r/BajaCaliforniaSur

Hello: I have a car booked (but not paid for yet) through Alamo. It includes third party liability insurance and roadside assistance, and is cheaper than Cactus, and for a more deluxe car.

I saw many people's comments that Hertz has very misleading prices online, and saw one person's comment who had a good experience with Alamo. Wondering if anyone else can chime in about whether I am likely to be hit with additional fees upon check in at Alamo. The Hertz website would provide zero information about the cost of insurance, whereas Alamo's seemed transparent.

Traveling to La Paz with our kiddos (4 and 8). Looking for some recommendations on places to stay/things to see. Thank you ☺️

We have never been to La Paz but coming soon for a vacation. I can't find any good/active Facebook groups to ask these questions so I'm hoping for some help here.

What is your go-to place, first meal when you get here kind of place? We are not going to have a car but we are good walking all over. Staying at the Vista Coral condos.

Hi there

Will be going to La Paz soon and planning on renting a car for just a couple days to road trip down to los Cabos down the eastern route, so via los barriles y los frailes etc for a couple of nights of camping.

I'm wondering if we need a jeep or car equipped for off roading or if the roads are fine all the way through.

Also cheekily going to ask if anyone has an affordable rental company in mind? Not looking to break the bank, just get from A to B with a tent in the back 🤠

Hi—

Planning a trip to Baja for late May and early June. It will be myself and my two young adult kids and their friends. Will Los Barriles be too hot and windy to enjoy?

We’d like to spend time on the beach and maybe head to La Paz for a snorkel trip. Would like a town with casual restaurant options and maybe a fun bar or two.

We will have a car and plan to stay in an Airbnb.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on Los Barriles or suggestions for other towns to stay in. La Paz sounds nice but we want to be able to stay on (or very near to) a swimmable beach. thanks!!
