Rental Cars
Rental car is a must for a trip to Cerritos Beach. We have heard that Cactus Rental car is the best option in this area as the price they quote includes insurance. Your US insurance will not cover it. Other car rental places, including big names you will recognize, don’t include the price for insurance until you get there. Then they overcharge you for different types of insurance. Some which you are legally required to have in Mexico and some are not required, but they will tell you it is.

Credit Cards
We have found that CapitalOne credit cards give the best exchange rate and have no foreign transaction fees.

Pesos
Don’t get pesos inside the airport when you arrive as that is the most expensive. Go all the way outside and buy a bottled water with a $20 USD bill. That will give you enough to pay for the toll road to Cerritos Beach. We use our US credit union ATM card at Banorte in Todos Santos which gives us the best exchange rate and no foreign transaction fees.
