Is it worthwhile to book a rental car in New Mexico?

Absolutely. Driving a car rental in New Mexico is the best way to see famous attractions. You can drive to Carlsbad Caverns National Park in the southeast corner of the state, then head over to White Sands National Park in the west. Don’t forget to stop in unique and interesting towns like Roswell, Sante Fe, and Las Cruces. If you enjoy history, there are many monuments and museums honoring the Native American culture in New Mexico. If you start your trip in the capital city of Albuquerque, you will have plenty of cheap car rental locations to choose from. That way, you can do a rental car comparison to find the best vehicle for your road trip.

What are the driving conditions like in New Mexico?

There is no better way to see New Mexico than by car. You can easily rent a car in New Mexico and set off on a road trip to see the state’s diverse landscape. From desert to forest, you’ll have all kinds of outdoor scenery to enjoy from your rental car. If you’re road-tripping during the summer, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. It can be really hot, and depending on where you’re headed, you may not see many gas stations, so be sure that your tank is full when you set off on your journey. Winter is fairly mild, but it can snow. If you’re traveling during the winter, make sure your rental car is equipped to handle snow or occasional ice.

What New Mexico driving laws should I be aware of?

Like in many other states, texting while driving in New Mexico is illegal. If you’re seen texting while driving your car rental, a police officer has the authority to pull you over and you will receive a ticket. Whether you decide on luxury or cheap rental cars, rental companies have liability insurance on their vehicles, so you will be insured in the state of New Mexico. You can purchase additional insurance if you would like more coverage. New Mexico also has a law making it illegal to drive if you're not paying full attention behind the wheel, so the best thing to do is stay focused on the road. One tip is to always set your location in your GPS system before hitting the road.

What type of documentation do I need to rent a car in New Mexico?

If you are a US citizen, all you need to rent a car in New Mexico is a valid driver’s license from your home state. If you’re an international visitor, you may rent a car with an international driver’s license, and in some cases, just your home country driver’s license. You may need to check with different rental companies on their policies regarding foreign driver's licenses. We recommend keeping your passport and international driver’s license with you at all times while you’re on the road.

The young man who checked out our car was very nice. He upgraded us to a larger SUV which was very helpful. We had to return our car very early to catch our flight. I expected an email confirming our return but never received one. I finally called a week later and was told it was because of short staffing. Overall it was a very good experience.

We didn't know this Avis office was located a long ways from the Albuquerque airport. We assumed it was located at the Avis rental car location where a shuttle takes you to the various agencies. WRONG!! We went to the Avis counter and found out this rental car location was located 20 miles away. By this time when we called the Avis location on 9501 Coors Blvd NW in Albuquerque, it was after 12 pm and the manager said the office closed at noon! WTF, my reservation was for noon and that is when they close!! I admit it was after 12 pm, but the manager said they would not stay open even if I left right away by taxi. They opened the next day at 8 am, but we couldn't wait until the next day so we cancelled. We never got any information for this Avis rental location that it was located a long ways from the airport and that we had to hire a taxi to get there and by the way, you had to be there by noon or they close shop for the day. They close at noon on Saturday and Sunday. They need to give the prospective renter this information. We would never have reserved with this remotely located location if we had this information. How is someone going to Albuquerque for the first time supposed to know all these pitfalls? Avis corporate needs to demand this small Avis dealer to shape up or lose their affiliation.

The office being outside of the airport reduced the cost, and the cab fare was not too expensive to get there. Pick up and drop off were both extremely easy! The car could have been washed better. We had to get some windex wipes to clean the inside of the windshield since it was very smeared and the outside mirrors were also needing to be cleaned to be able to use them.

I searched to pickup with ABQ airport. Apparently, the site placed me somewhere else. The airport location found my reservation at a different location and said it was already canceled. So they could help me, but not at the rate I reserved. I had to pay an additional $40 per day or about $200 total. So Kayak or priceline did not help me at all.

They would not call me back to confirm my reservation. I had called over a 2 day period; the day before my rental and the day of my rental. Another Hertz associate took my 3pm call to let me know they didn't have any availability and the associate I had been speaking with would be back in 10 minutes. She at least tried to help but the vehicle she found was not big enough. Luckily, Budget had a van I could rent and pick up at 4pm. I've been a loyal Hertz customer for years but this experience has ended Hertz receiving my hard earned money.

Pick up/drop off was fine. The problem was being upcharged for a car that was in no way an improvement. All basic features/nothing special in the car. The sales procedure for trying to upcharge customers at pickup is not welcoming. Just give them a good vehicle at the price they reserved.

We made a reservation and have an expectation that the reservation will be ready when we arrive. It took over 2 hours to get the car we reserved after we arrived at the Thrifty counter; UNACCEPTABLE! After we were finally called to get the car, we said that waiting so long was not something customers should be subjected to and that telling us that the wait would only be 20 minutes was done to keep the customer from gong to another rental company. The agent said if we were not happy that we could rent elsewhere. Also, the window film was so thick hat we had to pull over to clean the inside of the windshield ourselves. Lastly, Thrifty reported the gas tank as full, however, the tank was 3/4 full. Lies and poor service unlike any other auto rental experience I have ever had.
