Choosing a secure building with 24/7 security, gated access, and a well-reviewed rental provider like Rent Remote ensures additional peace of mind.

A short-term rental typically lasts a few weeks to a few months and is ideal for vacation rentals, work trips, or trial periods before relocating.

Mexico City has an extensive metro and bus system, while Guadalajara and Monterrey build light rail networks. In coastal cities, most people use bikes, colectivos (shared vans), or ride-hailing apps like Uber and Didi.
