Green Motion is the cheapest company at Tijuana Airport for an Intermediate car over the last 12 months, averaging £27 a day, but you need a credit card and cannot check a review score yet. Green Motion has an airport desk, averages a 31-minute pickup wait and does not yet have enough reviews for a score. For the same class over the last 12 months, Alamo averages £42 a day from 1,141 prices, £15 more a day, with an 81/100 review score and a 12-minute desk wait.

You need a credit card at Tijuana Airport because none of the 9 companies takes debit cards, and typical deposits range from £151 with Budget to £3,030 with National. If you only have a debit card, filter for debit-card acceptance before comparing prices rather than choosing one of these credit-only counters. Check the deposit and card rule beside each car against your available credit. Extras charged at the desk are listed under each car.

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

For a work trip with luggage, start with an Intermediate car such as a Volkswagen Jetta at Tijuana Airport, averaging £43 a day for November 2026 when booked around a month before your trip. The Intermediate class seats 5 but takes 3 bags; step down to a Compact car such as a Nissan March at £38 a day for November 2026 around a month before your trip if that smaller class suits you. A Fullsize car such as a Toyota Camry averages £92 a day for November 2026 at the same lead time and seats 7 but still takes only 3 bags, so extra seats do not solve a luggage shortfall. Over the last 12 months, 83% of cars offered are automatic, so you have a broad choice, but across the full period tracked an automatic Intermediate car averages £61 a day from 17,227 prices, £20 more a day than a manual Intermediate car at £41 from 2,126 prices. Electric and hybrid cars are not among the cars offered over the last 12 months, so choose another powertrain.
