Transportation within Mexico City
Unfortunately, when it comes to traffic and where to park, the city can be quite chaotic. Therefore, if you are only visiting the city area forget about renting a car or bringing your own. The best option to move around is definitely the Metro/Subway system, but taxis, Uber, and public transportation are also viable alternatives.
However, if you are interested in visiting the city’s surrounding areas as well we recommend renting a car.
Car Rentals
We suggest you find a rental here
Metro/ Subway
This is the cheapest and one of the best ways of moving around the city.
Uber and Taxi
Probably the easiest way around the city.

If you are planning on hopping into a taxi make sure you call one from a taxi station. Grabbing a cab from the streets can be dangerous.
We recommend public transportation to seasoned travelers and those who are fluent in Spanish only.

Do Not wear flashy cloths and accessories like jewelry and watches.
