Quick answer
The requirements to rent a scooter in Puerto Escondido come down to one document: your valid driver's license, from Mexico or any other country. Same rule for an ATV or a car, and no other ID. Minimum age depends on the vehicle: as a guideline, 18 for scooters, motorbikes and ATVs, and usually 21 for cars. After you pay, you verify your license with Didit in about 2 minutes. On handover day you bring the physical license and your pickup PIN, and you authorize the deposit if the vehicle has one; it can be on a different card.
What are the requirements to rent a scooter in Puerto Escondido?
One document: your valid driver's license, whether you're renting a scooter, a motorbike, an ATV or a car. People often ask us on WhatsApp whether you really need one for an automatic scooter, and yes, you do. We don't ask for a passport or any other ID, and you don't leave one as collateral either. It can be from Mexico or any other country, as long as it's valid and you have it in your hand, because you'll photograph both sides.
What's the minimum age for a scooter, ATV or car?
At 19 you might already qualify for an ATV but not yet for a car. As a guideline, the minimum age is 18 for scooters, motorbikes and ATVs, and usually 21 for cars and SUVs. The team confirms the exact age for each vehicle: if you're right at the limit, ask before you pay, because there are no exceptions on age. And if someone else is going to drive, they have to be registered on the contract; an additional driver costs extra, and the team confirms it.
How do you verify your license with Didit after paying?
From your phone, in about 2 minutes, right after you pay. First you book on korurent.com: pick the vehicle and dates, enter your first name, last name and email, and confirm that email with a 6-digit code; we don't ask for your phone number. You pay in full, then comes the Didit verification: a photo of the front of your license, one of the back, and a selfie that's matched against your license photo. The contract is issued in the name on your license, and the rental is confirmed once you sign it. Our advice: do it as soon as you've paid, in good light, not on a Zicatela sidewalk with the host waiting.
Heads up
Check your license's expiration date before you pay, not after. Verification comes after payment, there are no exceptions on license or age, and canceling always carries a charge that depends on how far ahead you cancel. If your license expires during your trip, message us first.
Deposit: which card works and when you authorize it
The deposit isn't a charge, and that's where a lot of people get confused: it's a hold on your card, with 3D Secure, that you authorize from your account on handover day. It can be a different card from the one you paid with, and the amount depends on the vehicle; you see it before you pay. Without that authorization, there's no handover. If the rental ends with no damage and nothing pending, the hold is released after the return review period, and your bank may take a few more days.
What should you bring on handover day?
“Renting in Puerto Escondido takes less than you'd think: a valid license, about 2 minutes of verification, a signed contract, a deposit if the vehicle has one, and your PIN. What you can't fix on a La Punta sidewalk is an expired license.”
