Quick answer
Do you have a car, a pickup, or a scooter in Mazunte or on the Oaxaca coast? You can earn money renting it out to the travelers arriving on this strip. Mazunte has been a Magic Town since 2015 according to the Secretaría de Turismo, and its visitors land in Huatulco (847 thousand passengers in 2024 according to ASUR) or Puerto Escondido (over 850 thousand the same year) and need a vehicle to move between scattered beaches with no local airport. KORU RENT already operates an hour away, in Puerto Escondido, is preparing its arrival in Mazunte, and is looking for its first hosts.
Why is renting out your car in Mazunte worth it?
Mazunte lives on nature and beach tourism. As a Magic Town on the Oaxaca coast —a distinction granted by the Secretaría de Turismo in 2015— it receives a steady flow of domestic and international travelers arriving through the Huatulco and Puerto Escondido airports, which together handled close to 1.7 million passengers in 2024 according to the airport groups. And here is a key detail: Mazunte has no airport of its own, the beaches are scattered, and public transport is limited, so whoever arrives needs a way to get around.
That is where your vehicle comes in. A car, a pickup, or a scooter that sits idle for days can become a source of income that covers part of your registration, insurance, or maintenance. We are not talking about guaranteed income: what you earn depends on your vehicle, the days available, the season, and the price. But the Oaxaca coast combines demand that grows every year with the real need to move between beaches and towns that public transport does not connect well.
Which vehicles can you put to work?
Tip
On the Oaxaca coast, scooters and compact cars are in high demand because of how practical it is to move between beaches; a pickup adds appeal for groups with luggage and boards, and a jeep for those seeking beaches off the pavement.
How does hosting with KORU work?
The idea is simple: you provide the vehicle, KORU provides the platform. You register your car, KORU manages the booking, the contract, and the delivery coordination with the traveler (for example, at their lodging in Mazunte or coordinated from the Huatulco or Puerto Escondido airports), and you receive income when it is rented. All with a clear contract and invoice, the same formal model KORU already runs in Puerto Escondido, an hour from Mazunte via Highway 200.
The details of vehicle protection during the rental, the requirements, and the commissions are confirmed when you register as a host [VERIFY with KORU]. We do not promise guaranteed income or coverage we cannot back up: we prefer to be clear from the start.
How much can I earn?
The honest answer is: it depends. Income varies with the type of vehicle, how many days you make it available, the season, and the price. The Oaxaca coast's advantage is demand that grows with the destination's tourism, with strong peaks in high season, Easter week, and long weekends. A well-kept, available vehicle has more opportunities. You keep control of when and at what price to offer it.
“On a coast of scattered beaches with no local airport, a parked car is an opportunity; put to work, it can pay for part of what it costs you to own it.”

KORU RENT and hosts in Mazunte
KORU RENT was born in Puerto Escondido, on the same Oaxaca coast and a little over an hour from Mazunte via Highway 200, with a formal adventure-vehicle rental model: contract, invoice, WhatsApp support, and delivery of the vehicle to where the traveler is staying. That model is expanding along the coast, and Mazunte is one of the next destinations. We do not operate there yet, but we are building the host network to launch with local fleet. If you have a vehicle in the area, now is the time to sign up.
