MEXICO CAR RENTAL REVIEWS

After leaving the airport, there wasn't a separate Payless counter. Upon carefully checking the pickup details, I found out I needed to go to the Budget counter—they seem to be part of the same company. The shuttle bus took us to the pickup location, where we lined up to complete the registration process. There was absolutely no pressure to purchase additional insurance. After some routine procedures, I received a brand-new Kia equipped with CarPlay but no rearview camera or parking sensors. However, I adjusted quickly. Returning the car was also very convenient. Overall, a great experience—highly recommended!

Very satisfied, excellent service.

The actual supplier was Budget. At the Mexico City airport location, the staff member, a woman, appeared stern but was actually very kind.

Overall, quite satisfied. The pricing is relatively fair, and both pickup and drop-off are very convenient.

The car rental company in Cancun didn't overly push selling insurance, but they required a $6000 deposit. Even though my credit card limit was sufficient, the authorization was repeatedly declined. I wanted to cancel the reservation and negotiate with another company on the spot, but as soon as I stepped outside, they called me back and the deposit suddenly dropped to $800!

The service was quite good, with no upselling whatsoever. We simply paid the deposit and took the car. However, the vehicle was a bit old and worn out. I always thought Mexicans might be inefficient, but it turned out to be fine. Our car tire got punctured by a nail in Guanajuato. We contacted the local car rental office at 11 a.m., and since none of the local staff spoke English, we communicated via WhatsApp. By 1 p.m., they arrived at our parking spot, inflated the tire, then drove to a nearby repair shop for inspection and patched the tire. By 2 p.m., the car was returned to us. Considering the complete language barrier, the entire process was handled very satisfactorily.

Good.

Efficient and great service.

Pretty good

Very satisfied.

Iba con dudas del servicio, pero me sorprendió gratamente ya que tenían todos los datos de la reserva y no me solicitaron nada adicional

Una grata sorpresa la plataforma, fácil de usar y con explicaciones muy claras.

No issues.

The procedure was very convenient, allowing for self-service operations, which made it quite efficient. The service attitude was great.

MEX used to have paper contracts, but now they have switched to an electronic system. After hiring a new team of employees, the service quality has improved noticeably—there’s less of the unresponsive attitude from before. Processes are now clearer, and communication is more systematic. That said, the training for new employees still needs to be improved. When selecting a vehicle, you need to be extra cautious to avoid being 'downgraded.' For instance, if you book a Kia Forte, make sure you get at least an Omoda O5, Jetta, or Nissan Sentra; otherwise, it’s considered a downgrade, so be vigilant! If you reserve an MG, it’s common to be given an MG5 or a KIA K3 instead. And if you get an Omoda, don’t get too excited—the car usually has over 20,000 kilometers on it and may have some minor issues like low tire pressure (you may need to inflate them at a gas station), damaged in-car equipment (CarPlay might not work, backup cameras could malfunction), and more. If you can deal with these minor issues, go ahead with the rental; otherwise, you’ll need to request a replacement vehicle. In conclusion, stay patient and enjoy driving in Mexico!

Positive feedback

Excellent service.

It was easy to find the shuttle bus location after landing. The driver was enthusiastic and took us to the rental car hall. There you need to get a number from the machine first. The staff handling the paperwork were relatively slow, and we waited for at least half an hour. However, the car pickup process was very smooth, with no upselling, and we got the car quickly.
