For starters, it is important to note that speeding is the easiest way to get a ticket. Speed limits around Puerto Vallarta are posted in kilometres per hour rather than miles per hour, so it is important to note that to avoid confusion. Most roads in Puerto Vallarta are fitted with topes which are small speed bumps that are widely employed around town to limit speeding and keep the pedestrians safe. In case of any doubt, you can always check with the Jalisco DMV to avoid getting in trouble.

What kind of driving license do you need to hire a car in Puerto Vallarta?

To get rental cars in Puerto Vallarta, you will need to provide a valid driving license with a photo ID. The license shouldn’t be expiring any time before the end of the rental agreement; otherwise, you will not be able to get the car. Also, a credit card would be necessary, and it has to be from a major company such as Visa or Mastercard. There are some agencies that will accept American Express. An international driving license isn’t necessary for foreigners, but some rental companies will insist on seeing a valid passport.
