The booking price always looks great when reserving in Mexico, but at pick-up they add on mandatory insurance and fees that are usually more than the booking fee. Still a reasonable deal.

Many hidden fees!! They force you to purchase insurance even though most credit cards cover this. It is at minimum $20/day. Also lots of taxes. It ended up being about $200 more than advertised on Kayak. Complete BS.

Poor|Jan 2022

Kayak hooked me up with a midsize car for me , my wife and my parents who are larger people so we need a midsize vehicle for our trip and there's luggage too! First off we couldn't find the enterprise on FRANCISCO MEDINA ASCENCIO 141, Puerto Vallarta, JA, MX which doesn't exist. So we went to the airport enterprise- to grab our Nissan Xtrail, they proceeded to tell us that they don't have a car for us even though we have one reserved prior to coming. Arguing with the enterprise rental person no apology or anything, which is ridiculous. So we cancelled our rental reservation due to no car and no help from enterprise at all. We tried to get a car at Alamo at the airport who also didn't have any cars for us. They took us to the big Alamo outside of the airport. They told us they had a midsized car and they gave us a Nissan Micra clown car. This is the smallest car and we all had to sit with luggage on our laps and at our feet it was so small. Whatever we get the car do our trip to Mazatlan and go to return the car. They won't give us our deposit back so we sat and waited. They were super unhelpful and didn't know a goddam thing about anything at all. This was the WORDST RENTAL CAR EXPERIENCE EVER!!!!!!! I am not at all impressed with PRICELINE, KAYAK, ENTERPRISE OR ALAMO!! You have all gotten this review because none of you are helpful or even care about your customers. I will never ever use PRICELINE, KAYAK , ALAMO OR ENTERPRISE EVER AGAIN! I would like this issue to be rectified.

This was Avis at puerto Vallarta airport. Regular size car. The line was extremely slow and staff moved very slowly. Took an hour to get the car with only 1 person ahead of me. Price was ok but I declined insurance since my credit card and auto insurance policy cover the car. They insisted on putting a $4200 hold on my credit card in case there was any damage- even a scratch. Crazy. Won’t rent there again.

I opted for the full coverage insurance and was told that the total would be $490. After returning the car, the total was $630. Not only was this place completely dishonest, they couldn't have been in any less of a hurry. Took us over an hour to get checked in and almost an hour to return the car.

The pickup and drop off process is much too slow. I waited in line for 45 minutes to pickup my car. At drop off, I was the only customer there and it still took 20 minutes to check me out. The insurance is ridiculously expensive and I did not have an option to waive it.

e sure to read the fine print. I was quoted 149.00 for 7 days total. Yes it sounds to good to be true and it was. I even have the email that I have read over and over. When I arrived in Puerto Vallerta the price was closer to 500.00. I should have known better,. Their customer servoice was not the best. I walked next door to AVIS and rented a car for 450.00 for 7 days on the spot. I would not recommend ACE ever.....,

Our van was not ready for the day requested, so the staff lent us their shuttle van so we were not stranded, or incite extra costs for taxis. This was appreciated, particularly given the price deception.

The price advertised was dramatically less than what was actuality. While this was a red flag, it remains categorically price deceptive. Beyond this, we were expected to participate in a timeshare presentation.

Complete rip off, do not use this rental company. They upcharged an 80% mandatory basic insurance to our original resevation and if we wanted any quality insurance for the vehicle the median mark up was 240% price incresase for the insurance alone. The door handles were held together with tape, the tire shoulders were bald and the windshield wipers fell apart after using them in the rainstorm we experieced. We were honestly lucky to have reached our destination. Budget's name took a serious hit from my consideration if their branches conduct business in this shady manner.

The car was fine and the people in the Puerto Vallarta office spoke English which was nice. It was nice to be able to pick up in Puerto Vallarta and drop off in Guadalajara.

The one way fee of $200 seemed excessive but the fact that the mandatory insurance cost even more was totally unexpected. Although Mexican drivers are crazy so while expensive, the insurance is probably worth it if you get in an accident. It would have been nice to know the cost of the insurance ahead of time. It was unanticipated and cut into our budget.

1. High-Pressure tactics about taking insurance... You are not obligated to take their insurance (Visa Cards often cover you), and they charge you 90% of the cost of the rental in INSURANCE - my car cost $200/day !!!!! It was just a VW Jetta.... 2. They refuse to rent you the car, unless you take the minimum insurance 3. They hold your CC hostage for many thousands of dollars, unless you take their insurance. 4. Rent from: Gecko or SIXT - honest and good people who INCLUDE the cost of the insurance in the price per day!!!
