Europe car in Puerto Vallarta is definitely not worth it. I bought insurance together with my rental from kayak but they refused the insurance and wouldn’t let it go without me buying their insurance. I ended up walking over to Avis and renting a car with insurance for less money than just the insurance from Europe car.Reviewed 13 Feb. 2023

The whole process was a nightmare. It started by telling me the car I had booked wasn’t actually available (but only after I was supposed to pick up) then by prompting me to book a week later than I’d intended (I know, I should have triple checked), and then by saying my credit cards were not working despite the fact they have worked at every other rental provider and we’re not over the limit. Overall brutal experience I will seek to avoid in the future.Reviewed 31 Jan. 2023

When we arrived the car rental agency told us we needed to pay an additional 150% of the rental price that was already paid. We did not get a car as our budget did not allow for it. Seems like a total scamReviewed 25 Jan. 2023

Beware Friends! This is a total cash grab! I used Kayak to rent a car in Mexico. What they failed to include in the advertised price was the cost of insurance. The company I my rental was through would only allow you to take the car if you used their insurance or paid the total value of the car up front! Yes that’s right they wanted $14 000.00US. This was false advertisement on Kayak’s part. The price should have included the cost of the non-negotiable insurance price. The insurance was so expensive, we didn’t take the rental. We actually thought it might be a scam. They wouldn’t accept any insurance coverage you have on a credit card or through your own insurance company. The couple in front of us was sold insurance through the booking site AND the car company still would not accept it. Shame on you kayak for not including this information up front. I only found it after in the small print. You can start to fix this by including the total cost of the car + insurance and refunding me my money back.Reviewed 5 Apr. 2022

Cons:I reserved the car, place my credit card info. And once I got their I got told yeah here's your reservation and we have your car. But a few minutes later they told me I didn't book it correctly and that they didn't have a car for me. It was extremely frustrating because then I had to try and find a new car rental that same day. Very poor service.Reviewed 22 Mar. 2021
