The first car provided had issues; the brake pads were completely worn out, even leaving marks on the brake discs. We later negotiated to drive a Dodge first and then switch cars. The service was okay, but it wasted a lot of time.
They require you to buy insurance, and you can't pick up the car without it. Furthermore, if there are any issues, they make it difficult to dispute. I showed two credit cards, and they deliberately chose the one that had been active for less than a year. When I complained to the car rental platform, MEX Rental Company ignored my complaint citing a credit card discrepancy. So, if you choose MEX Rental Company, you need both courage and luck!
We arrived at 11 PM, and the front desk told us that our credit card couldn't be swiped because it didn't have a chip. They asked us to pay extra. Later, our card worked everywhere else in Mexico. Since there were two other Chinese customers facing the same issue, we started to complain. The front desk then said they would communicate with the bank, and suddenly the card worked. Are they joking? Would the bank be open in the middle of the night? We wasted two hours, and those other Chinese customers wasted four hours, wasting our time.
They tried to sell me insurance and asked for a tip. When I refused, they made me wait. In the end, they charged us extra for a spare tire. It's ridiculous. The rental order was for 658 but the actual charge was 800 plus an additional 250 dollars. In total, it cost us 2550 RMB. Hope they go out of business.
Service was a bit strange. Representative at the desk told us that as soon as he saw us, millenials, he knew we wouldn't be giving him any commission. Also, they give you the car absolutely empty of fuel and there is no fuel station around. They know it's impossible to bring back a car empty so they make profit on the fact that people bring back the car with fuel in it...

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.
