Rental Car Recommendations

Mexican roads range from well-paved highways to dirt roads in rural areas. We recommend compact or mid-size cars for driving within the city. For off-road adventures, a 4X4 or an SUV would be more appropriate.

Gas Stations

Gas stations are found in abundance around the city and near the airport. 'Pemex', the national oil company, operates most of the gas stations. Make sure to fill up your rental car before returning it, as most rental companies require it.

Entering the City

The city centre is a short 24 km drive from the airport. The quickest route to downtown is via federal highway 45D.

Local Attractions and Surrounding Cities

Despite its small size, Aguascalientes has an abundance of cultural, historical, and natural attractions. Exploring them by car gives you all the flexibility you need to thoroughly enjoy them.

Final Tips

The climate in Aguascalientes is milder than in other parts of Mexico, so be sure to pack your comfy clothing. The currency used is Mexican Pesos (MXN), and it's a good idea to keep some cash handy for road tolls and parking fees.
