Cheap Car Rentals in Mexicali

Although it's the capital of the Baja California region, Mexicali is actually a city in Mexico. Known informally as Chicali, this city sits just south of the border in the Sonoran desert.

Driving in and around Mexicali

Mexicali flights land at General Rodolfo Sánchez Taboada International Airport, which is located about 12.5 miles east of the city of Mexicali. The airport has taxi services, but cheap rental cars in Mexicali are the way to go. There are many different rental services at the airport, so you can find a deal and drive yourself straight to the city in a half hour—or longer if you get sidetracked by the surrounding areas.

The well-designed highway that drops into the Mexicali Valley offers impressive views and access to a number of interesting locations. The town of La Rumorosa has Native American cave paintings, while Laguna Salada is a vast dry lake southwest of Mexicali. The Morelos Dam offers great views of the city and its natural surroundings, and the nearby mountain range, the Sierra de Juárez, is ideal for mountaineering, hiking, photography, biking, camping, and other outdoor activities. The town of Los Algodones, meanwhile, offers snowbirds respite during the winter months and has plenty of shops and restaurants to keep you entertained. You should rent a car in Mexicali so you can easily visit these outlying points of interest.
