is to your travel date. Just keep in mind that Mexico does not recognize U.S. insurance policies, so even if you have
rental car coverage
, you’ll still need to buy a temporary policy from the rental car company before you can drive away. Other than that, renting a car in Cabo shouldn’t be any more difficult than it is in the states.Want to save some money for your trip?
