Border trips from El Paso are popular—Ciudad Juárez sits just across the river, and I‑10 funnels you to multiple crossings. The key is to book the right product and confirm permissions in writing. Begin at our ELP car rental page to compare suppliers and insurance options side by side.
Policies differ: some suppliers allow Mexico travel only with special coverage purchased at the counter; others prohibit cross‑border travel entirely. Always bring your passport, driver’s license, and booking confirmation. For international readers, our car hire page mirrors the same pickup map and vehicles.
Smart planning moves: choose daytime crossings; keep original documents handy; and screenshot roadside assistance numbers. If your broader itinerary includes Baja or the Pacific coast, you can stage a handoff via San Diego border planning. Travelers connecting through Arizona might route via Phoenix links to Sonora, while Gulf travelers can plan flights and vehicles around Houston international connections.
What to expect at the border
- Vehicle permission must be listed in your rental agreement.
- Mexico liability coverage is often mandatory when allowed.
