There is a very helpful emergency number you can dial, it works like the 911, and they speak English, 24/7, the number is 066, and you can dial from any part of the state, they receive the call in Hermosillo.
Here is some good advice we got from a couple we met in San Carlos one time. They told us that they like to carry cash, and they always prefer to carry small bills like, ones, fives, and tens. We asked them why that is? They said it make it so much easier to get change when you go shopping, or buy items, or just having fun around town. Usually, if you pay with a big bill like a $20 bill, especially early in the morning, they won’t have any change or you will get your change in Pesos. They do accept Visa and Master Card at most businesses in San Carlos, including the Pemex gas station. Remember, many places give you a receipt in Pesos, so please don’t think you paid $600 for 4 people to eat dinner. You paid $600 Pesos which is $60 dollars.
The road to Guaymas - San Carlos, highway #15, is well known to have the wonderful Green Angels looking out for your well being. Green Angels (Angeles Verdes) are traveling mechanics that will help motorist in distress. They drive green and white pickup trucks. They may have to charge a small fee if a part is needed, but they will not charge you if no parts are needed and the repair can be made. Tips are always welcome, and a very kind gesture for such great service.
We will have more information for you very soon. Thank you.
Yes. There are rental agencies that do allow their cars, trucks or vans into Mexico . Most of the time, (almost always), they require you to purchase auto insurance through them, which can be somewhat costly.
You are allowed 10 pounds of Shrimp or Fish, and 1 Liter of alcohol per person. Remember, if you are returning to the US, and you buy any alcohol at the Duty Free store next to Mota’s Transport, you have to take the purchase and walk to the US Border Office across the street, enter the building to answer a quick question, and then return to your vehicle for the ride home.

Yes, but only domestic animals (dogs and cats) are allowed into Mexico . You will need a current rabies vaccination certificate, in case they ask you at the border.
It is very possible, yes, but don’t be alarmed. It is really a very simple process. When you arrive at the border, drive slowly to the spot with the stop signs. Continue to drive slow and keep your eyes to your left side. You will either see it flash red saying Alto (stop), or green Pase (go). If it said Pase, do just that. Go one your way and begin the last four hours of your trip. If it said Alto, just pull over where they direct you and answer any questions they have. Usually, it is “Where is your destination”, or they may look in the trunk really quick and then you are on your way.
