The Mexican staff member at MAS Car Rental was terrible. She made things difficult just because I'm Asian. First, the shuttle bus stop was hard to find; remember to look for the sign above with 03 after you exit. This might have been my own mistake, so future customers should take note. Then, from the time I showed my booking confirmation to when I finally got the car, she created all possible difficulties. She tried to make me buy full insurance even though I already had it. She wanted proof of third-party liability insurance, which I found out from the rental company's customer service was something they should provide and I don’t need to buy. She claimed my documents were only in Chinese and not in Spanish (which was a lie), so I had to send her the confirmation email on the spot. She said she wouldn't accept my credit card because it was opened in January, and they only accept cards open for more than a year (customer service confirmed this was a lie too). She then took at least 20 minutes to read my bilingual booking and wouldn't let me talk to customer service (thinking I was recording her). Finally, only after I got really angry did she complete the credit card process. Can you imagine it took 1.2 hours? I've driven in over ten countries and didn't expect the worst service to be in Mexico. Future customers should be aware. PS: No problems with police and driving around the Yucatán Peninsula was very easy.
They forced me to pay an additional insurance fee of around 1200, and what's worse is they charged my card after I left the store. I contacted the official customer service of the car rental platform, but their English was so weak that they couldn't argue back when the rental company claimed the insurance had already taken effect. The customer service then blamed me, which was really frustrating.
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.

My car not available during pick up. They upgraded the car to 8 seater SUV which is very convenience for us. The font staff try to upsell insurance. I have bought the full coverage insurance with AXA n insisted not to buy the duplicate insurance from 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.
