 This Wagon doubled as a
surfboard...... by Kamran
Go to the Westin Regina Hotel and visit Manuel at the Hertz Car Rental Desk.
If you slip him some US cash under the table he gives you a great deal on cars.
I picked up this great Nissan wagon for 55 USD including all insurance and tax. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

If you are up for a serious road trip you can drive the 1000 mile penisula. I have down it several times!! If you don't have the time or desire then the best way is by plane!!
The best way to really see Cabo is to rent a car. It makes everything a lot more accessiable and easier on you!! Leave a Comment Theme: Other

Beware of gas station rip-offs at Pemex gas stations. I stopped between San Jose Del Cabo and the Los Cabos Airport to fill up my rental car before turning it in. At the Pemex gas station, the guy filling up the car asked me to check my key in the steering column. After I had done this, another guy comes up and starts asking me questions like my name, where are you from, etc. After this the guy pumping the gas points to the pump and says this is what i owe: $360Pesos. I told him I has only down 3/4 tank and was topping it up so it couldn't be that much. He then smiled and said he made a mistake and my bill was $110Pesos, which is about right. I left without leaving a tip!
My advise is to watch the guy filling up your gas tank until it finishes and shuts off. Then you know for sure what amount was put in your tank. I am sure they catch a lot of foreign tourists with this scam and get away with it. This is a major rip-off and easily performed. Please spread the word! Theme: Car/Motor Home

 Roadside Graves by LolaSanFrancisco
Maybe if we did that in the US, more people would feel uneasy about driving drunk. Some of these little monuments have photos… ere. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

Once you are in town, walking is the mode of getting around. However, if you want to wander off the beaten path, I strongly suggest a rental car. You can rent a 'bug' for a reasonable price. Take a drive out into the desert, it's safe. Leave a Comment Theme: Car/Motor Home

I thought it would be difficult to get around and that taxis would gouge me as an American tourist so I rented a car and spent way too much money just to have something to take me to and from the airport. It turns out that most hotels have shuttles available for about $15 per person each way. Much better deal. Theme: Car/Motor Home

The distance between Cabo San Lucas and Cabo San Jose is not walking distance - the Corridor stretches several kilometers in between the two towns.
Renting a car to get about in is highly recommended. If you're intending to visit both towns, having a car is definitely more convenient than flagging a taxi down, or getting on the bus (I didn't see any in the week that I was there!). If you're staying on The Corridor itself, and don't intend to spend the entire holiday on the resort grounds, then getting a car to take you into the towns is again highly recommended.
It gives you the flexibility of getting around whenever you want to, and for making little side trips. Not all tour operators (whether snorkelling, diving, horseback riding or ATV)provide hotel pick-up, so if you're planning on doing more than lazing by the pool, then definitely get a car.
Don't expect spanking new cars though, the general condition of the rental cars are clean, but not the latest models. If you're not travelling great distances, it shouldn't be a problem. They run fine, if a little rattle-y! Most of the major rental car companies (Avis, Hertz, etc) have offices either within the airport compound, or provide transfers from airport to their off-site offices.

Having a car while in Los Cabos is almost a must. There is so much to do and see at the bottom of the Baja. My wife and I are retired and long-stay 4 – 6 weeks in timeshares by using our points carefully to select efficiency units with at least a partial kitchen. Another factor in wanting a car is to be able to purchase our own food rather than rely on expensive resort meals. The incremental cost of driving a car down to Los Cabos is not significantly different from the cost of two airfares, and you have a vehicle when you get there.
I make a point of getting my Mexico car insurance before I leave home. I have used Sanborn in Yuma a number of times because they are reputable, have good emergency protocols, and provide excellent log books to assist with the navigation. A detailed map book is a helpful companion. We also travel with water and some food to avoid dubious roadside restaurants. Many of the roads are four lane, and signage is improving. The log books will identify where to stop south of the border to pick up your tourist cards and car sticker.
There are 3 routes to Los Cabos: via Laredo, Nogales and Yuma to the Topolobampo ferry to La Paz and then down to Los Cabos. Double check the Baja Ferries website to ensure that the ferry is running. The route across Mexico, via Saltillo and Mazatlan, will take about 3 days. The roads are OK but busy, particularly through the cities. It is potentially slow going over the mountains. Accommodation is not a problem. Don’t take the Mazatlan ferry unless you have no choice. The drive down from Nogales to Topolobampo takes 9 hours, so it is easy to catch the ferry the same day. It departs at 11:00 pm. This route trades off Mexico driving time for US. The drive down the Baja should be done at least once, and Yuma is a good entry point. The sights are marvelous and there are lots of side trips. Plan on 4 or 5 days, and think through overnight stays in advance. Return using the ferry, and consider a side trip to the Copper Canyon.
