Not ONLY did they not have the car I booked, but they also didn't have ANY cars at all. Ruined a full day of work meetings and caused me and my team a lot of stress. I will NOT be using Thrifty or Kayak again. Extremely annoyed and upset with the service - will be recommending against both Thrifty and Kayak in the future. Thanks for nothing.

Car was clean and relatively new.

Car had no gas in it when picked up. (Red light on). One of the wheels didn’t have air pressure with pressure notification light on at pick up. No credit was given when car was returned with Kore than half tank more at return. Credit card info was stolen from the system by someone who was trying to charge the card for other purposes.

The car did sit all of the people that we had in our party, but, we were not informed that you cannot have anyone under the age of 12 sitting in the front middle seat.

When we arrived, they did not have our car available, even though we had a reservation. Our plane was delayed and their response was well you were not here at the time of the reservation. We had to wait an hour for a vehicle and nobody explained the huge price increase for insurance coverage until we were picking up the car.

2 hours for geting the contract that they made us pay at the end for a ridiculous value, while it was the most expensive car i have rent in my life (much more expensive in Mexico that Europe which is curious), we felt they were not serious in their client relations when they asked 20 usd and took me an hour to give the car back, they were nice at the agency but their system is appoarently responsible there was no way for them to take into account that we rent the car for almost 1000usd for 6 days, and made us pay 2 hours more wherease we took the car at 12 on departure day instead of 10 am ( because of all the discussions about insurances, additional driver, checkin forms etc)

We picked a location that was walking distance from where we stayed. We got an upgrade to a mid size SUV, which really helped since there were four of us traveling, and some of the roads in the countryside were not paved. Be prepared to wait to pick up your car.

The car itself was fine. The local rental car counter service was terrible. They demanded physical passports , even though there is NOTHING in the terms and conditions that state this. They wouldn’t accept photos or allow us to change it. They were terrible to deal with.

Pick - Up Staff was available.

1. Drop off Staff was fast but checked the car 3 times to try and find dents or scratches to charge extra for. 2. After driving 1.5 hrs out of the city, the Key FOB started to malfunction and was sporadic in sending the single to start the car or lock/unlock the doors. This was anxiety producing as we were traveling for several days outside of the city. 3. Tire pressure light was on constantly 4. Car felt cheap even though it was a full-size sedan. 5. Car lacked power to merge on/off highways well and could barely make it up steep hills.

I strongly recommend against renting a car from this location. I recently rented from this location and couldn't regret it more. I'm an Avis Preferred member who frequently rents cars for both business and personal travel in the US and abroad. I've rented cars in Jordan, Turkey, South Africa, and Georgia among other countries (just to offer some perspective). I waited over an hour at this location to receive my rental, which caused me to have to cancel plans; and on my return it took another forty-five minutes, which caused my taxi fare to double in price while I waited. The act of picking up a rental should never cause a customer to have to cancel appointments. Unfortunately, this isn't the worst of it. Upon my return, the employees claimed damage to a tire -- a "bump in the rubber" to be precise. The tire was is perfect working condition; again, the tire was not flat. When inspecting the vehicle before taking possession, the employees did not mention a need to inspect the tires, even after I prompted confirmation that we had reviewed all the necessary components of the vehicle. To summarize, the employee with whom I inspected the vehicle told me we'd covered everything and it was not necessary to inspect the tires, but upon return they changed their story and claimed damage. I had fortunately purchased full insurance (which absurdly tripled the cost of the rental), so this claim is of minor detail to me at this point. But I write this review to caution others from renting here, as I suspect that the employees will invent damage in order to charge you additional fines. The entire exchange seemed very much a scam, so consider your rental carefully and if possible, go elsewhere for a car in Mexico City. A final note: Avis Customer Service, whom I called to speak with about this experience, had little to say and offered nothing in the way of remedying this experience of mine. When renting from a known company, one expects consistent experience regardless of city or country, otherwise, I'd just rent from a locally-owned company and pay less. In short, I'd recommend another rental company altogether.

I designated a rental car pick up time for 6am. When I arrived the MexRental car station was empty and without a representative while others rental car places did. We ended up calling MexRental, and they told us they would be picking us up, but no one showed. They kept moving us back at forth between to pick up destinations, and told us someone would call us if they couldn’t find us. No one ever called. This went on for an hour. We ended up not getting a rental vehicle at all. It was a complete waste of time and a horrible way to start my vacation.

Rental car given to us with an empty tank of gas. The rental car agency forced us to buy an insurance plan when our travel credit card included rental insurance in Mexico. The insurance cost twice as much as the rental car itself.

Nothing

They false advertise. They had quoted me $118 for the whole week. When I arrived, they want to force you to take their “protection”. The rate went from $118 to over $500 It is a scam. There was another foreign customer there that was facing the same issue, These company is dishonest and want to take advantage of their customers. Stay away

It took a while to convince the overzealous agent to accept my credit card's CDW. He would just not acquiesce that Mexico City is indeed covered under worldwide CDW. Dropping off was quite hard to find where exactly to drive at the airport because there are no signs anywhere. The car could've had an electronic lock.

- the car I had reserved was not available and the choice I was given was either a micro-sized car or an upsell - if the reserved car is not available it should be free. The vehicle given was old and rickety, having 70K on the clock. Crazy to be given that as an upsell. Also an unneccessary 'compulsory' that I have never had to pay before in Mexico insurance charge was added. I ended up paying just to get out but this was not good value for money

We arrived within the 2 hour pickup window clearly stated on the customer rental agreement. However, both the sales rep (and the manager) would not recognize our rate and were pushing us to pay $240 more for the 1 day rental. When we refused, they started bargaining - reducing it to $120 USD, then $85 as their "final offer." As a global brand, we expected Hertz to maintain it's quality - no matter its location. We were hoping to avoid such bad experiences like this by going with your company. We ended up just canceling the car for the day -- missing all the activities we already planned and booked for the day (losing that money and our valuable vacation time).

The car was ok.

Hertz staff are quite unprofessional, disrespectful and uninformed. Besides charging me almost twice as much due to out-of-the-blue fees (including "hotel fees," and a supposed sales tax of 64%, which was further taxed at the end), when I requested to talk with the manager, the sales person said he was needed at some other location, which was evidently false as I could confirm when I said I could wait. The manager refused to talk with us, notwithstanding the fact that he was there the whole time. By the time we left having paid an excess of 40 dollars, the office was crowded with upset customers who Hertz staff were ignoring.

They were not able to find my reservation. So I used another company with better rates.
