Longer trips that venture into the Baja region would benefit from the comfort and performance abilities of an SUV. If staying local with hotel parking, a convertible would suit the area perfectly. Alternatively, an economy car that is compact and light on fuel is excellent for the narrow roads of the city centre.

When visiting La Paz, it will most likely be in high season when the city is the busiest. Street parking is available but will be harder to find when tourism season is in full swing. It’s often better to look for guarded car parks, which cost anything from MXN 34 (GBP 1.55) to MXN 85 (GBP 3.87) per hour. Side streets are easier to find parking on, and there are many hotels, resorts, restaurants and shopping centres offering free parking. The beaches have ample parking spots too.
