Cautiously a few days before the trip, I checked my reservations, and looked for the online reviews of this provider Mex Rent A Car, in which I found very worrying comments, especially that many people complained because when they arrived at the counter they were informed that their car had already been delivered to someone else because they only separated it by 40 minutes from the time of the reservation. So I called on December 16 on two occasions to the company Mex Rent A Car, to make sure that this was not going to happen to me since my flight arrived at 13:55 and not at 12:00 as it was in my reservation, both people confirmed that this was not a problem, it is more that I had 6 hours to pick up the vehicle, however, I still asked for my arrival to be updated to 15:00 to give me time to pick up my luggage and arrive at the company's premises. I was confident that it would be so and I would have no problem.
On December 25 we landed a little earlier than scheduled, waited for our bags and finally went to the Mex Rent A Car counter that is directly leaving through the immigration and customs door, where they told us to go out and look for a vehicle with their logo which would take us to the place of delivery of the vehicle. We left and quickly found the vehicle and were dropped off at the vehicle delivery offices (a dirt road place where everything gets dirty, suitcases, shoes, etc).
I introduced myself, and a lady decided to attend me and informed me that my vehicle was no longer available and that I would surely not want to pay the difference to get another one, I was truly surprised since as I explained before I had called and they confirmed that it would not be a problem, and also the lady who already seemed to be making decisions for me that I would not want to take another vehicle. I tried to reason with this lady, but she said that was their policy (policy not written anywhere where I rent or reserve the vehicle), I called the central where they simply could not do anything for me and I have no choice but to pay the difference ($500 extra) for a GWM brand TANK vehicle, which is a vehicle that did not meet my needs, a vehicle that to get on and on the elderly people who were traveling with me was very complicated, we had to buy a stool to use it as an extra step and also a vehicle with very high gas consumption.
Finally I finish my trip and return the vehicle much cleaner than what they gave it to me and very upset because they did not even thank me which led me to look for the PROFECO office at the airport of Mérida and put there an initial complaint, where I was informed that I could do this procedure and they explained my rights completely. read more
