Airport terminal: Counters sit next to or inside arrivals, so pickup is quick and easy. Land, grab your luggage and be on your way.
Free shuttle bus: The rental office isn't inside the terminal area. Instead, a free bus takes you to a nearby site where the car is collected.

Want to avoid waiting in line at the rental counter? Some providers offer self-service pickup, where you collect your keys from a kiosk or lockbox instead of a desk. No queuing for keys, no in-person paperwork, just more time on the road.
Europcar car rental at Puerto Vallarta Airport: What you need to know
Transmission: Choose between 'Automatic' (takes care of the gear changes for you) and 'Manual' (stick shift). Most car rental providers have both, so use the 'Transmission' filter to find what you prefer.
Fuel policy: Avoid unnecessary costs by choosing a vehicle with a 'Fair fuel policy.' You pick up the car full and bring it back full, meaning you only pay for fuel you've used.
Mileage limits: Select 'Unlimited mileage' under the 'Policies' filter so you can roam wherever the road takes you without added mileage charges.
Side of the road: If it's your first time driving in Mexico, remember that traffic here keeps to the right side of the road.
