KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in La Paz
- Car hire in La Paz is a great way to truly enjoy this Mexican state with complete accessibility to the surrounding areas, as public transportation cannot provide links to some of the more enticing regions of the Baja California Sur capital. A seaside mecca with everything you need for an exceptional holiday, exploring La Paz by car will provide access to local delights such as the Malecon Promenade and the beautiful 19th-century Nuestra Senora de La Paz Cathedral, as well as further-flung attractions. Pop into the Whale Museum or take a drive out to La Ventana Bay to go kitesurfing.
- When visiting La Paz, you will likely arrive at Manuel Márquez de León International Airport (LAP). It’s about 10 km (6 miles) from the city centre and has many car hire companies at your disposal, which are easily found in the Arrivals hall. Look for Mas by Mex, Hertz, Alamo, Mex Rent A Car and others. Hire a GPS and place it on the English setting, unless you are fluent in Spanish.
- With car hire in La Paz, you’ll drive on the right-hand side of the road. The city is served by two major highways: Highway 1 and 19. From these central networks, you can reach almost any town in the Baja California area with ease. Driving in La Paz will be safe if you restrict your driving to the daytime as much as possible. Signs are in Spanish with the odd English translation, but familiarise yourself with the main road signs before driving. Roads are quite narrow in the centre of La Paz and often pedestrians walk alongside beach roads, so always keep your eyes peeled. The blood alcohol concentration limit is 0.08%, which is in line with the UK.
- Using car hire in La Paz will be vastly different from the UK. A more challenging aspect will always be the roads. Even the highways are narrow in places and large trucks and buses take up quite a lot of space. You will find military checkpoints across the city and the Baja area. It’s important you pull over and be respectful to the officers. Be aware of the drinking and driving by tourists that holiday in La Paz, and at night you will find many roads badly lit, with speedbumps and even farm animals such as cows and donkeys. If road tripping, be aware that petrol stations are few and far between once you leave the city centre; you will need to keep your tank as full as possible.
- Book your rental car in La Paz at least 2 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Intermediate rental cars in La Paz are around 30% cheaper than other car types, on average

What type of car is recommended for driving in La Paz?
You will find fantastic terrain to explore with La Paz car hire. From smooth coastal routes to hills, mountains and sun-drenched, desert-like dirt roads, La Paz’s network of roads is a great adventure if driving a suitable vehicle. Longer trips that venture into the Baja region would benefit from the comfort and performance abilities of an SUV. If staying local with hotel parking, a convertible would suit the area perfectly. Alternatively, an economy car that is compact and light on fuel is excellent for the narrow roads of the city centre.
What is the speed limit in La Paz?
Speed limits in La Paz are very standard and observed in kilometres. When in urban areas, you will need to drive no more than 40 km/h (25 mph). When on open roads, you can drive 80 km/h (50 mph), while the highways allow for up to 110 km/h (68 mph).
Where are the best places to park in La Paz?
When visiting La Paz, it will most likely be in high season when the city is the busiest. Street parking is available but will be harder to find when tourism season is in full swing. It’s often better to look for guarded car parks, which cost anything from MXN 34 (GBP 1.55) to MXN 85 (GBP 3.87) per hour. Side streets are easier to find parking on, and there are many hotels, resorts, restaurants and shopping centres offering free parking. The beaches have ample parking spots too. Playa El Conchalito and Balandra Beach typically have free parking.

Pros:
The vw is a dependable little car but very low to the ground, with any load in trunk it would scrape going over topes. Not Europcar fault but the insurance rates due to no foreign insurance being accepted are insanely high.4.8 Mediocre
Apr 2017
Pros:
Car was ready on time. Car was swapped out when we came back for a problem.Cons:
Our first car had several scratches, to the point where I felt europcar doesn't maintain their cars and simply charges customers for scratches which they never repair. Secondly, our first car needed an oil change after we had only driven it 30km. The staff did provide us with a new car, but on this car the staff failed to put on a front license plate and didn't tell us this was a problem nor did they note this in the contract. Upon returning the car we were blamed for the missing front license plate until we produced photos showing it was gone already upon picking up the vehicle. Bad experience!!2.0 Poor

We got there at 3pm and it took the lady workin there one hour to help one customer that was as ahead of us. Our reservation was for a small suv that was going to be $100 for 4 days. They wanted to charge us $330 for insurance!!! Price Paine had the insurance at $40 for silk covage and they did not except that price. They also did the same thing to the cuspmter in front of us. We ended up renting with hertz for $120 for the same car with full insurance.5.2 Fair
