Deposits held on your card at Guadalajara Airport range from £254 with Sixt to £2,954 with National, and none of the 13 companies take a debit card.

If you bring your own child seat, check your airline's rules first: most carry one free, some charge.

The biggest trap at Guadalajara Airport is arriving without an accepted credit card, as all 13 desks refuse debit cards for the security deposit. Desk waits can also vary wildly from 2 minutes with Routes to 48 minutes with Europcar. National holds £2,954 on your card, so a modest credit limit will fail before you ever leave the terminal. Make sure your card has enough room to absorb a high hold alongside your travel spending.

A Compact car like the Nissan Kicks balances cost and space at Guadalajara Airport, quoted at £25 a day for October 2026 booked about a month ahead. It seats 5 but takes 3 bags, so a larger group with luggage will prefer an Intermediate like the Chevrolet Aveo, which takes 4 bags for £28 a day. For lighter luggage, an Economy car like the Nissan March seats 5 with 2 bags and is quoted at £22 a day for October 2026. Automatic cars make up 81% of offers, so finding one is straightforward even though an automatic costs £14 more a day than a manual.
