It's actully cheaper to do this, even factoring the cost of the bus - a four day rental with National, around the 4th of july weekend, intermediate car, is $67 total.

Or better still, don't drive into Mexico. Park at the Tijuana border and walk across. If you are going no further south than Rosarito Beach or Ensenada, it's a short bus or taxi ride (20 mins to Rosarito, 60-90 mins to Ensenada.)

If you are staying in Tijuana, you don't need a car.
