Cheap Car Rentals in Los Cabos

This turned out to be an absolute scam. I completed the rental on Kayak for a four day trip in Cabo for $100 total. Upon checkout in Cabo they notified me that there was a local insurance requirement that would add approximately $1,000 to my cost (yes 10x my previous total bill). When I asked to just use my own insurance they gave a liability only option for $300 and a requirement to leave a $25,000 deposit (when the beat up car I was given could not have been worth more than $10,000). When I notified them I would just leave and cancel my reservation, I was told I’d need to walk back to the airport with my pregnant wife as the shuttle was for customers only and that Uber would not be an option due to them being disallowed from the area. While I found the small print in the reservation saying that potentially there could be additional costs for local insurance requirements, every aspect of the experience felt like a shakedown. When I actually started walking away, magically an all inclusive package with insurance, rental, and a tank of gas appeared for $250 total.

The vehicle we were given was good. The addons that were not in the original reservation were a ripoff. When I reserved the vehicle it came with a liability policy of $750,000. I also purchased a zero deductible collision policy. When I got to Europcar, I was forced to buy an additional liability policy for $620. I didn't have access to the details of the insurance I purchased when I reserved, but when your reservation cost goes from $381 to $820 you know that something is wrong. When you rent through Expedia make sure you take a detailed copy of what insurance you have purchased and simply reject any additional policy they say you need. I was also given a $300 credit after returning the vehicle, but I haven't seen the credit on my credit card. I would suggest having your ducks in a row. I won't be had again in a Mexican auto rental.

Did not feel comfortable with the salesman. Walked out of the office and didn't rent the car. Felt like I was being scammed. Would not recommend this place.

Loved the car but it had Manny scratches, when they did the visual inspection they only saw two scratches front bumper bottom right and left very obvious dents/Scratches. I found both rear lights scratched as well as rear bumper with a 3” scratched right at the center. Found an additional 5-7 additional 1” scratches they did not note. Recommend recording and double checking. Car rental was $19US DOLLARS per day no insurance option available until pick up with no refund. When we picked up the vehicle we had two insurance options full coverage was an additional $178.60 US dollars liability insurance was only $20 difference. I do not recommend this place, super overpriced.
