Poor|Apr 2022They did not have a car reserved for us. But they asked how many day rental it would be, and When we said it would be for one day rental they said no.

Mediocre|Feb 2022Car was old and poorly maintained, with check engine light and brake lights constantly warning on imminent issues. Rate "negotiations" for insurance coverage was demeaning and unacceptable for a major brand

Wonderful|Dec 2021They upgraded my reservation to a bigger car without any extra cost.

Okay|Nov 2021Drop off was a breeze. Location and shuttle was great too. It would be so helpful if the company would just inform people of the extra charges ahead of time so they don’t have so many angry people at pick up feeing like they are getting lied to. There’s mandatory collision and liability insurance that are additional daily fees and you can only get them through their company. There’s daily extra driver fees, roadside, and they didn’t even give us a car that was comparable to the one we thought we were getting. Explaining all this ahead of time so there aren’t any surprises upon arrival would be so much better for customers. The “total” upon reserving online is never the case. It’s really another $500 on top of that. Just say so instead having hidden fees.

Poor|Jul 2021the car was in bad shape and they insisted I needed to buy additional insurance upon arrival.

Poor|Aug 2022Rate was aprox $140.00 but went to $299. At counter trapped in Mexico what else can you do but pay it NOT HAPPY WITH KAYA AND not MonitoringCompanies for excessive charges
2.0
Poor|May 2022Grossly overpriced, Using Uber 2-3 times/day would have been much less expensive, and much more convenient. In addition, Budget substantial "daily" insurance fee, which was not disclosed at the time I made the booking. This part is completely unacceptable.

Mediocre|Jul 2021There was nothing to like about this experience other than the friendliness of the shuttle driver and desk associate.
The car we received was old and dirty. The steering wheel was peeling and the one headlight wasn’t working. Also, the rear hatch would shake and make noise uncontrollably when driving on the highway. Terrible reventar experience.

Okay|Jan 2022Be warned about their insurance policy! I had to pay quite a lot, additionally, for full coverage that was unexpected. If you book through kayak, make sure you understand their policies before you arrive.

Wonderful|Jan 2021Price was good, staff was helpful. Car was clean. Mexico 3rd Party insurance was included. Able to decline CDW with credit card coverage as long as a hold was placed on credit card.
Make sure you fill out the paper to mark all dings, dents and scrapes on the car before taking the car.

Poor|May 2019Nothing to like
They made me wait 45minutes to tell me that they didn't have the card I booked in advance
8.0
Very Good|Feb 2019Upon return, they refused to release the hold on the credit card, saying that one of the headrests was missing. Also, there was a missing plastic cover in the passengers foot well that they want to charge me for. At check-in, they seemed very relaxed about the condition of the vehicle. Document!

Mediocre|Oct 2018The car itself was clean and functioned as expected.
I show up to Pueblo Bonito Rose on the date I scheduled my rental pick-up (the date and location had already been pre-selected) and the hotel concierge tells me that Avis is closed on Sundays. Why did the website allow me to schedule the pickup on this date? Pueblo Bonito was nice enough to call Avis' other location nearby and I spoke with Avis on the phone, they sent a guy with my rental. He said he'd be there in 10 minutes, that was a lie, I waited at least half an hour. They provide a wifi box which is kinda neat, but the guy gave it to me without a charging cable and I wasn't able to charge it, so this was only useful on the first drive, after the first day of using it, it died and was useless. He told me upfront that there was no charging cable, so I was aware of this and said ok. When I returned the car at SJD Airport, Avis asks me where the cable is. I said you guys gave me the wifi box without one. They said that because there weren't any notations of the missing cable that they would have to charge me, at this point I was pretty upset. I'm just trying to drop of my car so we can catch our flight back home and now this nonsense. Long story short I spoke with the manager and flat out told them, "no, I'm not paying for a cable that we were never provided with which made this wifi box useful for only one trip" I didn't end up having to pay for the cable but then I got screwed on having to pay for a full tank of gas when I only used 1/4 of the tank, so I might as well have paid for the stupid cable. Avis never once told me anything about extra charges for gas, I guess this can be assumed but being that this was in Mexico and the first time I rent a car there, I didn't assume the rules were the same. I would've put a few bucks worth of gas to replenish the tank had i known I was going to have to pay the full price of a tank. Terrible experience!

Very Good|May 2023Pickup from the airport was easy. We waited about 5 minutes to the shuttle to take us to the rental office that's outside of the airport. Once at the office, everything went smooth but was a little slow. We weren't in a hurry so it wasn't a problem. If there was urgency we would have been under stress. The vehicle was great and clean. Everyone went smoothly upon return.

Poor|Feb 2023The didn't have our vehicle and tried to place us in a car that would not accommodate all passengers. They were dishonest in the course of trying to figure out a solution.

Wonderful|Apr 2018Easy pick up close-by nice new cars
I call it the Mexico Shuffle because it always seems It's a bait and switch I am now a custom too this business practice Obviously when I rented the car through kayak it was $5 per day not even a Mexico can you get a car for $5 a day I knew that they were going to sell me a damage waiver the know where on the website could I find that information I actually called the location and got the exact price per day which was $35 plus the $5 as advertised so is about $40 per day for a midsize SUV which are required for off road dirt road travel Just to be fair all the car companies seem to do that even if I tell him I did not want to damage waiver that American Express credit card covers me and my automobile insurance covers rental cars and in fact my homeowner's policy has a line item in it for Rental Car Coverage which is rather minimal but it is there

Mediocre|Aug 2017The car, while it was a new car, still was not the car that we reserved. We reserved a Nissan Maxima for 4 adults and got a KIA Sorento
This was my first use of the Kayak site and we reserved a car for a week out of Cabo. The car was not what I ordered (a smaller KIA instead of a Nissan). The real problem was that as soon as I reserved it, I received an email from an insurance company, Allianz, that offered to sell me insurance. I purchased the insurance, but ACE rental would not recognize that insurance. I had to purchase another insurance policy through them at 3 times the price or not get the car.
2.0
Poor|Jul 2017Not much. Starting with the (initial) airport shuttle ("Ace badged"), which delivered me to a 35 minute wait, at the (wrong) office. Once we took (other) shuttle, I was offered a Kia "Forte"(instead of the VW Jetta-Full Size or "similar"). My reservation stated Then, instead of the $30.69USD, that my reservation stated, I was given a choice of $180.69USD (with a $2500.00USD "Hold", and final charge on my credit card), or $215.51USD, for an $800.00 "Hold", and final charge on my credit card.
I did not appreciate the disorganization, the need to go to (2) different office locations, the waiting in line (at each of those offices), for a total of 50 minutes, the type of car that I was rented, (i.e.smaller than the car class that I reserved), or the ("Surprise!!!") additional charges that were somehow acceptable, and explained by, the "Terms and Conditions". While "Additional Charges may apply for required insurance, when the "required insurance" is 6 times the cost of the rental, something is wrong.

Wonderful|Jun 2017everything was as advertised with no glitches
It is unfortunate that all the insurances need to be so expensive

Mediocre|Feb 2023The biggest problem is the bait-and-switch between the reservation price (which was supposed to be $33 total) and the actual amount I needed to pay including required insurance ($180). I have rented many cars and I do understand that, outside the U.S., I sometimes need to add insurance beyond my own personal car insurance and coverage provided by my credit card. But it shouldn't be almost 6 times the quoted price. Kayak really should ban this kind of behavior onits platform. Additionally, the inside-the-store shop was disorganized and confusing. (I live in Mexico and speak Spanish, so this isn't a language issue.) The woman outside who processed the drop-off was friendly and helpful. EuropCar is clearly a lower-tier rental car company.
6.0
Okay|Aug 2023Pickup took a long time. Rental agency charged me $160 for the most basic insurance and said it was mandatory. I paid $23 through Kayak.
2.0
Poor|Sep 2022The cost of the rental was reasonable. I had also paid $165 for third party vehicle insurance. But once I showed up to pick up the vehicle, the mandatory liability insurance was over twice the cost of the vehicle rental cost. Plus, if you don't take their collision insurance, they require a hold on your credit card for thousands of dollars. Will never rent from them again.

Poor|Aug 2022Dishonest about insurance Drop off agent tried to extort $75 or miss my flight.

Poor|Jun 2022Picking up the car was a very long process. Has to endure the sales of signing up for presentation to reduce the price of the local insurance .... $425/week for a minimum coverage!!! .... although it seemed to be negotiable. Apparently you reserve the car at a low rate and pay a high local insurance at check out!!
2.0
Poor|May 2022They put a hold onto my visa for 14,000usd for insurance reasons. The car was returned and the hold removed but they charged my visa 14,000usd at an exchange rate that was not good. Then they instantly refunded my 14,000usd same day all after I returned the car. I lost over $1000 Canadian in that transaction that should have only been a hold and my card never charged. I can’t get ahold of the Europe car Mexico and I have emailed europcar and am waiting for a reply. I also sent all my forms to QEEQ for a dispute. Please help me get my $1000can dollars back.

Mediocre|Feb 2023Was very disappointed in the car. It was a high mileage beater more appropriate to rent-a-wreck. The only reason that I didn't give a single star was that our airplane was delayed and the owner stayed beyond closing to accomodate us. Five Stars for Service, Zero stars for the product.
2.0
Poor|Sep 2022Do NOT use economy rental car in cabo. Even with “full insurance” they will still charge you for any damage to the car. The cost of the car per day is at least $100, regardless of what you pay through Kayak.

Poor|Jul 2021Pick up was okay. Drop off was terrible. There was no shuttle to the airport. Staff was very rude and unhelpful about getting to the airport. Eventually we were taken to the airport in the same car rented to us in two trips. Then was charged more than the amount on the rental contract to my credit card.
2.0
Poor|Jul 2021The staff was unhelpful and unfriendly,
Kayak and Economy Car Rental should fully disclose the legal requirements for renting a car in Mexico. We were unable to decline the insurance even though we had the option to decline it online. The agent was rude and unhelpful.
2.0
Poor|May 2021The car was OK, had to jump it once because it couldn't stand the radio on and the car was very weak and sounded like it had some transmission problems. But it did it's job, can't expect much from a Renault
I made the reservation for $70 for all 5 days, thought it was a great rate. When we got there they said there was a mandatory insurance that jumped the price to OVER $250 for 5 days. Why are we booking at such a low rate and believe that is the TOTAL price as the website says then figure out we need to pay 4x the price at the spot. Then I extended for another 2 days and it was over $120 for the 2 days. Super misleading and that is definitely Kayak's fault for quoting such low rates, I wish they would honor the rate that I was quoted before I made my way to Mexico and got ripped off because I needed a car. Literally everyone was complaining about the huge insurance rates at the store.

Poor|Jun 2021Never rent from Firefly (aka Hurtz). Our total on pick up was TWICE as much as the price quoted with our reservation, and they call a Nissan Kicks (small cross over model) a full size SUV - barely fit 3 people comfortably. Two thumbs down, don’t be a sucker and rent from Firefly.
2.0
Poor|May 2021Nothing - the car reservation wasn’t honored - please contact me as very unhappy as had to spend an additional 200 dollars to find a car last minute. Relied on kayak to deliver but instead got the opposite - a major penalty and lots over an hour looking for a car.

Mediocre|Apr 2021The staff was friendly and drop off was quick and easy.
There needs to be more information for future customers on additional fees NOT mentioned in the advertising when booking a rental car in Mexico. Although my credit card covers collision, it did not cover liability in Mexico. It was not known to me and to other customers to my left and my right at the counter, while I was working on getting the contract worked out. The daily advertised prices are steep and will cut into peoples budget. I understand that I have to play the game, but it is very disappointing that I find this out at the counter and not before.
4.0
Mediocre|Apr 2021The staff was super awesome and friendly, wait time was insanely ridiculous- we waited over three hours from the time we got dropped off by the shuttle until we we drove out. I’ve rented cars in other countries and this one by far one of the slowest processes ever. And remember the price kayak quotes is just for the car-not for everything else they throw in at the counter. My price on kayak was $188 and I ended up paying $572 all said and done. In the end it was kinda worth it all.
