WHAT EXPATS SAY ABOUT US

Real experiences from expats we've helped in Mérida.

Connie Dos Santos

Recomienda MAYA Motors

NEED TO BUY A CAR? We had never bought a car in Mexico and were really at a loss when it came to the logistics of it all. Pol found us EXACTLY what we wanted at a very fair price. Test drives were convenient, and once we chose our car he had it at the mechanics within minutes (not exaggerating here) and photographed and videoed every step of the process. Sharing it all on WhatsApp in realtime while the Mechanic did all the tests. Pol explained every piece of paperwork, helped us get insured for a great price right away and will be helping us get our plates switched out next year.

BUYING VS. RENTING A CAR IN MÉRIDA

If you're staying in Mérida for several months or planning to live here long-term, deciding whether to buy or rent a car depends on how long you'll stay, how often you'll drive and how much flexibility you need.

BUYING MAKES MORE SENSE IF:

• You're planning to stay in Mérida longer than 7 months. • You expect to use a car regularly during your stay. • You don't mind taking responsibility for insurance, registration and maintenance. • You have enough flexibility to sell the car before you leave Mérida.

RENTING MAKES MORE SENSE IF:

• You're staying in Mérida for less than 7 months. • You're not sure how long you'll stay. • You want the flexibility to leave Mérida without having to sell a car first. • You prefer a predictable monthly cost without dealing with registration, maintenance or resale.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Yes. Foreigners can own a car in Mexico. The important part is making sure the vehicle's documentation is in order and completing the registration process correctly.

You don't have to navigate car ownership in Mérida on your own.
