What happens if I need to cancel my Chapala car reservation?
We have good news! You should get all of your money back if you advise us more than six hours prior to the scheduled pickup time. Your itinerary contains details about this, and so does our Customer Service Portal. Not all prepaid reservations will receive a refund though, so it’s a good idea to check the home policy.
What types of cars can I rent in Chapala?
Consider a full-size car. Whether it’s because of their large interiors or features like sunroofs and heated seats, they’re the most popular home category in Chapala. Larger than a standard car, five adults will easily fit in a full-size. You can always go smaller, though. Compact and economy rides are great for cruising around busy cities. Want to do it in style? Book a premium home.
Where can I go on a road trip from Chapala?
Book a rental car, collect the keys and get set to discover all Chapala has to offer. But with so much to see in the surrounding areas, don’t let your journey stop there! Set your navigation system to some of the other interesting places in the region:

  • Boasting attractions and experiences galore, Manzanillo is approximately 177 kilometres from Chapala. First up on the itinerary? Make your way to Zocalo, one of the city’s biggest highlights.
  • Another destination that’s a favourite with travellers is León, around 177 kilometres away. León Stadium is just one of the many reasons people love coming here.
  • Get away from the busy city at Pena de Bernal. Approximately 338 kilometres from Chapala, it’s a gorgeous place to reconnect with nature.

How do I find the best car rental deals in Chapala with Expedia?

How old do you have to be to rent a car in Chapala?
Drivers have to be at least 21. But there are some age-related rules to be aware of before you lock in your wheels in Chapala. If you’re a younger motorist, home providers will likely charge an additional fee and limit the types of cars you’re able to rent. The amount of the surcharge, and which age range it applies to, varies between suppliers. Take your time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Chapala?
Before you can take the wheel in Chapala, you’ll need a driver’s license and a credit card in the same name. If you choose not to take out the home company’s insurance plan, you may also have to provide proof of your own coverage. Requirements can vary, so read the contract terms and conditions before you select a home company.
What side of the road do you drive on in Chapala?
Traffic drives on the right and passes on the left in Mexico — the same as in the States. Road-tripping around Chapala won’t be exactly like home, though. You’ll want to brush up on the local traffic rules.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Chapala?
Expedia makes it a breeze to find a quality long-term holiday home in Chapala. Simply click on our long-term car rental deals page, enter your details and compare your possibilities.
Where can I find a Chapala car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you’re a younger driver looking for a car rental in Chapala, you’ll need to check the policies of the car rental companies you’re interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25 some may not. There may be additional costs if you’re aged between 21 and 24. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the holiday home counter, make sure you know what to expect.
