Quick answer
Do you have a car, a pickup, or a scooter in Oaxaca? You can earn money renting it out to the travelers arriving in the cultural capital of the south. Oaxaca received more than 6.28 million tourists in 2025, according to the state Tourism Secretariat, and many need a vehicle to get around Monte Albán, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, and the mezcal route. KORU RENT was born in Oaxaca, operates today in Puerto Escondido, and is looking for its first hosts in the capital.
Why is renting out your car in Oaxaca worth it?
Oaxaca concentrates a large and sustained tourism demand. The state closed 2025 with more than 6.28 million tourists and an economic impact of 23.348 billion pesos, according to the Oaxaca Tourism Secretariat; and the Guelaguetza alone drew more than 143,000 visitors in July, with hotel occupancy of 81.69%. That steady flow translates into people who, on arriving in the capital, look for how to get around: to Monte Albán, the Tule Tree, Mitla, Hierve el Agua, or along the mezcal route.
That's 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're not talking about guaranteed income: what you earn depends on your vehicle, the days available, the season, and the price. But few destinations combine such a strong cultural identity, clear demand peaks (Guelaguetza, Day of the Dead, December), and the need to move around the Central Valleys.
Which vehicles can you put to work?
Tip
In Oaxaca, fuel-efficient compact cars are in steady demand because of the Central Valleys distances; a pickup or a jeep adds appeal for those seeking Hierve el Agua off the pavement, and a scooter works well for the city traveler.
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 the center or at Xoxocotlán airport), and you receive income when it's rented. All with a clear contract and invoice, the same formal model KORU already runs in Puerto Escondido, on the coast of the same state.
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 don't promise guaranteed income or coverage we can't 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. Oaxaca's advantage is a cultural demand that doesn't stop and with very marked peaks: the Guelaguetza in July, Day of the Dead in late October, and the December season fill the city. A well-kept, available vehicle has more opportunities. You keep control of when and at what price to offer it.
“In the cultural capital of the south, 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 Oaxaca
KORU RENT was born in Oaxaca, in Puerto Escondido, with a formal adventure-vehicle rental model: contract, invoice, WhatsApp support, and delivery of the vehicle to where the traveler is staying. That model already operates on the state's coast, and the capital, Oaxaca de Juárez, is the next step. In the city we haven't launched yet, but we're building the host network to launch with local fleet. We're not arriving from outside: we're arriving from home. If you have a vehicle in the capital, now is the time to sign up.
