Mexico is a country with an amazing history. Once upon a time, the most ancient civilizations were located on its territory, many secrets of which have not yet been solved. Although, perhaps, the truth lies on the surface, just scientists minds are trying to compare all interesting finds with historical facts, however, they consider a step away from the beaten track as a pseudoscientific hypothesis, and therefore cannot explain some points. But you are more fortunate: you are not bound by any requirements for scientific work, you will always be forgiven for an amateurish approach, besides, your imagination has the right to go beyond existing scientific ideas, so do not limit yourself exclusively to beach holidays and official excursions around the country, but take a chance take an independent trip to the ancient pyramids and abandoned cities. To do this, you will need to rent a car, since it is somewhat costly to travel to another part of the world with your own car.
To rent a car in Mexico, you will need:
- International driving license;
- international passport
- Security deposit on a bank card or in cash.
How the deposit will be paid is discussed at the rental company. It can range from $ 500 to $ 1000. However, you must be at least 21 years old. By the way, if you show your domestic driver's license, then you will also be given a car for rent, because the more customers, the more profitable for the distributors. However, they care little about your further fate, and if you are stopped by police officers, then they will demand exactly international law! By the way, there are not so few police officers on the roads here.
Roads of Mexico
The country has both toll and free roads. In this case, the road map can be taken at the hotel, as well as purchased at any kiosk. Toll roads are designated Cuota, and free roads are Libre, that is, free.
You can pay for travel on a toll road both at the entrance and at the exit, directly at the barrier. At the same time, the quality of toll roads is amazing, they have many lanes, there are no pits and bumps on them. Such routes are laid between major cities and resort areas in Mexico.
As for free roads, their inferiority is visible by eye. They are more often single-lane, moreover, they now and then have tall "speed bumps", moreover, not indicated by any signs. The lack of pointers is annoying, especially when you come across serpentine zones. Nevertheless, for some reason, the most beautiful landscapes open up from free roads. However, do not try to get there at night, as accidents and robberies often occur on such routes. Most likely, due to the lack of illumination of the road and its poor security.
