    An absolutely terrible place to rent your car! Plan on them aggressively trying to get you to pay thousands of dollars on coverage and then they charged us a mandatory $5,000 guarantee! They stated we will get it back, but I cannot even tell you all that we have negatively experienced with them. Damaged vehicle, worst customer service ever, predatory company. Just overall, don't do it!

    The worst car rental place ever!!!!! If I could leave a 1 star I would!!! Alejandro had enough nerve to ask for a review, well, here it is! Never ever rent from here! They are a bunch of scammers. Gabriel is supposedly the "manager" and he was no better! Long story short, my family and I had our reservation already booked straight through Europcar. It was not through a third party!!!! In our reservation we had already paid for BASIC insurance. Once we arrived to get the rental, they said they couldn't find our reservation. Then once it was "found" they then said we had to pay for insurance through them. Again, we already purchased basic insurance through them, NOT A THIRD PARTY. So basically they thought we were going to pay for insurance TWICE! If you didn't pay for insurance through them for 400+ for full coverage, then they want you to leave a deposit of 12,000 dollars USD! Who the hell is leaving a 12,000 deposit for a car that cost that much??? These people really think they are smarter than a lot of people, but um, NO! I wish I would've read the reviews before making a reservation. Please don't rent from this place!!! Again, Gabriel & Alejandro were the worst!

    I may be the only one who had such an amazing experience but I have no complaints! Initially we were not going to take the rental car option with them merely because I had already previously booked for somewhere else, but the place that I had booked her not shown up yet so I went ahead and gave them a try. They were very fast to get one of the transportation vehicles there to take us to the rental car place and very flexible with price as well as car options. The return process was very easy and straightforward as well. Pull the car in, go to where the return is. They immediately came and investigated the car. We had to have been out of there and back on the return bus within 10 minutes. Super easy. The only reason why they got a four-star instead of five is because I felt a little uncomfortable with the check in process but otherwise, I would definitely book with them again.

    FINGER AWAY for europcar Ripped off, Cheated and Mistreated It charge the double price and not answer until today My boyfriend and me made a previous reservation with europcar mexico, in which we were guaranteed the following price MXN 5,498.20. When we arrive to the Cancun Airport, the staff didn't allow to my partner and me to enter together to finish the car contract, even though I explained to them that my boyfriend does not speak Spanish. therefore I made very clear to the person who attended us that we did not want any additional service or insurance and my partner was very clear that we did not want to receive any extra service Days later we discovered that the card had been charged double the amount initially agreed when the reservation was made, Europcar booked a total of MXN 10361,12. (APPROX. TWICE MXN 5,498.20) when we delivered the car, I explained to the person who received it that we had a claim, but he told me that first we had to deliver the car, closed the contract and then we could talk to the person in charge of the office and so we did. When we finally were able to talk to the office manager Santiago Bote, the first thing he told us was that unfortunately we could not make any claim because we had already closed the contract, even though I had told the worker that I had a claim. Then I asked him to show me the contract and the extra values to understand why the value was doubled, and the only reason he gave me was, that my partner used a card that was not a credit card and for that reason the value increased, however no one explained to my boyfriend in the moment he has rented the car that this would be increased the value of the car, since he has several credit cards with which he could have made the payment. my boyfriend assured me that no one explained to him about the extra cost and he repeated again that he doesn't want any extra insurance or service. The reason that the value was doubled because we used another card is completely false, in the confirmation email we received it only said that "if the credit card with which you paid your reservation is not the same as the one you will present for the guarantee retention, the office will charge $10 MXN to verify that it is active, returning this amount the next day", and yet the extra cost they made was MXN 4862.92 which until today has not been returned

    Published low daily rental rate but charge you about a $100 a day for insurance and $500 deposit. No one was in the office during return. The workers that were washing the returned car rental had to contact someone. They will email you photos of the car with some of it are inconsistent. Such as the gas tank with phot that did not have a red sticker of what type of gas should be put in and ours does have a sticker

    Good evening. I'm reaching out because of an extremely poor experience I had with the manager at…read moreHertz rental at the Cancún international airport location. My reservation L50305859C7, was booked to be picked up on April 2. While I was on my flight to the destination, our plane had to make an emergency landing which caused us to miss our connecting flight outside of my control. I called hertz corporate number and informed them of the situation and they informed me that they would notate it on my account so that my reservation would remain the same and I would just pick up at the airport 1 day late. When I arrived in Cancun on the morning of April 3rd, I explained the above information to the receptionist. They called the manager who said they would resolve it and just said to get on the shuttle and come to the hertz office. When I got there, I explained the above-mentioned details to the clerk who stated my reservation was in the process of cancelling and I could only start a new reservation: at 7 times the original booked rate. I asked to speak to a manager; a taller gentleman in his early 40s. He became immediately dismissive and said there was nothing he could do for me and began acting extremely rude and unprofessional. He then became rude and dismissive to my pregnant wife who was standing there with my 6 and 8 year old children. When I called him out on that he immediately became PHYSICALLY defensive and walked around the counter getting in my face in a manner as if he wanted to FIGHT me. All of this was in front of my pregnant wife who was sobbing and my children who were also crying at this point. He then had to be PHYSICALLY RESTRAINED by his co-workers. When I asked for his name he covered his badge and refused to show me. He was a larger Hispanic male with short hair in his 40s. My wife and children and I then left on foot to walk to find a different rental car company. I am absolutely disgusted with the lack of professionalism demonstrated by this "MANAGER". As a professional who works in law enforcement, I was appalled by his behavior. Stay away from this company.

    Having finally given up any hope of a positive resolution, I'm posting online about my experience…read morebeing scammed at this Hertz location in the hopes that it will at least help steer others away from here. Here's how it works. You make your reservation online (in our case, we were pleased to reserve an SUV for 15 days for under $800, which seemed like an amazing deal). I had read on various forums that we should book directly with a local company, but I ended up deciding that it was worth it to go with one of the bigger name companies in case anything went wrong. It was a mistake. Once you show up to pick up your rental, one of two things happen. If you're lucky (like my Dad was, who was picking up at the same time as me), everything goes smoothly and you get your rental without any issue. If you're unlucky, they tell you that it is "illegal to rent a car without additional insurance" and tell you that you owe an additional $500+ on top of the $800 reservation, and that they will not give you a car unless you pay for this insurance. Not sure how you end up in one category or the other. It may be luck of the draw - maybe my Dad just ended up with an honest person checking him in, while I randomly ended up with the scammer. More likely, they saw that I was exhausted from a long day of travel with three young children and correctly recognized that I wouldn't put up too much of a fight, and also wouldn't call their bluff and just go to another rental agency. From subsequently reading about this scam on message boards, it sounds like if you really stand your ground and fight back, they will eventually give up and let you have the car for the price you reserved it for, but it can sometimes take hours and I definitely didn't have the capacity for that. Also, if you're thinking "my credit card provides rental car coverage", that's not going to help you. They just tell you that you can't have the car without paying additional money. Pointing out that my father wasn't required to pay the additional fee didn't make any difference (and honestly we didn't want to push too hard on that because we were glad he wasn't a victim of the same scam!) If this happens to you, you'll reach out immediately to Hertz customer service, but they will tell you there is nothing they can do until after the rental is completed, and to ask the Hertz staff about it when you drop the car off. You will follow instruction and ask the staff about the situation when you drop the car off. They will be very sympathetic and agree that what happened to you was wrong, but they will say they can't help you and you'll need to reach out to Hertz directly to resolve things. So, you'll reach out to Hertz. If you're like me, you will spend 4-5 months speaking to dozens of different customer service representatives trying to get someone to understand and care, but it will ultimately be for naught. Most of these reps were very kind, but they all said the same thing: "We spoke to the location, they said you agreed to the extra insurance, so there is nothing we can do". The fact that I was aggressively forced into signing for this insurance under threat of having my rental taken away did not seem to matter to any of these people. If you're thinking "but I have status with Hertz, I'm sure it will be different for me", I regret to inform you that my President's Circle status made no difference in any of this. So, five months after being scammed out of $500, I'm finally giving up and admitting defeat. My final act is to post my account of this experience on the internet in the hopes that it might save others from the same fate! I wish I had done more research in advance, as stories about this specific scam are all over the internet now that I know what to look for. I'm mostly disappointed in Hertz as a company for allowing this sort of thing to happen, and refusing to believe me or do anything to make things right despite literally dozens of emails that I've sent to different customer support members.

    Title: Hidden Fees and Duplicate Insurance - Prepaid Deal Turned into a Rip-Off!…read moreReview Body: I booked a prepaid intermediate SUV through Expedia for 8 days in November 2025 (Confirmation FFX06A0306) at a total of $243.71 - seemed like a good deal. But at the Fox Rent A Car counter in Denver Airport, they added massive undisclosed fees and duplicate insurance, turning the bill into $797.68 total charges, with $553.97 extra charged to my card! They charged: * ATS $111.92 (airport shuttle surcharge - not in the Expedia quote at all!) * Duplicate liability insurance: RLP $148.48 + SLP $150.00 (I only agreed to one additional coverage for ~$140 as an international driver) * Inflated Concession Recovery Fee $54.59 (vs $8.99 quoted). The upsell pressure was aggressive, and these extras weren't clearly disclosed in the prepaid booking. Fox Denver is notorious for this bait-and-switch on third-party reservations. Expedia, please stop partnering with them or warn customers better! Ended up paying more than triple what I expected.

We already had full auto coverage, Visa's rental insurance, and we also purchased a rental protection plan at booking. The total was $319.18, including $136.40 for the car rental, $61.78 in taxes, and $121.00 for rental insurance. When we arrived at the Budget counter in Cancún, the line of customers stretched out the door even though only six people were waiting to pick up vehicles. Despite having four counters open, it took nearly an hour to reach an agent. The delay was caused by constant disputes: every customer ahead of us was arguing with staff about a clear bait‑and‑switch, and many were visibly upset and raising their voices. After about 40 minutes, I asked my wife to hold our place in line and walked to a neighboring rental agency. An employee there urged us to rent from them instead, warning that Budget would try to charge us around $800. I explained that we already had a confirmed reservation for much less, so we decided to wait and see what Budget would do. When we finally reached the counter, the Budget representative told us we were required to buy their insurance or they would not release the car. We explained the multiple layers of coverage we already had, but he insisted it was not acceptable and presented a total of approximately $790. At that moment, it became clear why every customer before us was so angry. We objected and told him we could easily call for a ride and rent elsewhere for less. The agent said he needed to speak with his manager to "see what he could do." After about five minutes in the back room, he returned with a "best offer" of $669.08--still more than double our original confirmed price. He also confided that he had raised concerns with his manager about these practices but had been ignored. Save yourself the frustration, wasted time, and unexpected charges: do not rent from this Budget location at Cancún Airport.

Had fueling and insurance scams happen to us, after we avoided their false damage scam. 1. They charge you "required" additional insurance even though the reservation specifically states the price includes the required insurance ("Third Party Liability is included in all rental rates") and after the long wait for their shuttle to take you to a location far from the airport, you're stuck paying hundreds of dollars more just to get a car. 2. They lie about how much gas was initially in the car and then charge you an exorbitant amount for the (small) difference, even though we returned the car with more gas than when we received it. We carefully took videos of the outside of the car to ensure we avoid them scamming us for fake damage on return, but didn't think to take a picture of the gas tank display since it's written on the rental agreement, only for them to completely disregard that (like the ignored the terms in their own reservations). Seems like this gas scam is their (new) way of scamming those who they can't scam for fake damage. They're also super rude and aggressive, threatening us when we tried to indicate on the sales documents that we were being coerced into signing and paying for their scam charges.

Initially they said would take them another 50 minutes to retrieve me at 2 kilometers away. Eventually, I and another family arrived at the ACE/Movii car rental place. I had already paid for the car rental upfront on Wisecars for a full 12 days in Cancun MX which included CDW & TP insurance. When I arrived Ace (aka Movii) wanted a $400 USD ransome for what they claimed was insurance on the car in Cancun. This was about identical to the base rate I'd already paid beforehand for the car in the US. There was an extended "discussion", but of course I needed the car to get to Carmen and it was already dark outside. ACE/Movii simply wouldn't let me take the car without paying this ransome amount and a $1000 deposit (the family before me paid some amount more than that). ACE/Movii isn't listed on Googlemaps in the correct location, making it another outrageous event finding the place on the way back. Now, you know why.
