Getting to the Ensenada Beach Vacation Rental, North Baja. We will provide detailed driving directions upon confirmation of receipt of your rental deposit. If you are flying to San Diego airport, you can rent a vehicle to go into Mexico at either Hertz or Avis. Be sure and advise them that you are taking the car to 90 miles into Mexico, and confirm that you have Mexican Auto Insurance on the car.
Driving your own vehicle.
