Top Tips for Hiring a Cargo Van in Oaxaca
- Whether you’re hauling items for one of the city’s many celebrations, such as the Holy Week, Day of the Dead or the Guelaguetza Festival, you’re moving equipment from one office to the next, or you’re transporting large fishing gear, kayaks or other marine toys to one of the area’s beautiful beaches, Oaxaca cargo van rentals have the carrying capacity you’re looking for. Because the cargo area is fully enclosed, you won’t have to worry about the weather, giving vans an advantage over pickup trucks.
- When driving in and around Oaxaca, you’ll often have a choice of driving on a free (libre) roadway or a toll road (couta). The free roads may be cheaper but they are not as well maintained, making the toll roads the safer choice in most cases. Be sure to carry some pesos (both bills and coins) for the tolls, as not all of the kiosks accept US dollars.
- Oaxaca cargo van rentals are a great choice for hauling equipment or other large, bulky packages, but they tend to have larger blind spots and less precise maneuverability. Driving during times with less congested traffic, usually in the early morning, late evening, or daytime between about 10am and 3pm, may help compensate for some of these challenges. Keep in mind that the streets of Oaxaca are often not lit at night, so it’s usually safer to drive during the day whenever possible.
- If you’re staying in Oaxaca’s city center and you plan to use your cargo van rental within the city limits, you may want to skip the airport and select a car rental company with a downtown location. You’ll find a good selection of companies located in heart of Oaxaca, including Alamo and Europcar, which are both located on the Mariano Matamoros roadway.
FAQs About Hiring a Cargo Van in Oaxaca
Where is the best place in Oaxaca to rent a cargo van?
Most of the major car rental companies serving Oaxaca have a car rental counter within or just outside the Oaxaca International Airport (OAX). In fact, of the 24 rental car companies in the city, 16 have at least one location at the airport, including Europcar, Alamo, Thrifty, and Hertz. OAX is only about 6.2 miles south of the city center, making it a convenient location to pick up and drop off your vehicle.
Where are the best places to park a cargo van in Oaxaca?
Of course, the easiest place for travelers to park when in the city is at your hotel, as many hotels offer free parking. Just call ahead to confirm that you can park a cargo van overnight during your stay. If you’ll need to park while out and about in the city, you’ll find many options for off-street parking in paid lots or garages. For safety, be sure to select a lot or garage that offers 24/7 security. Parking areas include the lots at Cosijoza, Mayordomo and Trujano and the garage Público Epigmenio downtown. Always double check the lot’s hours, as not all of them are accessible overnight.
What are the requirements to rent a cargo van in Oaxaca?
For Oaxaca cargo van rentals, you’re required to be at least 25 years of age and have a valid driver’s license and credit card. Your US driver’s license is recognized in Mexico, so there is no need for an international driver’s license. You’ll also be required to purchase local liability insurance (which will most likely be included in the car rental contract). The mandatory liability insurance only covers damage done to others - it doesn’t cover damage to the rental car, so you may want to buy a supplemental policy that covers any damage to the rental car in the event of an accident.
How does KAYAK find such low cargo van hire prices?
KAYAK compares cargo van hire prices from all major car hire companies such as Thrifty, Dollar, Enterprise, Hertz, Payless and more to find you the best deal.

Pros:
Friendly, but not helpful.Cons:
When we arrived to Alamo to pick up our reserves car, they informed us that they had no vehicles. Nor did any other Alamos in the city. Even thought they had my email and phone number, no attempt was made to tell me that there were no vehicles. We would have made other plans, but by then it ws 2 lat2.0 Poor
Jul 2019
Pros:
We missed our connecting flight from Mexico City to Oaxaca where we were suppose to pick up our car. We called that were going to be 6 hours late picking up car. Only to get there and the staff not being able hang on to a car for us. Never ended get car, none available for us.Cons:
Maybe allowed the extended pick up time do to unforeseen circumstances. Offer options.5.6 Fair
May 2019
Cons:
There was no one at the drop off location and no instructions of what to do in that situation. Alamo customer service was not helpful and kept me on hold for 20 minutes before I hung up. We had to catch a flight so just ended up parking in a lot and leaving the keys at the counter.Economy Rent a Car

Pros:
Despite our many problems (see below), the staff were relatively friendly and helpful. (For example, the manager provided us with his personal cell number when we called to express our concern that the engine light had gone on and we were afraid of breaking down on a remote road somewhere.)Cons:
Our problems were many. Kayak linked us to carrentals.com which announced on their website that the rental price included the liability insurance required by the Mexican government. However, there was nothing mentioning this on the confirmation documents that we received and Economy Rentacar told us that we needed to buy our own policy @ $18 US per day. (They did lower it to about $16 per day after we complained.) They told us that the car we rented was a 2019 model but the registration said it was a 2015 and it looked and ran like it was even older. It had not been cleaned in a very long time and was filthy inside. It had dents, scratches and peeling paint on almost every square inch, really a piece of junk. We have rented cars all over the world and this was by far our worst experience. A bad mark for Kayak and car rentals.com as well, we felt ripped off from beginning to end.8.0 Very Good
May 2021
Pros:
Staff was helpful and pick up and drop off were good.Cons:
The price quoted on Kayak website is not accurate. The cost of about $5/day is really about $23/day because of required insurance, even though other websites covering car rental is Mexico say the insurance is required to be included in quoted prices. Note that they will put a $1500 hold on you credit card for possible car damage even if your credit card covers any damage to the car. Also note that what they call an intermediate car is really a compact. Otherwise interaction with car local company is good. Rental date April 2021.4.0 Mediocre
Nov 2019
Pros:
Stuff was good, thanks Marco for understanding, but when you return car 1:30 hours later, because its hard to predict traffic-jam in new city in festival day + serpentine 8 hours road before and rental ask you for additional day (but the day before in this great rental was NO cars, despite my booking was 1 month before and only 1 option from rental was - wait please 8 hours! 8 hours !!! ou, and even no appologies or of course compensation) So bad experience at all.Cons:
Try to help me to answer after you read previous message2.0 Poor
Nov 2019
Pros:
The original price. False, turns out you also have to purchase insurance on top of your insurance (don’t do it), an undisclosed deposit was required, vehicle wasn’t even there to rent even though I booked it weeks in advance, booked in advance and couldn’t get a refund, and if it says there’s an airport location think twice, because it was incorrect. Avoid this place!!!Cons:
Airport location, full transparency on pricing, available customer service, vehicles to be available when you pay in advance. It goes on...Europcar

Feb 2019
Pros:
The person I dealt with at the counter was friendly and helpful. It's Europcar's policies that are the problem.Cons:
I reserved a car months in advance at a good price. However, Europcar would not honour that price saying that CDW was compulsory. The first offer was $50 US per day which would have meant the total would be 4 times what I reserved. This input box isn't big enough to express my disgust.2.0 Poor
Apr 2018
Cons:
Europcar's car was not ready in Oaxaca, Mexico. They promised a car, but it did not show up. They then found a car from another agency that wound up being more expensive, a huge hassle to get, and had issues. I will never trust Europcar again.2.0 Poor

Pros:
The real rate was 10 times what was quoted due to insurance. I've travelled to a lot of places and my credit card has always been accepted for insurance purposes. Made me not trust them.Thrifty

Pros:
The car was functional enough for the trip.Cons:
The pick up was a mess. I game to pick up the car and was told a total different price and I got it down to around $340 when they told me it was going to be around $1100. Also Kayak told me a way lower price. The people took about 45mins to get my car as well. Very unprofessional. Lastly I was asked to leave $1400 as a deposit and was surprised because I was never told anything about that. I’m still figuring out to this day if they even returned my money to my account. Lastly, when I came to drop off the car, no one was available and I was close to kissing my flight cause of nobody expecting my car to be dropped off at the time I said. Very dissatisfied with the service and how things turned out. I honestly was stressed.2.0 Poor

Nov 2020
Pros:
Staff was very rude and does not care about anything but money, I am a member of the U.S. armed forces and I was born in Oaxaca and this place does not represent Hertz at all. I’ve had better experience in other Hertz locations but this one only cares about money and how to weasel more out of you. I received a really scratched vehicle and was charged more than what I originally booked it for and was forced to sign a contract because I had no other choice since I had an ill family member.Cons:
I just honestly wish they had clear pictures with the customers they work with and not try and weasel a bigger a higher price for cars that in the U.S.A. You would get for 40$ a day and there they are asking 100$ a day4.4 Mediocre

It would be nice to have available the car and price seen on Kayak. Hertz at this location should not be able to use online reservation services, it seems they are using them as a bottleneck to force travelers to pay premium prices2.0 Poor

Cons:
The roads are death traps, third world country roads at its finest. Animals on the road to Puerto escondido from Oaxaca city, it was a terrifying experience, wouldn't recommend it to no one. PLEASE do not drive these roads, no reception, ambulance, or any kind of proper medical attention in case of an emergency. You have been warned.2.0 Poor
Apr 2018
Pros:
NothingCons:
The total lack of car availability was extremely inconvenient. The very low price of the daily rental should have been a tip-off to me that it was not a real deal. I cannot really fault Hertz for this, I believe Kayak has no idea about doing business in Mexico.Enterprise Rent-A-Car
