Cons: “Mandatory” minimum liability coverage is a $30/day charge that the agent surprised us with last minute. She said you can’t decline it. Not shown in online totals. Reso went from $17 TOTAL to $210.

Pros: Nothing.
Cons: We were forced to purchase liability insurance for $200 for 4 days and 30 miles driven that was a complete surprise. The rental was supposed to be $12 and ended up being $212. Deceptive.

Pros: The staff was helpful at Alamo
Cons: The cost was over 4 times what was quoted through Kayak, because of additional expenses required for insurance and fees upon checkout. This was incredibly misleading and cost over $300 more than I was quoted through Kayak, which is an exorbitant difference for a customer to have to absorb.

Cons: Don't know what it is about Cancun car rentals but they are always trying to say you dented or damaged the car. We have been falsely charged before for damage that clearly we didn't do. I was hoping Alamo would be different but it wasn't. Thankfully, we took a video of the entire car incl. under.

Cons: The car I reserved was "unavailable" so was sent to a partner car agency. The rate was higher and then was hit with the mandatory liability insurance. What was a $2 per day reservation turned in to $37 a day plus a $150.00 deposit.

Horrible experience
Cons: Our flight was delayed and they cancelled our reservation. Agent at the counter offered an alternative with another company (something nded like something under the table) for five times the cost of my original reservation. In the end we were left without a car.

Get ready for hidden fees
Pros: Easy shuttle to the car rental. Good car
Cons: You are forced into hidden fees. The rental price does not include mandatory insurance. Expect to pay 4x what you book. Checking the car back in was also a little bit of a mess.

Ran out of car seats
Pros: Price looked good online
Cons: We arrived early in the morning only to find they were new car seats. What do you do in a foreign country with a two and four-year-old without a car seat? This place sucks.

Dishonest Staff National
Pros: nothing positive
Cons: 1.I reserved, via Kayak.com, an “intermediate SUV or similar” for six (6) days in Cancun, Mexico for $110.08. the reservation said that it included “all taxes and fee”. 2.When I arrive I was told I had to purchase 3rd party insurance for 50 dollar a day. When I questioned the teller I determined that the legal minimum was really $26.00 per day (6*26+ 18% tax=$184.08. This more than doubled by initial reservation price. My new expected total is $294.08, wait it gets better. 3.The first SUV they checked out did not have a working seat beat. The second car they tried to put us in would not start at all. Finally the 3rd vehicle, a minivan, had working seatbelts and would start. The AC was struggling but we had to get going so we accepted it. I took pictures of the first two vehicles but by the 3rd van I was tired and forgot to take picture with my phone for later reference/proof; this will be important later. This process took 2 hours to pickup our “SUV”. This wasted daylight as I had to drive 5 hours to Merida that afternoon. 4.For Six (6) days the van was mediocre adequate for our needs. 5.I return the vehicle with a full tank of gas; I take a video of the exterior and Interior. The attendant filled out the damage assessment as “all good” but missing the front license plate. He stated that it was a $50 US dollar charge. I didn’t have picture showing the plate there or not; so I signed the report stating such. I was willing to eat a 50 dollar charge. 6.I was not given a copy of the report showing “no damage” 7.I was not given a final bill. 8.They said that everything was fine and I would receive an email with the bill later. I never did. 9.My credit card was billed $606.08 vs Kayak reservation price of $110.08. 10.I am currently working with my credit card, Discover, who are doing an awesome job disputing this fraudulent bill. I also called National US customer service and was able to determine the extra charge was from a $300 (5000 Pesos) charge due to "damage". Remember I was told everything was good, no damage. Right dishonest staff. My advice is to search online to read the reviews prior to renting in Cancun. National is one of the worst. Taxis and Uber appear to be the way to go to avoid the bait and switch.

Know about renting in mexico
Pros: National was great! The sales rep was really nice and honest which is rare for a car rental place.
Cons: Realize in Mexico you have to get insurance which adds to your rate. Actually US insurance companies often don't cover cars in Mexico so it's best to get full coverage. Adds like 30 per day.

BRING PROOF OF THIRD PARTY LIABILITY COVERAGE
Pros: Staff was friendly.
Cons: You must bring proof of third party liability coverage if you do not wish to purchase any insurance. Our 9 day rental was to cost US$46.18 through priceline. Since we did not bring proof of third party liability, we paid over US$280. This should be listed under 'important information' in the booking itinerary. Not cool.

Waited 2 hours for shuttle and paid 50% more than
Pros: Car was clean, and drop off was easy.
Cons: Waited 2 hours at the Cancun airport for the National Shuttle to arrive. Guy kept saying it should be here any minute. We could have walked there and back 10 times if he would have told us where it was. When we finally got to the rental car office, they told us our quote did not include insurance that was mandatory. Even though all other rental car companies did include this in their quote. Then, tried to give us a lower level car than what we booked for the same price. I was at least able to pull up the confirmation email to show the car level I had booked. After all of this, we ended up losing 4 hours of our vacation and paying 50% more that expected. Totally going with Hertz next time. Saw shuttles every 5 minutes, and quoted us a lower price at the airport and assured it was with the mandatory insurance.

One way or another you're going to end up paying the rate they want
Pros: Everything about Enterprise is great as long as you don't mind they are not located at the airport but just a bit north of the airport along the main highway.
Cons: I had a seemingly very good deal for a Jetta including the mandatory liability insurance, but it turned out when picking up the car that the included insurance only covered the car up to 75,000 MXN and the coverage needs to be 2,500,000 MXN so that raised the rates by $10 per day and then I also had to pay an extra $30 for an extra day although my pickup date/time and return date/time were basically what I originally entered into Expedia. I'm positive that all the agencies are playing these monetary shell games so the only distinguishing factor across agencies is the level of service and how picky they are about the condition of the car when returned.

Pros: I accidentally booked a manual transmission, and at the counter the man switched us to an automatic brand new car. Their airport shuttle was ready and waiting both times, they were friendly and very helpful. I didn't feel bamboozled by the insurance situation. It was breezy renting from this Enterprise. Would totally rent from them again.
Cons: Everything was great - not a single issue!

You do NOT get E Plus points from the Cancun location -
Pros: Very nice staff. Efficient given the extensive paper documents and countless signatures.
Cons: Insurance is 3x the cost of the car rental. No E Plus points. No ability to make a reservation using E Plus points. This place licenses the Enterpprise brand - as do many non-USA locations.

NOT LOCATED BY THE AIRPORT, SURPRISE YOU WITH "REQUIRED" INSURANCE
Pros: Car itself was clean and functional.
Cons: - I selected this location because it was in the airport. It is not. It is a 15 minute bus ride away. There is a shuttle, but I only found out about the shuttle at the airport, because I couldn't find their office, and it helped that I speak Spanish fluently. - When you make the reservation on the website, there is nothing stating that you have to buy their insurance. Yet when I got there they gave me no option. They say my credit card doesn't cover it. Had I known, I could have been prepared to show the necessary insurance policy to show my coverage. The insurance was 3 times more than the actual rental rate. - Not at all what I thought I was getting in terms of price, convenience or location. Kayak you need to take responsibility and update your site as it currently has incorrect and inaccurate information, which I depended on when making my reservation.

Best car rental experience I've had in mexico
Pros: Friendly shuttle driver and super friendly rental agent. You just have to get over the fact that any time you rent in Mexico, you are required to buy liability coverage, which always feels like highway robbery. This is true with every rental company. If you can't get over this, then you should not rent in Mexico.

Cons: The staff member who went over the contract and additional fees/charges was not clear or open about all the various charges that would be added on to our base rate. Throughout the course of our trip, we realized that both hubcaps on the drivers side were not the right size for the wheel/tire and were attached with zip ties. While driving around on surface streets and highways, both drivers side hubcaps came off because they were not appropriately attached.

Weren’t able to rent a car!
Pros: Nothing
Cons: I reserved a minivan for our family of 6 traveling together. When we arrived at the Thrifty counter, they told me they didn’t have a minivan for me. I said I made a reservation, he told me that since I didn’t prepay for the rental(which I didn’t know was an option) they didn’t have one for me to rent. We then had to scramble and try to find new transportation to/from the airport to our hotel. I will never rent through this website or Thrifty again

Fraudulent price scams
Cons: I was very upset that Kayak advertised the rental as being $8. We reserved the car at this price, and arrived in Cancun to be surprised with a whopping amount of insurance fees which amounted to over $400. If we refused the insurance and used our credit card's insurance for the car, then we had to pay $1300.00 to the rental car company, which obviously made no sense. Absolutely infuriating to be surprised with this tremendous rate differencce, and found ourselves in a position of helplessness last minute. Would never rent again here.

Simple and easy
Pros: They communicated clearly via email before we arrived. The rental was inexpensive. I used my Amex card for insurance and there was no pressure to buy more insurance. They simply placed the $2500 hold on my card. The car ran fine and we had a great trip! We took lots of pictures when we picked the car up and had no problems with the drop off.

Cons: Basically forced us to take the additional insurance at $45 per day. If declined they wanted a $3000 deposit on the car. Never had that experience elsewhere

Pros: Quality of the cars
Cons: Time for waiting to be attended at the pickup/returns area. The price structure for the insurance where you have to leave 2000 on deposit on the car

You need to read the fine print.
Pros: The price if it would have been the price I expected.
Cons: Once I arrived at Thrifty, the price for the car was accurate, but you are required to have insurance on the rental and that raise the price another $30 per day. This was not in the reservation I saw on Kayak, or at least not that I could see. I ended up cancelling the reservation and going a different route.

Price was real.
Pros: I paid 85 cents a day. I did leave a $2000 visa security deposit for insurance but i was refunded all of it back and only paid 168 pesos total for 7 days of rental...this was including tax.

Price is in the insurance
Pros: Good service
Cons: Rates online overly reasonable but the entire price of the car was in the insurance. Even the lowest level, just liability was over 3x the daily rental fee. Not a fun surprise.

Pros: Pick up and drop off were good.
Cons: Picture on the website said a Jeep Wrangler or something similar. When we arrived to pick up, they said they don't even have Jeeps. Curious since it was in all their advertising, including the car descriptions at the front desk. Would not have paid what I paid for the small SUV had I known.

Pros: Nothing
Cons: The rental shop was very deceptive. Was told I need to purchase insurance online by the initial person I spoke to at the company. I did this immediately. After taking their shuttle to a location far from the airport, I was then told I need to purchase their $200 insurance. I ended up walking out.

Pros: Nothing.
Cons: The Cancún office immediately tried to rip me off with an invented insurance fee. I called them out using the app pricing, which pissed them off. One of the employees even offered his phone to do a side deal. Seriously? Worse is that I paid for a Chevy Tahoe and got a small car without adjustments.

Good but..
Pros: The car, Volkswagen Gol was almost in excellent condition and I had unlimited miles to drive. The shuttle was easy to find and board. And friendly people.
Cons: The stereo in the car wasn’t working, unfortunately there was a hidden fee for car insurance that thankfully was refundable but unknown to me that I had to pay, the staff took incredibly long when helping customers to pick up their car but maybe that’s a good thing for the person they are helping, perhaps they could use more agents. This is at the Cancun rental building.

Residue covering the car left us with horrible visibility
Pros: The base price is cheap, but $5/day jumped to minimum $35 with even the most basic insurance. Also we got an automatic car like requested, but is was "the only one left" and they asked us to take a stick first so I feel like we definitely could have been stuck carless.
Cons: They "wash" the car right before giving it to you and while it looks shiny when they hand it over, it left a gross residue that made visibility through all the windows horrendous. I probably used most of the washer fluid cleaning the windshield every time we went anywhere and night driving was frankly dangerous with the amount we could see. Additionally, we were given just half a tank and instructed to return it with half a tank. So annoying. The whole establishment was poorly organized.

a bust
Cons: I tried to find out what the mandatory insurance would cost. No one at Budget could/would tell me. Our flight was delayed 2 hrs and when we got to Cancun airport the person told us that he was out of our mid-size car and that we would have to take this tiny car for the same price that we had already paid. Or we could upgrade to a larger car and pay considerably more. Since we couldn't fit into the tiny car we chose the larger car, a Nissan Versa. A nice car, but to me that is an intermediate car. In fact it's smaller than an intermediate car. So we got an acceptable car, but paid twice the price plus the insurance add-on. If a fee is more than 100% of the cost, shouldn't that be disclosed? Other than that everything was fine.

Holy Insurance Batman!
Pros: Dollar rental was a good value. I liked having unlimited miles for our roadtrip.
Cons: I was surprised that insurance cost almost double what I paid for the rental. It'd be nice to know the insurance prices upfront. Huge sticker shock since my personal insurance wouldn't cover a rental outside the US. In Cancun our flight arrived late at night. I knew arriving late at night might be problematic, but Dollar had reassured me that someone would be available to help us and that they'd shuttle us from the terminal to our vehicle. Well, it was 12:30AM and I couldn't find anyone at or near the terminal to shuttle us. I called 6 times, over 30 minutes, to the number provided and it would just ring endlessly. We finally had to pay for a taxi to take us to the Dollar location about 1/2 mile from the terminal. Finally I was able to talk to someone and drive away with a vehicle at 1:30AM.

Convenient location right by the airport terminal
Pros: All employees were polite and friendly and spoke emough English to explain our various options for the required Mexican car insurance. The car was clean and available more ot less immediately when we got through the check-in process. No shuttle bus required as the business is just a 1-minute walk across the street grom the airport terminal building. The prices were the lowest we found.
Cons: Checkout paperwork took a lot longer than you can believe even though nobody was in line ahead of us, so allow yourself extra time to make it to your flight.

Pros: That they were fast in and out once you got to the counter
Cons: The prices that they had on there kayak website was wrong... it state that the rental is $4.65 for six days.. when I got there it was 88 dollars a day 300 hold on the credit card.. I need a car to get to the hotel so i got the car for one day then I return before my trip was over they have me 388 dollars back before 24 hour...

Cons: Only 1 hour late and they charged me for extra day. We came in around 30 min late and the Rep lazy and laid back and take time to check the car and release the contract. In US we just drop the car and go. In Mexico you have to wait the rep to release the contract then you have to sign all the paper. then you can go. I will not happy and never rent at dollar

Pros: No me gustó nada
Cons: Reserve por Kayak un precio de 7,50 al llegar al counter la tarifa con sus impuestos ascendían a un TOTAL de Usd 400 aproximadamente y si no tomas sus seguros quieren una garantía por Usd 2500. Nunca más usaré esa tentadora les recomiendo FOX es a lado y tiene muy buenas tarifas.

The Hustle
Pros: It was nice car it was comfortable.
Cons: The price at first was ridiculously cheap online like $5.00 for 5 days, when we got there at the rental the price skyrocketed like $70.00 a day they informed us we should get insurance because the car might be stolen or if it was scratched by someone. With much negotiating we got the car reduced to a somewhat reasonable price of $39 a day. Then when you think you are getting your car you get someone who tries to convince you to go to a timeshare to get your car paid in full. It was stressful but we had a nice trip and the car worked out to be a good car. We didn't do the timeshare from past experience so it cost us near $300 which is a fair deal.

Misleading price
Cons: This was a complete false advertising scam. I am very disappointed with dollar and kayak for advertising a false price. Dollar in Cancun REQUIRES rental insurance so it turned out to be 5x the price of the advertised rental. Even though I have insurance through my credit card and privately, they require the insurance.

Pros: Nice people and fast service.
Cons: They forced me to purchase a $250 full-coverage insurance, which was not expected and not clearly stated when I made the reservation. This meant a 50% increase on our rental budget. This needs to be made clear during the online reservation and not as a surprise when you are all ready to go on site.

Worst service
Cons: The car I originally signed up for I couldn’t get due their not being enough of those cars. I got a crappy dodge attitude brakes and shocks were blown and bunch of ants inside the car. I wasn’t able to switch the car till 2-3 days later due to their not being other cars in the level rental I got

watch for insurance
Pros: The airport meet and pick up was great. The port drop off was good too.
Cons: At pick up we had reserved a Chevy Tahoe. We got a dodge journey, which is hardly similar. Then they pushed the insurance so hard I had to call my credit card company to get a letter sent verifying I had coverage, then they still authorized $15,000.00 (yes, fifteen thousand USD) on my card.

Worst place complete ripoff
Pros: Being able to drive
Cons: Very rude and everything is a complete lie. Says car is 9 dollars a day online, then you go and you must buy their insurance.so the price at all is not liated The online insurance for 67 covers nothing with them. You have to pay for insurance in different tiers $240 with a $2000 hold, $260 with 1000 hold, $300 with a 600 hold.

false quote
Cons: I quoted for a car with a different drop-off place, got charged for it in advanced and when I arrived to the dealer in charged in mexico for the rental of Economy Rental who are not them, but America Car Rental they wanted to charge me an extra for the drop off. America said they couldn't give me the car until I signed and payed the different location option and that Economy should be the one responding, tried to speak with Economy but was not possible to communicate and said kayak was responsable for that and I could never get them on the phone... The full service from start to end was a disaster

Worst company ever
Pros: Car was drivable.
Cons: The list goes on and on, but the horrible customer service and the ridiculous over charges are just the beginning. They charged us almost double the agreed on rate for "insurance" or suggested we pay for the total value of the car!! Basically, it's giant rip off scheme.

Hidden Fees
Pros: The rental company would have gotten 5 stars if they would simply be upfront about the real price and all the hidden fees . At the end of the day the car was fine and the shuttle service no problems. Just don’t like arriving to get your car and being told that you have to sign up for insurance or they will place an $18,000 hold on your credit card while you are on vacation. And if you choose to get the basic insurance they will then only place an $8000 hold on your credit card!!!! So they force you into the maximum insurance package which only places a $690 hold on you card. Just as a business owner I would never treat my customers like that.

These guys are a joke
Pros: Nothing. We were so mad by their not honoring the reservation cost we’d paid, that we ended up having to book with a different company.
Cons: They won’t honor your reservation quote and will ask you to pay way more.

Pros: Shuttle service was ok, somewhat confusing on where to meet driver. Drop off of rental and shuttle to airport was as it should be efficient and easy.
Cons: 1. Personal liability insurance requirement not disclosed at $35/day. This is not covered by any credit card or personal auto insurance in Mexico. Pay it or they will drive you back to airport. You may be able to get a Rider on your own insurance for personal liability in Mexico, bring proof of policy. I will do this next time just to stick it to them. They tease you in with low rates and then stick it to you with the liability insurance! 2. Received vehicle on empty. 3. Rental company is actually American Car Rental, not Economy, in Mexico. 4. Credit card got skimmed same day multiple fraud purchases. It was the only place I used the card that day in Mexico.

Stay away
Pros: The advertised price looked good.
Cons: Upon arrival they would not accept my international rental insurance. I travel frequently for business and have good international car rental coverage. After speaking to a manager the reluctantly would accept it but stated that I should be cautioned that i would be responsible for any damage. It was presented as a threat and I felt that they would fund a way to charge me for something upon return. So I agreed to purchase additional coverage. That was the better part.... Upon arrival I was charged an additional fee for fuel. When i picker up the van it had a little under a half tank. I returned it a little over a quarter tank. I expected a possible modest fee. I was charged 750 pesos. About 4p use. Excessive but fine...what really got me was the late fee. When setting up the rental months ago I selected the travel dates, pick up and return times. Anyone who travels knows that these are never exact and change as flights change. I was 1 and a half hours late for the return. I am not sure what the fee was but I was floored and could not believe the were trying to pull more cash out of me after arguing over the excessive fuel charge. No I didn't get credit for picking up the vehicle late. Really poor customer service from America Car rental Cancun

Mexico rental car rates and insurance rates very misleading!
Pros: Car was new and clean.
Cons: While booking through the car rental site prior to our visit i was quoted and made a reservation for 8 days for $135. It suggested no additional fees or insurance were required. I always decline additional insurance when in central America as I hold full coverage through my credit card provider. They however refused to rent me the car without paying their expensive insurance premium. This was a serious inconvenience we did not budget for!! The additional insurance costs incurred brought our estimated rental cost from $135 all the way to $466!!! OVER 3 TIMES THE QUOTED PRICE! IMO this is an unacceptable practice. These things need to be disclosed at time of booking.... NOT when you arrive at the rental agency. Over all this made our experience with AMERICA's Car rental (subsidiary of Economy i take it?), very unpleasant . I will doubtfully use them again on our next trip.

Pros: Nice people and fast service.
Cons: They forced me to purchase a $250 full-coverage insurance, which was not expected and not clearly stated when I made the reservation. This meant a 50% increase on our rental budget. This needs to be made clear during the online reservation and not as a surprise when you are all ready to go on site.

Worst service
Cons: The car I originally signed up for I couldn’t get due their not being enough of those cars. I got a crappy dodge attitude brakes and shocks were blown and bunch of ants inside the car. I wasn’t able to switch the car till 2-3 days later due to their not being other cars in the level rental I got

watch for insurance
Pros: The airport meet and pick up was great. The port drop off was good too.
Cons: At pick up we had reserved a Chevy Tahoe. We got a dodge journey, which is hardly similar. Then they pushed the insurance so hard I had to call my credit card company to get a letter sent verifying I had coverage, then they still authorized $15,000.00 (yes, fifteen thousand USD) on my card. The counter man in Cozumel, and lady in Playa del Carmen could not have been less friendly.

Later I found out there are many rentals which give liability insurance for free. So check that out. Don't get Carried away by the low price. And ya they will charge 10% extra for airport rentals + 4% extra for using credit card :-\

I will never rent from Payless again
Cons: The man who rented to us at the Tulum outlet (Elias) was extremely rude and condescending. I never complain but this was beyond anything I had experienced before. The car we were given did not start after two days and we had to take it back. Elias was not there when we switched cars but we were told to see him for a refund on all of the gas we had put in the car that was no longer starting. The night we dropped off the car that wouldn't start, the man working there couldn't even move the car because the starter was so dead. Elias said there was nothing wrong with the car and then said "this kind of thing always happens with people like you". He said we were lying about the car and although he eventually did, he did not want to reimburse us for the 250 pesos of gas that we were owed. He was rude and believed that having a string tied to the broken door handle in the car was also acceptable. He is a total crook and we will not be back.
