Car/Truck Rental

Sparetimewanted - 8-19-2021 at 08:58 PM

Visiting Loreto, then driving to Lopez Mateos for a few days, then back to Loreto for a couple days. We usually rent a van at the airport, but rates are about triple normal for vans. We need the space for ice chests, luggage and fishing gear. We are considering renting two cars, because it is a lot cheaper than one van, but not as convenient. In the states I know people who have rented u-hauls to get better rates. Is there anything similar to U-haul in Loreto? Any other ideas?

Thank you.

It's all about getting the word out. I would post on craigslist and facebook wanted section to rent someone locals van. I've been reading that there's such a shortage of rental cars a lot of people are renting out their private cars just like air bnb.
I would also call some hotels and inquire about guide services in loreto. you might find a local tourist guide cheap enough to haul you to lopez mateo for a few days and back. Buy Suerte.
