The BAC limit is 0.08% in Mexico - this applies to both visitors and residents. Your BAC level is a measurement of the percentage of alcohol in your bloodstream. This information is used to determine how inebriated an individual is. Driving a vehicle with a BAC higher than 0.08% is against the law in Mexico and you will be deemed as ‘driving under the influence’. Note that the legal drinking age in Mexico is 18. Steeper penalties will be given to those driving a vehicle who are under the legal drinking age.

To hire a car in Mexico, all drivers must have a valid full driving license. If the license is written in a language other than the language of the country of hire, an International Driving Permit may be required to avoid the risk of potential fines.

We recommend that you verify with the specific hire company you're booking with.
