Cons:

Plane arrived late, there was no one at the Alamo counter in the airport despite still being within hours of operation. I was told they close at any time if they no longer have cars to rent, but then my reservation was not honored. Will never rent from Alamo again, poor customer service in puerto Vallarta.

Pros:

Terrible staff. Location is NOT in airport, it’s miles away. Made us wait for 20 minutes for pick up. Once there they did not let me deny insurances although I am insured by Amex. The forced insurances were more expensive than the car rental itself. I tried talking to the manager but he was equal or worst than the employees. When we checked the car for damages I tried to do a video but the employee would not acknowledge the date, name or name of the company. Left my Amex cc open for a couple thousand dollars only to fin out one day later that “someone” tried to use my card for internet purchases upwards of $3,000 usd. TERRIBLE COMPANY

Cons:

Honesty. Service. Timing. Acknowledging and actually charging me what I reserved.

This company is a time share front. Extraordinary "mandatory Insurance" cost. Felt like extortion. Then they offer the refund if you attend a time share presentation for Vidanta Resorts. Value of rebate seems to be the value of the insurance. SHAME on KAYAK for representing this company. You will be finding more detail coming soon on a facebook and trip advisor post naming all involved. MEXC car rental is absolutely dishonest and your stuck at the counter in a foreign country when you discover this.

The check-in & drop-off process is a total cluster with zero organization or signage to let anyone, no matter what language, knows what to do. Taking 30+ minutes to pick up a car when I'm an Avis member is insulting. Last time in Puerto Vallarta I rented with Hertz & it was a quick & easy in & out process. Guess who I'll be using in the future in Puerto Vallarta? Definitely not Avis...

I opted for the full coverage insurance and was told that the total would be $490. After returning the car, the total was $630. Not only was this place completely dishonest, they couldn't have been in any less of a hurry. Took us over an hour to get checked in and almost an hour to return the car.

Overall it was pretty easy. The guys that helped with the inspection and return were professional and friendly. The car was in ok condition, definitely a bit rough around the edges, but it functioned well; the cars do have a hard life down there with the rough roads. Overall an easy experience with no heavy upsell, which is always nice to avoid.

KAYAK

Pros:

The folks at the car rental office were excellent. Spoke English well, and were very helpful. Often, renting a car in Mexico can be an ordeal, as the business model is "give the car away, but gouge for as much insurance money as you can." This was different; I have an umbrella policy that covers everything but international car rental liability, so that was all the coverage I purchased with the rental. No problema. The guys in the office completely understood and didn't give me the usual arm-twisting. I'll def use this agency again!

Cons:

I reserved a Camry with automatic. I got a tiny little Chevy with manual tranny and everything else, too. (No cruise? No power mirrors? No remote locking? What is this? 1967?) But that is a petty complaint, considering the overall experience.

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.

Pros:

Liability only insurance was $28 per day. There is no sign at the airport directing you to this company. One staff member in the office to process the paperwork for cars going out and coming back. Between trying to find the company 30 minutes and the one staff in the office it seemed to take an hour and half to rent the car. To top it off I have never paid so much for liability insurance only. The girl said the rate was higher because of the holiday season. Usually I am out the door with ins and car for $250. This was $375 for 6 days in a Jetta. Seemed like a scam.

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.

Terrible experience. They did not have the car we had booked for our reservation. I had originally booked a standard SUV for 300 American dollars. They only had a Jeep and a compact car, we definitely would had not fit our 4 ppl and all our luggage in the compact car. Asked for the price of the Jeep and they were trying to charge us 1700 American dollars. I know it’s never the price they actually quote you for but come on now, that’s more that 5 times what we were quoted for the SUV. What a joke! Did not give them our business and definitely never will when we go back.

The car was fine and the people in the Puerto Vallarta office spoke English which was nice. It was nice to be able to pick up in Puerto Vallarta and drop off in Guadalajara.

Cons:

The one way fee of $200 seemed excessive but the fact that the mandatory insurance cost even more was totally unexpected. Although Mexican drivers are crazy so while expensive, the insurance is probably worth it if you get in an accident. It would have been nice to know the cost of the insurance ahead of time. It was unanticipated and cut into our budget.

Pros:

Car was clean

Cons:

1. High-Pressure tactics about taking insurance... You are not obligated to take their insurance (Visa Cards often cover you), and they charge you 90% of the cost of the rental in INSURANCE - my car cost $200/day !!!!! It was just a VW Jetta.... 2. They refuse to rent you the car, unless you take the minimum insurance 3. They hold your CC hostage for many thousands of dollars, unless you take their insurance. 4. Rent from: Gecko or SIXT - honest and good people who INCLUDE the cost of the insurance in the price per day!!!

I was upset of the fact the rates went up from what I had reserved online to what I ended up paying. Horrible customer service in pick up. Will never use them again!

Pros:

The car itself was just fine.

Cons:

The actual pickup location added about 100% in extra taxes and fees from what was both advertised and reserved. It literally doubled the cost of the car. Very, very misleading.

The staff at pickup was good and the vehicle overall was satisfactory.

Pros:

Ease of booking via priceline and the seemingly good price

Cons:

Once at PVR, the taxes, fees, and "required" insurance coverage nearly tripled the cost of the car rental. Plus, we had to wait 1 hour for the shuttle to Enterprise, after being told that a car wasn't available via Budget (the rental company confirmed by Payless).

Pros:

If you want to pay more.....Payless!

Cons:

Reservation was made for an SUV to fit 4 people plus golf gear. Upon arrival, they did not have an SUV available so offered us a Jetta. They also don't include mandatory insurance in their quote (doubled the price of the rental). As we could not fit all the people + gear in the Jetta, 2 people had to take a taxi to our destination. +80$. The office was not open early enough before our return flight which again meant another 2 taxi's from punta mita to PVR. The (child?) manager Jaime was openly rude, unhelpful, and unwilling to compromise despite us paying out of pocket for three 40 minute taxis due to their screw ups. He even told us that the taxi we booked through the 4 seasons was "not a real taxi" then suddenly he went back to not being able to speak english. Huge waste of time and money on our vacation. Could not urge you to look elsewhere strongly enough.

Cons:

We made a rental reservation online prior to arriving in Mexico. The rental rate was very, very inexpensive, but we figured that was because the region didn't have many renters. When we arrived at the rental facility after 6 hours of travel, burdened with our luggage, we were told that there was an additional $38/day rental cost to cover liability insurance. The fact that I have individual auto insurance and rental insurance through my credit card company didn't matter. What a complete and total ripoff. Because the car wasn't absolutely essential, we ended up calling a taxi and paying 1/3 of what we would have paid for the rental. When I make a booking that tells me all taxes and fees are included, I expect that to be true when I arrive to pick up my vehicle.

Cons:

You get offered a very low rate for the car. But, upon arrival you are forced to buy required minimum insurance, which was quoted at oaver $300. They even lowered it to "negotiate". I've rented cars in Mexico before and I'm well aware 3PL insurance is required in Mexico and your insurance and your credit card insurance does not cover this. It normally ranges $10-15 a day MAX. So for a 7 day rental a $300 charge for this insurance was a total scam and makes it feel very timeshare like game playing. When I rent a car, show the price of the car to me and don't hike the cost of ancillary insurance to make up for the low cost of the actual car rental. It is a very shady way of operating a business and I walked out of the rental place, took a taxi and called it a day.

Pros:

Once we got the vehicle we wanted it served it’s purpose

Cons:

We were completely scammed from the minute that we walked into the Hertz office in Mexico. They took advantage of us and it was very sad. Even though our taxes and fees were including the rental price they forced additional taxes and fees which we knew was incorrect. They forced us to get insurance when we wanted to waive it and we had already confirmed that we had insurance with both our auto company and through our credit card before hand. We were also forced to pay for the full tank of gasoline when we have only usedLess than half. The entire experience was very unfortunate and wrong. They also wouldn’t give us the keys to our vehicle until we sat through a seminar on excursions and “” discounts because we got a car rental. We should not have been forced to do that.

I picked this company because they had an airport location; thinking I would not have to shuttle offsite to get the car. That wasn’t the case; I had to take a shuttle to an offsite location. FYI. Also, the $322 weekly rental turned out to be $714 because of the required insurance. Over double the amount we anticipate spending.

Top tips for hiring a car at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz airport

  • While you might consider other forms of ground transportation to the city center, renting a Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport (PVR) car provides an easy, private, and comfortable means of getting around Puerto Vallarta. Taxis and buses come at significantly cheaper rates, but none gives you the liberty and smooth ride to various POIs like a rental car. Besides, a car rental at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport lets you select your preferred car based on your travel needs.
  • Although Puerto Vallarta is a big coastal city with an extensive road network, driving in the city is relatively easy and safe. The traffic laws in Mexico require drivers to steer on the far right side of the road, with the left lane designated for passing/overtaking. Additionally, you must be on the right-hand-side lane to make a left turn, which can take some time to get used to.
  • Unless you plan to make long trips (more than 300 miles), you won’t need an international driving permit as the Mexican traffic laws recognize a U.S. driver’s license. To drive safely, you need to understand speed limits in the city. Unless indicated otherwise, the speed limit of major highways is 110 km/h (68 mph), which drops to 100 km/h (62 mph) when leaving or entering the city, 70 km/h (43 mph) in built-up areas, 80 km/h (50mph) on avenues, 60 km/h (37 mph) on streets, and 10 km/h in residential areas and parking lots. That said, you need to drive under different speed limits when approaching certain zones. For example, where the speed limit is set at 50 km/h (30 mph) on highways, you are not supposed to exceed 40 km/h (25 mph) when approaching school zones.
  • Wondering whether you should refuel your tank when returning the car? Your car rental will always offer you the option for a prepay refill, or you can choose not to refill it. The former allows you to cater to full-tank charges during pickup, which alleviates additional fuel costs and will enable you to drive around over an extended period. If you choose not to refill the tank to the same level you found it, your car rental at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport will charge you for the used fuel.
  • Book your car hire at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz airport at least 9 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price
