Car rental at Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo Intl Airport

Then you are supposed to sign several documents such as the insurance papers and, of course, the rental agreement. Keep copies of the paperwork because you will need them later. Examine the car rental terms because each agency has distinct rules regarding credit cards, IDs, and driver's experience.
