I reserved a 7 passenger as we are a family of 6.. when I got there they had record of my reservation but no available 7 passenger vehicle.. they wanted me to take a 5 passenger! So I went to Eurocar next door, they price matched and had me in a 7 passenger in 10 mins. I will not use Hertz again

The Price tha Kayak says and the price they give on the spot, it is not the same. How come can I get an 181$ US rate for a week here and on the spot the agent tells me it's 560$ US with insurance. I think I am supposed to be aware of the full price in advance, before getting there on the spot the day of. Where are the hidden fees? Or is the agent trying to rip us out? Something it is not right here, renting a car it is not supposed to be an awful experience, and every time it causes me anxiety cause it is never the right price you negotiated. Never coming back!

By far the worst rental car experience of my life. We were charged much more the the rate advertised on Hotwire and the “insurance” charge made my total 3x more than what I found online. $360 USD for a 2 day rental, MORE than I paid for an entire week rental with a different agency in the area the week before. On top of that, the agents tried to charge us an extra $1000 pesos to clean out a little dog hair that was in the car for “extra work” they would need to do. The manager tried to negotiate with us when we argued, and lowered it to $500 pesos, as if it was some kind of deal that we had to negotiate. There was nothing about dog hair in the contract, and when we pointed that out, the agent pointed to a different section about smoking in the car, claiming that it also applied to dog hair. Anyway, we didn’t want to pay this absurd fee so We took the car and cleaned it with OUR HANDS and it took 10 minutes. We read terrible reviews online but decided to risk it since it was only a 2 day rental. It was way overpriced, a horrible experience, and honestly the whole company seems like a giant scam. Knowing the reviews, we were cautious on everything: we brought the far back a day early, full tank of gas, got the 100% insurance coverage, and they still tried to rip off a client like us. Hertz should be ashamed to be associated with this company, and they should also be investigated for fraud, based on our experience and others I’ve read. I will never be renting from Hertz again and I will be sharing this review with everyone I know.

The price double once I got to pick up the vehicle. Given lame excuses for it, had to get a much smaller car to be able to afford it.

Cons:

The rental car company seems to fleece customers by adding optional insurance as mandatory and then taking and holding a huge deposit of thousands of dollars inspite of it with very vague terms . They will not rent at all unless you agree for all the optional things and the deposit as mandatory. You company has to be clear with it with the clients/ customers about this

Pros:

This car rental company is a scam. Their website is a bait and switch. We walked out of their offices and rented from a different company. Just waiting to check my CC for the damages. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!

Cons:

They could have been straight forward from the web site through the pick up.

Pros:

Nothing. Staff lied and was dishonest as well as punks when I checked out. They lied to me when I extended our stay and the price was nearly double when dropping off the car. Terrible and sleazy. Not a good representation of Kayak, Hertz or Mexico. Stealing is a crime but I had a flight to catch and they use it against you. Losers. I will be reporting this all to my credit card company but the criminals at Hertz show you fine print stating you agreed. People who take advantage of others should be fired.

Cons:

Do not steal and take advantage of travelers that are visiting to experience the beauty of your country. They lied to me when I extended our stay and the price was nearly double when dropping off the car. Terrible and sleazy. Not a good representation of Kayak, Hertz or Mexico. Stealing is a crime but I had a flight to catch and they use it against you. Losers.

I could not get my rental because they were saying that I needed to get an other insurances with them. Their reason was that it was the popular season, so my insurance with my credit card was not doing the job. Even if it was clearly written that it was alright and that if I took an insurance with another company, it would cancel the one that I took. Also, the insurance that they asked cost 10k$… So, we had to make phone calls for about 3 hours to try to make them understand, and we finished having a refound. I do not recommend taking a reservation with American car rental in Mexico, it was a real trouble.

They tried to add 700$ to my original bill of 125$ for insurance and refused to let me take the car with my own insurance as stated and refused to issue a refund when I didn’t end up getting the car because of the HUGE jump in price.

They asked for 300 usd extra on top of the price i payed online. They wouldn’t let me leave the car lot with the car without paying. The ad said there might be extra cost if drop off was a different location. But this extra cost was for nothing. I contacted priceline to get help but they said all they could do was cancel the rental which would have left me and my family stranded without a car. I am asking you to pay the difference as you are responsible for not showing the true price on your system.
