MXN 50–600 per toll plaza; a full trip on the Mexico City–Acapulco autopista costs approximately MXN 800–1,000
Toll roads (autopistas) are significantly safer and faster than free alternatives (carreteras libres). Tolls can be expensive for long journeys. IAVE/TAG electronic transponders are available but not widely used by tourists.

Tips til parkering
- In tourist areas, unofficial parking attendants (viene-viene) may wave you into spots and expect a tip of MXN 10–20
- Never leave valuables visible in your parked car — use hotel or guarded parking lots whenever possible
- In Mexico City, the ecoParq metered parking system operates in many neighborhoods — pay via app or at meters
Gennemsnitlige omkostninger: MXN 15–50/hour in metered zones; MXN 100–300/day in private parking garages
Almindelige fejl, som turister begår
- 1Not purchasing Mexican auto insurance — US and Canadian policies are not valid in Mexico, and driving without insurance can lead to jail time after an accident
- 2Not watching for topes (speed bumps) — they are extremely common, often unmarked, and can damage your vehicle at speed
- 3Driving at night on rural highways — poor lighting, animals on the road, and security concerns make night driving risky
- 4Ignoring Hoy No Circula restrictions in Mexico City — certain vehicles are banned from driving on specific days based on license plate numbers
