How to get the best car hire deal in Mexicali Airport

Here's everything you need to know to hit the road happy after you've touched down in Mexicali Airport. 

How to find a cheap car hire deal in Mexicali Airport (MXL)

  • Just touched down? Pick up a cheap Mexicali Airport rental car and get on your way for around Rs11,376 a day. From solo rides to full-family outings, we'll find the right wheels for whatever you have planned.

  • August is the cheapest month to rent a car in MXL. With average daily rates of Rs10,702, you've got the green light to save.

  • Book early to lock down a cheap MXL rental car. Besides saving money, you can actually get the car you wanted, not just what's left.

  • Check out the offers from Firefly, Europcar and Keddy By Europcar. These are some of the popular providers at Mexicali Airport.

  • Check if a collision damage waiver (CDW) is part of your Mexicali Airport car hire policy, whether you go with Firefly or any other supplier. Some may leave it out of the standard package and offer it as an extra.

  • Booking a one-way car hire is often a great hack for cheaper deals. Select 'Return car to a different location' when looking for a car for rent in MXL. Providers sometimes need to move vehicles from one site to another, which means you can bag some excellent one-way prices.

  • Search for a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You'll pick up and drop off your car hire in Mexicali Airport with a full tank, so you pay only for what you use. You won't get hit with overpriced refueling charges either.

  • Hit the road without tracking every mile and racking up additional charges. Go to the 'Policies' filter and pick 'Unlimited mileage' to find a car that lets you go the distance.

  • After you've picked up the keys to your MXL car hire, it's time to create your own itinerary. Central Mexicali is about 23 kilometres west and a drive of roughly 25 minutes if that's your first stop.

  • If you're not jumping into the driver's seat immediately, consider picking up a car hire in Mexicali instead of at the airport. Collect your ride when it suits you and only pay for the days you need.

Different MXL car hire providers have different insurance policies and coverage levels, so check the details before booking.

Good to know

  • Age requirements for rentals can vary by company (and even car type), so be clear on the rules before you book. Some companies in Mexico may rent to younger drivers for an additional fee. If you're outside the typical age range, just uncheck 'Driver aged between 25–70' and then enter how old you are to unlock the right options.

  • Add a car seat to your MXL car hire booking if you're bringing the kids. Guidelines vary from one place to another, but using a child seat suited to their age and size is always the safest choice.
