Quick answer
Do you have a car, a pickup, or a scooter in Zipolite or the neighboring beaches? You can earn money renting it out to the travelers who arrive on this Oaxaca coast. Zipolite is Mexico's most famous nudist beach, and its Nudist Festival, in early February, draws thousands of visitors each year, according to the Oaxaca Tourism Secretariat. Many of them need a vehicle to move between Zipolite, Mazunte, San Agustinillo, and Puerto Ángel, because the shared vans cover the area poorly. KORU RENT already operates nearby, in Puerto Escondido, and is looking for its first hosts in Zipolite.
Why is renting out your car in Zipolite worth it?
This strip of the Oaxaca coast —Zipolite, Mazunte, San Agustinillo, and Puerto Ángel— is experiencing sustained tourism growth. Zipolite is famous as Mexico's first and only legal public beach for nudism and an openly inclusive destination, while Mazunte has been a Magic Town since 2015. Events like the Zipolite Nudist Festival, in early February, draw thousands of visitors each edition, with an estimated economic impact for the region of around 25 million pesos, according to reports from outlets like Infobae and the Oaxaca Tourism Secretariat. That flow of travelers needs to move around an area where public transport is limited.
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 the combination of spread-out beaches, limited public transport, and growing tourism demand works in favor of anyone with a vehicle available in the area.
Which vehicles can you put to work?
Tip
On this coast, the scooter has steady demand because of the short distances between beaches; a car with A/C adds appeal for the hour-long transfer from the Huatulco or Puerto Escondido airports, and a jeep attracts those seeking dirt roads and viewpoints. Each vehicle type has its audience.
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 Zipolite or when they land in Puerto Escondido or Huatulco), 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 this same coast, an hour from Zipolite.
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. This coast's advantage is demand that rises strongly in key seasons —Easter week, summer, year-end, and the early-February Nudist Festival— and holds up with travelers seeking the beaches year-round. A well-kept, available vehicle has more opportunities. You keep control of when and at what price to offer it.
“On a coast where public transport falls short, 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 Zipolite
KORU RENT was born in Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, with a formal adventure-vehicle rental model: contract, invoice, WhatsApp support, and delivery of the vehicle to where the traveler is staying. Puerto Escondido is about 70 km and close to an hour from Zipolite via Highway 200, so we're already on this same coast. We're building the host network to extend operations to Zipolite and the neighboring beaches with local fleet. We don't rent there yet, but if you have a vehicle in the area, now is the time to sign up.
