Had to purchase extra third party insurance as my insurance wasn’t recognized - not pleased with value.
One Alamo personnel backed one rental car into another!
They always try to upsell you on renting a more expensive car. When that didn't work, they made me buy a full tank of gas. I felt embarrassed and bought it, which turned out to be a scam because you can't return the car with an empty tank. However, I'm used to being taken advantage of in Mexico.
MEX insisted that I purchase their insurance package even though I had already purchased through EasyRent. After showing my EasyRent insurance certificate, they informed me that the MEX insurance was still required, but reimbursable by EasyRent.
The only problem I had was with the 3rd party insurance since I was led to believe that it was included but at the counter I was told I had to pay an additional $20 per day.
I told them I had already paid 206 yuan on the car rental website and only needed to pay 115 yuan worth of Mexican pesos at the store, but the staff still charged me 1113 pesos for three days of car rental. They said this is the store policy, so I ended up paying over 200 yuan more. Very dissatisfied. It's better to go directly to the car rental company.
“Great car and price, but a lot of pressure to buy extras.”
About MEX:8.3/10
Mex salesperson, kept telling me that since I purchased insurance through EasyRentCars, I was not insured locally and that I would have to buy insurance through them. I insisted I was already covered, because what I bought from EasyRentCar and due to another travel policy on my Credit card, and they very unwillingly let me leave but only after putting down a very hefty cash deposit which would have been lost if any accidents. It made the experience a pain and I felt like I was being preyed upon. (Even though I spoke Spanish and was very nice to them.)
“MEX will try to force you into upselling additional car insurance even if you have already purchased”
About MEX:8.7/10
They tried to make me sign a paper that I would be have to pay for the $29,000 cost of the vehicle if anything happened to it that they saw no insurance purchased for this rental. When I refused they charged me $137 insurance fees. This $137 was more than 2x the cost of the insured rental. They did not have WiFi available so it was hard to debate the counter rep to see the fine print so they bullied me into getting the additional coverage. This started my vacation off poorly.
They charged an additional 440 pesos for insurance without providing a receipt upon return. I'm still negotiating with the rental company for a refund.
They wouldn't allow me to rent a car with my Chinese driver's license and a notarized translation. Instead, they charged me an extra $6 per day for a special waiver, costing me an additional $42. Probably because the price was lower, there were a lot of people picking up cars that day. It took about 40 minutes to complete the paperwork, and then another half hour to actually get the car. Overall, it was a very poor experience, and I won't choose this company again.
A l'aéroport aucune indication pour trouver mex apres avoir demandé à plusieurs personnes Attente de 2h dans l'agence
3 personnes en plus ont eu le même problème qui est des frais en plus pour la carte bleue
Very bad service with forced extra charges! I already purchased full insurance from ZuzuCar, but upon arriving at the store, I was informed that I needed to pay an additional fee of over $90. Being abroad, I had no choice but to pay. After more than a month of complaints upon returning home, I was finally told by the car rental company that there is a small note at the bottom of the final payment page about extra charges from the store. It certainly wasn't there when I booked the car months ago. Now the platform has added a tiny note to avoid responsibility! Extremely frustrating! (I contacted ZuzuCar by phone at the store about this issue, and they said after some back-and-forth that they didn't know about this rule either and advised me to pay and verify upon returning to the country. They also mentioned that the full payment had not been transferred to the store yet, and I could appeal it after returning home.)
Be very careful of their tricks to sell you upgrades. They said they would fill in full tank of gas for a cheaper rate than outside fuel stations, they said that fuel level is very low and they suggest taking the initial full tank fuel package. I declined this package, when I get to the car I rented, the fuel is already at full level.
