Playa del Carmen Car Hire

Cons: Advertising rental cars online, making reservations, all while having no rental cars available.

Cons: Even thought I got the insurance, which increased the cost from $5 to $120 for 3 days, they still nit picked the car to see if they could charge me damages. Luckily they did not find anything.

Cons: Despite having reserved, I and several others were told they had no cars. Outrageous.

Cons: Car wasn't there when we arrived, had to wait 2hrs. Drop off at airport really inefficient, give yourself 30min

Cons: We purchased the Full coverage insurance - no deductible. When you park in Mexico, door dings are a very, very common occurrence. When we took the car back, the inspector picked them out and I have a feeling if we didn't have full coverage, they would have wanted us to pay for them. See my point regarding full coverage!

Cons: The actual cost was $260 for the week. Although we have our own insurance, it's mandatory that you purchase theirs.

Cons: Radio didn't work, too large hold on credit card with forced insurance purchase. They wanted to hold $1000 on my credit card. No joke!!

Cons: Choosing Budget rental car for my business trip was the absolute WORST idea I made my entire trip. This is the review I left on the Budget website so that you get a sense of what we had to deal with: It took over an hour for us to pick up the car in Playa del Carmen (despite having made an online reservation), and when it was finally brought around- your staff did a super lenient inspection, simply glancing at the car and then letting us know that it "looked fine to them." We had to tell your staff that the radio wasn't working, to which your staff laughed and came into the car and poked around with a paper clip, saw that it still didn't work, said they would mark the paper accordingly, and sent us on our way. Upon returning the car at the airport in Cancun (without getting into any accidents), your staff at that location decided to do a super thorough inspection- inspecting both the inside, the outside, and even the bottom underside of the car. We were then told that we would be charged for a small scratch on the underside of the car near the tire (where your Playa del Carmen staff didn't even remotely check) as well as for a missing antenna because despite the radio not working and the antenna clearly being missing from the beginning, the Playa del Carmen staff didn't go back and mark the paper like they told us they would for the missing antenna. My biggest problem, however, comes with your staff that I had to deal with on site in Cancun. They were absolutely unqualified and disrespectful. Each time calmly asked them to explain the charges to us, they continued to laugh and speak over us to each other. We asked to speak to a supervisor and were told that we would have to wait another hour because our issue wasn't a priority. None of your staff was able to explain to us why we were being charged and yet we were told that we "had to wait" and were denied access to your company-provided shuttle to get to our flight. I almost missed my flight back to NY because of your staff essentially holding me hostage at your Budget counter for over 45 minutes. My experience with your company was horrendous. Super unprofessional. And I left feeling frustrated having to deal with staff that was overly UNqualified to man a customer service counter. Do you not have customer service training at your company? Do you not have any staff training at your company? Do you know how to run a company? As a business owner myself, it's clear that you don't. I absolutely want to help anyone avoid having such an excruciatingly painful customer service experience with such an incapably-ran joke of a company.

Cons: I absolutely was disappointed that my insurance was not accepted in Mexico and I had to purchase additional insurance.

Cons: I thought I had a rental reservation until I walked into the Hertz office in Playa Del Carmen. I was informed they had no cars, reason given was customers were keeping cars longer than their original return date. Literally next door is a rental company called Firefly. They had cars at double the Hertz price. I did rent from them. They got the car from Hertz. My contract is a Hertz contract in a Firefly envelope. The lady at Hertz who said no cars available gave Firefly the car. The key was on a Hertz key chain. Hertz personal checked out the car for me. They have no shame. I wanted to keep the car an extra day. So I called Firefly and got there main office. They told me no one was answering the phone in Playa. I drove over to it and found the office closed. I walked into Hertz and he said he could check the car back in. I asked for an extra day. He said it would be very expensive to do so. I returned the car to Hertz staff who closed out my contract. While I was there more than a few persons walked in with reservations and were told no cars were available. I have always dreaded renting cars in Mexico but this experience was an all time low. Does Hertz car at all about there name?

Cons: They didn't give me a car bcos I was 30 mins late. I had to find a different car rental company. I was delayed by 3 hrs because of Hertz. Kayak it was the worst experience ever, though I have booked flights and cars/ hotels from your site for years and never faced such an issue.

Cons: dirty not well balanced and not aligned

Cons: I booked a one day car rental for 10$. When I got there, internet was down and the agent told me that there was no way I could rent the car for $10. He said the rental would be much more, and that insurance was required and it was 78$ USD. He was not willing to honor the booking details at all.

Cons: There was a language barrier which normally isn't a big deal and is to be expected. But they told me the final contract could be printed in English which was the only reason we decided to go with them. After payment and a $250 USD hold on our card for the car, they said it can't be printed in English. Too late now, had to go through with it. It was a 3 hour ordeal to get the rental as well. After we turned it back in they said the deposit would be back in our account within 2 days. 5 days later and we're still not seeing the money hit our account. Go with a reputable company. Hertz was right down the street and would have been a much better option.

Cons: Three of us with families reserved three vans at plays del Carmen, Mexico to drive to chichen itza. We have confirmed reservation numbers from kayak. When we went three to pick vans the didn't even know that we are coming. He had no vans cars or anything to rent to us. All three families stranded middle of no where with kids. Avoid at all cost. Kayak should ban them.

Cons: price was way higher than advertised. I didnt rent a car because of it

Cons: The car was not filled up with proper amount of fuel. They tried to make up scratches also on the car. Overall staff that didnt listen and poor service and I would never rent here again

Cons: The rental price we thought was going to be $200 actually wound up at $317 because we were forced to take their insurance or give them a $2000 deposit. Ruined the entire experience.

Cons: I will never use this company again. go with a name brand not a company that knows what theyl are doing

Cons: The line was so long and agent so slow we were unable to rent the car. Also it appeared that the vehicle we reserved was not available and the computer system was very old. Avoid this place if you are on a tight schedule!

Cons: The place did not exist! We wandered around for hours and asked many locals and they said the place does not exist. My husband called Ace for us and they told us where it was supposed to be. We already were on that street and walked back and forth and it wasn't there. When they connected my husband to the "local branch" it took forever for someone to answer and when someone did it wasn't Ace. What a waste of hours of my trip! Finally I had to rent last minute from another company for a really high rate. Absolute nightmare of a car rental experience.
