Top tips for renting a car in Monterrey
- From the airport in Monterrey you’ll have just a short drive to the city’s center, so why not rent a car? Along with being able to visit attractions like the Macroplaza or Cerro de la Silla, you can also drive to the city of Guadalupe or Santa Catarina (home to several beautiful caverns and caves).
- Monterrey International Airport is one of the busiest airports in Mexico. This large airport has an array of hire car companies for travelers to choose from, including Thrift, Sixt, and Dollar. Once you land and have your bags in hand, simply go to Terminal C to get your car. Rent a car from here for a day, a week, or even a month.
- There are many toll roads around Monterrey so you’ll want to have plenty pesos on hand. When driving in smaller cities, you might see a difference in traffic lights. That is, although red is still for stop and green for go, a blinking green light will serve as a warning to let you know the light will soon change so do not proceed.
- Many commuters ride the bus or take the train to work in Monterrey. However, traffic can still be heavy during peak travel hours around the city. Peak hours in the morning are typically from 6:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the evenings. It gets the busiest around the downtown area and business districts.
- Book your rental car in Monterrey at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in Monterrey are around 78% cheaper than other car types, on average

Jan 2020
Pros:
Drop off was easy but pick up was awful.Cons:
They lied on pickup that having rental cars insured was a law when I asked not to get insurance. They said they would not give me the car without insurance. So I paid more than the original amount.6.4 Okay

May 2021
Pros:
Good experience, BUT only after locating actual car rental company--which is not under name Economy. No sign or anything at Monerrey baggage claim. Instead had to ask around where are, how get to pick up.8.0 Very good
May 2021
Pros:
Car was great, and staff were helpfulCons:
On arriving in Baggage Claim, there was no set up at all for Economy...no contact phone for pickup (only in my booking info a local telephone number to call...and on arrival my phone didn't work for Mexico). When was able to call, turns it Economy operates under another name.2.0 Poor
Jan 2019
Pros:
Did not pick up carCons:
They advertised as ‘in terminal.’ Only after I booked They clarified they are actually far from the airport. I had a short time so couldn’t risk the long shuttle. When I asked for a refund they were entirely unhelpful and I ended up wasting $50 because of their bait and switch advertising.2.0 Poor

Pros:
Nobody was at the counter to direct anything nor did anyone pick up when the airport information desk called the agency. Needed to rent with someone else. Unbelievably poor service6.4 Okay
Oct 2016
Pros:
They were helpful when explaining the fees.Cons:
The Insurance turned out to be triple what the car cost. And I had already purchased the $10 protection. If I did not purchase the insurance, the company was going to open a credit card voucher for the total cost of the car - about $35,000.That seemed risky too.4.0 Mediocre

Jan 2020
Pros:
The staff was not helpful at all with my experience. The clerk at the counter refused my reservation because he claimed the system read my licence to be less than one year old and when I explained here it was a renewed licence he just said there was nothing he could do. When I explained to him I had just rented a car in the US with national and that I am 40yo, that in Canada licence are renewed periodically he just refused to do something to help on the situation. Then I requested him to use his land-phone to call anyone in Avis Corp to help he simply refused. When I asked to talk to his supervisor he refused and proceed to cancel my reservation.Cons:
Train the Clark to help the customer. Make modifications to the Avis rental system to understand what a renewed licence is2.4 Poor

Mar 2017
Pros:
They gave us a speedy ride to the proper terminal when dropping off the car.Cons:
There are three terminals in Monterrey where we arrived. There was no way to know which terminal the rental location was located. The very inexpensive rental price did not include insurance and they insisted that my insurance would not cover the vehicle so I ended up paying a regular rental rate of aroun $35 USD per day. The parking lot where we returned the car was flooded after rain and there was no safe place to get out of the car. Very difficult with large luggage.Advantage

Cons:
I reserved a car with Advantage, but once there I was directed to Europcar, which didn't honor the reservation and tried to charge me 4x the agreed upon rate, plus demanded that I buy full coverage insurance from them. I cancelled the reservation and took an Uber instead. All this reflects poorly on Kayak, felt like a bait and switch.2.0 Poor

Jun 2018
Pros:
We ended up not renting a car due to the deposit amonut.Cons:
The agent was not clear that they would be holding a $3000 US depost on my credit card on top of the rental car fee. After charging the fee he ran my card again and it declined. We understood it would be 3000 pesos, so we were confident it would be approved. Due to them being unclear, we told them to cancel all transactions. They said they did but a $2900 hold remained on my credit card. For my whole trip in Mexico my only credit card was maxed out and I couldn’t use it for anything. This was my first time out of the US and purposely brought my credit card for emergencies, as of today the charge is still showing as pending.2.0 Poor
Apr 2018
Cons:
The location was not at the airport as stated in the confirmation. I got there and asked around and only two others were there but not budget. When I called support while I was looking for the place, I couldn't speak to anyone as some sort of password was needed (the call would auto drop)2.0 Poor
