When you rent a car from Enterprise, you have the flexibility to customize your trip. Enjoy the fun things you want to do when it is convenient for your schedule – no one else’s. Interested in seeing the Zocalo up close and personal? Or would you rather take a leisurely stroll through the Oaxaca Textile Museum?
