Crossing from Brownsville into Matamoros. Want to park & walk across. Best spot to leave rental overnight?

Question

I'll have a rental car and want to safely park it in the ol' USA and walk across into Mexico, I'll stay a couple of nights in Matamoros., at the Holiday Inn. Address is AV PEDRO CARDENAS 5001. I'm wondering what Border Crossing / Bridge is the best to cross, when the whole "leave the car and hotel location" thing is taken into consideration. . .

THANKS

Answer 1

As you're coming into Brownsville, you'll see that the cross streets are numbered.  Turn right on 14th this becomes Sam Perl Blvd.  There's a motel on Sam Perl--I park there like your a guest there.  Then you can continue to walk down Sam Perl to Mexico Ave. and walk through the border station. Then you're in Matamoros.

Answer 2

I really don't know where you would leave it...but I do want to say that the broad above me is psycho...she obviously doesn't get out much. Matamoros is not dangerous like other border cities. The people there are very welcoming to us Americans.

Answer 3

Oh, so you'll keep your rental car safe but you will walk your body across the border unprotected? If you got insurance on that car you should for sure drive it over there. You must not have traveled in Mexico before. In case no one told you - it's dangerous. There are still banditos waiting for gringos like you.
