Quick answer
Do you have a car, a pickup, or a scooter in Puerto Escondido? You can earn money renting it out to the travelers arriving on the Oaxaca coast. Puerto Escondido International Airport (PXM) closed 2025 with 948,590 passengers, its best figure on record according to airport statistics, and the new Barranca Larga-Ventanilla highway brought the city of Oaxaca to about 2.5 hours away. KORU RENT was born here and already operates in Puerto Escondido: you can join as a host today.
Why is renting out your car in Puerto Escondido worth it?
Puerto Escondido is no longer a secret. Its Zicatela beach, the surf capital known as the Mexican Pipeline, draws surfers from around the world, and the area is advancing toward recognition as a World Surfing Reserve. The airport (PXM) neared a million passengers in 2025 with 948,590, its all-time record according to airport statistics, and the Barranca Larga-Ventanilla highway, opened in February 2024, cut the trip from the city of Oaxaca from over six hours to about 2.5. More travelers arriving, by air and by land, means more people looking for how to get around.
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 you make it available, the season, and the price. But Puerto Escondido's advantage is that the demand is here today, with strong peaks in winter, during Easter week, and in the big-wave summer.
Which vehicles can you put to work?
Tip
In Puerto Escondido, cars and pickups with air conditioning are in good demand because of the heat and the distances between beaches; a pickup adds appeal for those traveling with surfboards, and a scooter works well for the traveler staying between Zicatela and La Punta.
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 Puerto Escondido Airport or at their lodging in Zicatela or La Punta), and you receive income when it's rented. All with a clear contract and invoice, the same formal model KORU already runs here in Puerto Escondido, its home city.
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. Puerto Escondido's advantage is demand that already exists and is growing: the airport at all-time highs, the new highway bringing visitors from the capital closer, and the international surf fame. A well-kept, available vehicle has more opportunities. You keep control of when and at what price to offer it.
“In the city where KORU was born, a parked car is an opportunity; put to work, it can pay for part of what it costs you to own it.”
