KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Zihuatanejo

  • When planning a trip to the coastal city of Zihuatanejo, you should consider getting a rental car to help you move around the city easily. With car rentals in Zihuatanejo, you can easily check out some of the top attractions in the city such as Museo Arqueológico de la Costa Grande which is a few miles West of the city center. If you fancy a relaxing day at the beach, your rental car gives you the convenience of visiting Manzanillo Beach which is on one end of the city, and Playa Contramar which is on the other end of the city. This is a privilege you wouldn’t get when using public transport because of its inconvenience.
  • If you are coming to Zihuatanejo by air, you can pick up your Zihuatanejo car rentals at Ixtapa-Zihuatanejo International Airport (ZIH). The airport hosts multiple rental agencies including popular names such as Alamo, Europcar, Thrifty, and Fox Rent-A-Car among others. To get your rental from the airport, you will need to consult with the rental agencies at their desks which are located in the arrivals area just after baggage claim. After you’re done consulting the rental agency and you have selected the rental you want, you will then be led to the rental car park where you can pick up your car and drive off.
  • When driving around the streets of Zihuatanejo, you need to exercise a lot of caution and beware of pedestrians who sometimes cross the road in undesignated crossing areas. In addition to that, you should note that most roads in the city don’t have designated cycling lanes so be aware of the cyclists and motorcycle users who share the road. Lastly, when turning at intersections, ensure you use your indicator and check your mirrors to avoid accidents with other cyclists who have no regard for traffic lights.
