Emergency info for guests in Mexico (rental template)

Mexico uses 911 nationwide, which surprises some European guests. The 078 tourist assistance line is worth adding too: it helps visitors with information, consulates and the Ángeles Verdes roadside service. Many homes run on LP gas tanks, so the gas steps here mention the tank valve.

We checked these numbers in November 2026, but services change, so please confirm them locally before you print or share the page.

  • Carbon monoxide alarm: get everyone into fresh air straight away and call 911. Don't go back in until you're told it's safe.

  • Lost keys or locked out: call [Host phone], or [Backup contact name and phone]. Please don't climb in through a window.

Beach and weather

  • Please follow the lifeguards and the beach flags. A red flag means it isn't safe to swim.
