Driving in Mexico
Before you pick up your Sixt car hire in Mexico, you should be aware that the rules of the road may be different from what you are used to.
- For example, when entering or leaving towns or villages, look out for ""topes"" or speed bumps. These can be hard to see and may not be signposted, so be sure to slow down when approaching a town.
- When in towns, be aware that traffic rules might go against your expectations - sometimes at a three-lane junction, vehicles from the two right-hand lanes may cross the left lane to make a left turn. The left-lane driver should give way to the drivers making the turn.
Finally when driving in Mexico you should be alert to animals in the road, especially in the countryside - you could be sharing the road with cows, horses or even donkeys.
