Driving a rental car into Mexico
I am looking to rent a car to take to Bay of L.A. Any advice on how difficult it is to rent a car in San Diego and take it all the way down there?
Also, what companies do rent cars for mexico trips? Expensive? Thanks.

Avis is the only major company I found that would allow travel past Ensenada. We rented a minivan last October, I don't know if they have changed
policy on travel into Baja California. I checked the Avis website last week and they have the online rental for $239.00 per week for a minivan.
Lastyear with rental, insurance and tax it totaled right at $400.00 for the week. Picked it up Monday @ 6 PM and returned the following Monday @ 4
PM. A full seven day rental. If a minivan will work call Avis local in San Diego to verifiy travel into Mexico and then book thru the online special.
I tried booking with the San Diego location and could not get the same deal. When I went to pick the van up I added insurance on the spot. The
small print does say you are covered if you do not drive on dirt roads. I've never seen a dirt road in BOLA, they all have rocks on 'em.

Can someone answer this authoritatively:
Is it who will rent you the car... or who will you get insurance for it from?
