About Renting a Car at Mexico City South

A car is the perfect way to explore southern Mexico City and the surrounding neighborhoods such as Coyoacán, with its colorful colonial streets and Frida Kahlo's famous blue house. From here it's just a short drive to Xochimilco, where you can take a traditional trajinera along the ancient canals, and continuing south along the highway toward Puebla you reach the impressive volcanic landscape around Popocatépetl in about two hours. If you want to explore the Aztec past, Teotihuacán with its mighty pyramids is accessible in just over an hour north via Circuito Interior.

The best time to travel is November to April, when Mexico's central plateau offers cool and sunny weather without the rainy season's downpours.

We compare prices from all major providers at Mexico City South so you can see the total cost upfront - including insurance, fuel terms and any extras. Most bookings include free cancellation up to 48 hours before pickup, giving you flexibility if your plans change.
