I think you'll find that most of the major rental car companies are in both Tijuana and La Paz.
I drove from Loreto to Tijuana with a Fox rental last year. The one-way rental is pretty expensive, I think it added more than $500 to my rental. I
was told by a Fox guy in Tijuana that because my rental had BCS plates, he would have to drive it back to Loreto. He said he does the drive quite
often.

thanks! if you really mean 500usd and not mxn when you cited additional cost, the rental itself may be beyond my range. may I ask what you total cost
was?

It was $500+ USD for the one-way fee. The rental was a Jeep 4x4 which isn't cheap to begin with, and maybe the one-way fee is proportional to the
rental cost. I cannot recall exactly how much it ended up being. Maybe the rental was $200 or $300 for three or four days or something, plus the
one-way fee.
Best to call and check.

There' hardly a Buick made that's worth 500 bucks. Buy it and leave it.
Every beautiful beach in the world needs a few condo towers - NOT.

oh, I totally would, and do when I am sola, but I am driving 3 others. I like another nomad's idea of buying a jalopy and ditching it, tho, except it
might be a little unreliable for tourists. those of us who have been nomading the baja for a few years know to always expect problems and always
expect help.
thanks, all, I'm good now
