Cons: Cars need a little updating

Belize car rental standards may be lower than what you expect.
Cons: The original vehicle we received had a check engine light as well as an air bag light displayed on the dashboard. When I questioned the Budget employee on this he stated "don't worry the airbag will work". I had to insist on a different car before being given the choice between a newer dirty car or a severely beaten up but clean older one. We chose the newer dirty one with bald tires and a disconnected rear washer nozzle that we discovered only after attempting to use it at which time it simply dumped a large quantity of washer fluid down from the rear ceiling area saturating our luggage.

Sketchy Car
Pros: There were options for upgraded cars. I originally reserved a compact SUV and upon arrival found that the car i was to receive was a hatchback car that was a stick shift. The attendant was willing to upgrade us at no cost to a Suzuki SUV to accommodate our luggage.
Cons: The car we were upgraded to was not of good quality. The windows did not roll down, the vent broke once we got out of the airport, the radio display did not work, and the suspension was horrible. The car could not go 55mph without wondering all over the road and feeling like it was going to tip over. Our friends went with Alamo Rentals and received a newer Ford Explorer for a small increase in price. In the future we will be going with a different company to insure reliability and comfort.

Pros: Gas mileage.
Cons: 1. Old, beat up Renault Duster 2. Tires were not rugged. 3. Manual was in Spanish only 4. Ground going into 3rd gear 5. Abs light and seat belt light were on the whole rental. 6. Driver seat and steering wheel did not line up. 7. Gas tank door remote lever was poorly placed. 8. Windshield wipers were worn. 9. Remote key could not open or lock doors. Battery was dead. Other than that, it was a piece of junk.

Pros: Very easy pick up and drop off. When we got the car at the airport and told them we'd be going to water taxi after drop off, they suggested we drop the car off at their other office, closer to to the city center, and then they would drive us to to water taxi pier, rather than having to take a cab. It all worked out smoothly and I was appreciative of their efforts.
Cons: Nothing. It was a totally positive experience.

Do your research!
Pros: While traveling to Placencia, I reserved a car with Budget at the airport. I paid for the extra insurance online as was advertised. Don't use Budget or the Allianz insurance while traveling to Belize, the coverage isn't accepted and they will try to charge you $50 US/day. This isn't made clear online anywhere. Long story short, we had to find another company at the airport to rent from for the week.
Cons: Don't advertise insurance if you can't use it. Wasting customer money is not good customer service.

If you're paying with a Visa, be prepared to pay m
Pros: Car itself was nice
Cons: If you pay with Visa, they charge you an extra $20 per day for insurance - that was my biggest complaint. Also, nobody looked at the car with me before I took it to see if there was any damage already.

Typical Rental
Pros: Good tires, clean, pretty much as advertised. Reliable with 107,000 km on the odometer.
Cons: Had the usual lit up warming indicators like, service ABS system and airbag that you found with rentals in countries like Belize.

Terrible car, OK drop off service.
Pros: They allowed me to drop off the car at a location closer to the water taxi, and then drove us to the water taxi, so we saved $25.
Cons: The car was not cleaned at pick-up, they required that I buy insurance when I had already purchased insurance online, and the vehicle itself did not accelerate uphill very well. There were times that I thought we would get stuck on a hill because the Suzuki just would not go, not even in first gear. They should replace that car ASAP.
