Car Rentals in Puebla Airport

To rent a vehicle, you will generally need to present:

• Valid official ID: Passport if you are a foreigner or voter ID card (INE) if you are a Mexican citizen.
• Valid driver's license: Must be the original; copies are not accepted. Foreign licenses are valid.
• Credit card: Required in the name of the primary driver for the security deposit. The amount of the deposit varies depending on the category of the car.

Yes, in Mexico it is mandatory by law to have civil liability insurance (third party) that covers damage to other people and property. We recommend choosing packages that include collision damage waiver (CDW or LDW) to protect you against damage to the vehicle, as these are often charged to the final bill or withheld from the security deposit.

The main car rental agencies (such as Hertz, Avis, Alamo, Budget, Airport Puebla, etc., depending on availability) have counters inside or very close to the airport:

• Pickup: Counters are located inside the terminal at Puebla Airport or in a specific transportation area at the exit. In some cases, the agency may offer a free shuttle service from the terminal to the rental company's offices.
• Return: This is done in the designated parking area of the airport or at the agency's office, from where you will be offered a complimentary transfer back to the departure terminal so that you have no problems when catching your flight.

Remember: it is important that the vehicle is returned during the established hours, as some agencies charge extra fees or even an additional day's rental if the vehicle is returned outside the agreed hours.

Some agencies allow you to pick up the car at Puebla Airport (PBC) and return it in cities such as Mexico City (AICM), Cancun, or Guadalajara. Keep in mind that this service almost always involves an additional charge (drop-off fee) and not all agencies allow it.

Gasoline: The price is regulated and paid in Mexican pesos. It is similar to the national average. It is recommended to return the car with the same fuel level as when it was received.

Toll booths: Most major connecting roads, such as the Mexico-Puebla Highway or the Periférico, are toll roads. Make sure you have cash (Mexican pesos) on hand or use the electronic payment option (TAG) if the agency provides it. This will save you from long lines or exhausting wait times.
