Fines for non-compliance
Driving on a restricted day can cost you a lot. With the new value of the UMA in 2026, the fines remain as follows:
-Minimum fine (20 UMAs): 2,346 pesos
-Maximum fine (30 UMAs): 3,519 pesos
Recommendations before leaving
-Always consult the official Hoy No Circula calendar.
-Review daily air quality reports.
-Stay alert to possible environmental contingencies, which may modify the rules.
Respecting Hoy No Circula not only avoids fines, it also helps reduce pollution in the Metropolitan Zone of the Valley of Mexico. Before taking the keys, confirm if your car can be driven: your wallet—and the air—will thank you.
