Taking a rental car from the US into Mexico. Issues?
I'm getting a rental car for July 4th weekend, and it's likely that we'll be heading into Mexico during that time. I made a reservation with Budget@LAX, but they didn't ask where we were going, and I NEVER rent cars so I didn't bother to mention that we might head down south. Now people are saying that there are rules and regulations about taking a rental car into Mexico?
I have no car agency status, though my plat. AMEX gives me Hertz Gold membership; no idea if that means anything.
So what's the deal, FT? Should I call Budget? Cancel the reservation there and make one elsewhere? We're really going by the seat of our pants on this weekend, so I have no idea where we'll end up!
