KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in León

  • Renting a car during your stay in Leon City in Guanajuato can be a great first move to explore different places within and outside the city. From car rentals in Leon, you can get a car that can smoothly enable you to explore Guanajuato in less time than other transportation options. You can quickly move to San Miguel de Allende, approximately 62 miles. Ideally, with a car, you can drive from Leon city to San Francisco Del Rincon, which is situated about 16 miles. You can as well explore other cities like Irapuato easily with a car.
  • You must provide your rental company with a few documents to get cheap car rentals in León. Bring a driver's license that has been used for a minimum of 12 months. Also, you must show an international driving permit if your driver's license is not written in the Latin alphabet. Ensure your credit card has sufficient credit to cover the overall cost of your automobile rental, i.e, security deposit, insurance, and additional items you might hire from the agency. Finally, if you reserve a car online, you must show the confirmation voucher the agency will send to your email. You might also need to present other papers, such as your passport and ID card.
  • With Car rentals in Leon, you can get a car that can take you to Leon Airport, which is approximately 16 miles. The airport has a car rental center that offers a variety of vehicles. You can easily access that car rental center from any airport terminal through the different buses that ferry passengers from the terminals. You can book car rentals in Leon through KAYAK, which offers a wide variety of cars with features that you may prefer. Other Leon car rentals are available near include; Europcar, Payless Car Rental, and Enterprise Rent-A-Car.
  • Renters who want to cross the Mexican-US border with cheap car rentals in León must inform the rental staff first to receive a letter of authorization and proof of automobile insurance. You must carry proof of citizenship, a valid Mexican driver’s license, and the rental agreement form. The few rental companies that allow you to drive into other countries like Guatemala will need you to sign additional paperwork and provide special permission – they will most likely limit the mileage you can cover in Guatemala. You must carry a passport or international visa, an original birth certificate, and an international driving permit.
  • Leon city, like many other cities, experiences challenges, especially on the roads, due to its high population visible on the streets. With narrow streets in the city, it may be challenging to drive through, especially if you are new. With the high number of pedestrians on the roads, you need to be extremely careful as you watch out for them, with some crossing the road unaware of approaching cars. The city also has cyclists always on the roadside, some even racing on the streets. You must keep be keen and maintain a good speed to avoid knocking them down.
  • Suppose you rent an electric car in León; Federal Highway 45 is the main thoroughfare for charging points. It provides easy access to Nissan Zero Emission (near the central bus station), Tesla Destination Charger (next to Plaza del Zapato), ChargePoint (on AV Cerro Gordo Street), and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations (J.J Torres Landa Ote Blvd). Some outlets like Porsche Destination Charging are within hotels (Hotel GlowPoint, next to Starbucks Puerta Bajio),
  • Leon City, being a big city, has many vehicles on the highways. The many cars on the road sometimes lead to traffic congestion that may slow the movement of the cars. On many occasions, driving during rush hours, generally in the evening, is the main reason you end up in traffic jams. Rush hours are known to have many cars as people rush to get home from work. The city's main highways are usually full of cars during these times. If you are in a hurry, you must avoid the main roads such as Section 2 to reach your destination in time.
  • Book your car hire in León at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in León are around 37% cheaper than other car types, on average

Ended up not renting the vehicle. When we went to the counter, we were told the insurance (full coverage) Kayak/Expedia included in the fee was not valid, and a separate fee was required to cover driving in Mexico. This added significantly to the cost, almost doubling it. They suggested we rent the car and get our money back from Kayak/Expedia. We declined to rent the car. Not sure where the issue is, and which side is right or wrong. We decided to take Uber for all transportation.
