Fossil fuel car use is an ecologically/environmentally bad thing - full stop ... Unfortunately, however, for many people it's also a necessity so it's necessary to make compromises and take the best of several bad options.

Clearly walking and cycling are best! Not feasible for long journeys nor on all terrains - need to use intermediate transport. Clearly travelling any long distance is best done by 'bus or train (alhough I gather there are no longer any trains in Mexico ).

Hiring a car at a destination is better than driving your own a thousand miles (or whatever)! There are some places where you can hire electric cars, motorbikes &c(not Harleys ) - this seems a good option, always worth seeking out.
