Welcome aboard! Great Question! Well it's actually not that hard they got your traditional Car rental companies out here and they also have smaller ones with cheaper prices. You can find most of the cheaper car rental places in the Facebook groups. Try checking out there. But all you need is a valid license from any country and thats it you can drive in Mexico. Hope that helps!

All depends on many factors, but a common practice is to use the deposits you have with the landlord as your last months rent that way neither party has to worry about returning a deposit.

Depends on what state of Mexico you are in. Here in the Yucatan it is a bit more difficult than in other parts of the country but it can be done. I am in the process of getting mine right now and will talk about the whole experience in an upcoming video. I could not find any brokers but i did find a driving school that says once I pass with them I can automatically get my license without any more testing. In a place like Mexico City you just walk in with some cash a CFE Bill and your ID and you get a license. Like i said each state is different, but regardless i will keep you posted
