Jorge Camacho, the candidate of the conservative National Action Party, said Saturday that unknown gunmen hit the car more than 20 times with high-caliber guns after a campaign event late Friday.
"My team is out of danger," said Camacho, who posted pictures on Facebook showing the sport-utility vehicle with several bullet holes.
The attack took place on the road that links the beach resorts of Acapulco and Zihuatanejo when the campaign's operations coordinator and driver stopped for fuel.
After the two men identified themselves as campaign workers, the gunmen said they had made a mistake and apologized, said Camacho's spokesman Juan Manuel Millan.
Another gubernatorial candidate, former Acapulco mayor Luis Walton, said around 20 armed men pointed their guns at his convoy in April and prevent him from reaching the town of Chilapa, which has seen a wave of violence.
Two candidates for mayor have been murdered ahead of the elections, the first ballot box test of President Enrique Pena Nieto's embattled administration.
Mexicans will vote to renew the 500-member lower chamber of Congress as well as choose nine state governors and nearly 900 municipal offices.
