Destination
Monterrey, Mexico
Monterrey is spread out, and having a car makes it easy to reach Chipinque, the Grutas de García, and the surrounding mountains. The airport and city have all major rental brands; roads are generally good.
Where to Rent
MTY airport has the usual agencies. Renting at the airport is convenient for heading straight to the mountains or your hotel. City offices can be cheaper if you're already downtown.
Day Trips
Chipinque park is a short drive from the city. Grutas de García, Cola de Caballo waterfall, and the wine route near Parras are popular. Roads are well-maintained; allow extra time for mountain curves.
Rates and Insurance
Compacts start at $25-40/day. Mexican liability is mandatory; check your credit card for collision coverage. Toll roads are common and in good condition.
Driving Tips
- Rent for at least one full day to justify the cost
- Chipinque is a must — go early to avoid crowds
- Keep cash for tolls
- Park in guarded lots in the city
