Mérida car hires from $15

What type of car is recommended for driving in Mérida?For budget-conscious travelers, a smaller compact car is a good option, as the daily rate will be lower -- plus it eats up less gas. Also, a smaller car can squeeze into parking spots easier, and navigating the one-way streets may be easier, too. However, if you want to get the most out of the Mexican sun, you may want to consider a convertible instead.

Speed limits need to be adhered to and can change quite often in and around the city, so always pay attention and check for signs. Limits in Mexico are given in km/h and in the city usually a maximum of 60 km/h (37 mph) is permitted, while 10 km/h (6 mph) is the limit in school zones and parking lots. On rural roads, there is a maximum speed limit of 70-90 km/h (43-56 mph) and 110 km/h (68 mph) on highways.

Parking lots in Mérida are marked with an “E” for estacionamiento (which simply means “parking lot”). The easiest solution is to find a hotel that has a parking lot included, but there is also free street parking marked with a white line. Refrain from parking where the curb is yellow and also consider using a parking garage like the La Lonja or Canto Morell.
