Can I rent a car from Don Miguel Hidalgo y Costilla Intl. Airport (GDL)?

What happens if I need to cancel my El Arenal car reservation?
We all have times when plans get upended. That's why we offer a full refund on the majority of rentals if you notify us at least six hours in advance of picking up the car. Remember to double-check the rental policy --- sometimes it's not offered. Can't find anything there? Our Customer Service Portal is always available to help.
What types of cars can I rent in El Arenal?

While many car classes (like economy and compact) are available to young renters, restrictions usually apply to luxury and specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in El Arenal?
The main requirements are your driver's licence and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you opt out. Make sure you check with your rental agency to avoid any issues.

Where can I find an El Arenal car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental companies, so you'll have to do a bit of homework. Found an El Arenal outlet that does rent to drivers under 25 years of age? Terrific news! Just bear in mind that extra fees often apply to drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're looking at should have all the details you need.
