They didn’t respect the reservation and the car was not available at the time of pick up. Terrible experience. We ended up using a different rental car

The car ended up twice as expensive. It rattled like crazy. The check-in was long and not straightforward. Hidden fees, lots of pushing for extras, and a long wait. I went with a known brand because I had heard negative things about renting a car in Mexico. And for the most part the negatives were true.

They gave us a car with the back indicator light not working, luckily we thought to check all lights before leaving lot.. mexico is notorious for pulling cars over, this would have been the perfect excuse. This created an hour delay as they had to get us a different car and new paperwork. Even though we brought our own collision insurance with a letter from our credit car provider, they tacked on a $10 daily charge for a tracking monitor.

Pick up - hard sales pitches to try to get upgraded coverage Drop off - took 90 minutes and nearly missed my flight. Was charged for a missing hubcap when the car was missing 2/4 to start and was returned with only 1/4. I only drove a half tank total and have never lost a hub cap in my life. It took 60 minutes before they even got to inspecting the vehicle and another 30 for inspection and damage claim. The hub caps were clearly either put on poorly or did not fit the vehicle properly given the other missing ones.

Europcar is very challenging to deal with. They try to add many insurances and it is hard to know what is actually included.

Pick up and drop off we’re both stressful. They seemed to be very understaffed. They also tried to trick us into buying their insurance even though everything I read said it wasn’t legal and that if we had coverage elsewhere that would work. At drop off there was no one to help us and a long line of people waiting to return their cars.

Thieves. You should not be allowing them on your site. I knew a car rental wouldn’t be $15 like your advertisement but the dealer said it was about $100/day. Rushed me to sign off on “just a basic agreement “. Said gas was included (didn’t want that, too late) and I could return it empty. Reading contract for return, it said gas would be charged if I didn’t fill it up (I had to) and the price became $1,500+ for 9 days. Thieves! Thieves! Thieves!

This was one of the worst car rental places I’ve ever been to. Be aware that Mexican law requires you to have personal liability insurance. This is why the rental rates themselves appear so low but then when you arrive you are forced to take out an expensive insurance policy. In our case a five day rental was $60 but the insurance was over $300. Even though we have car insurance provided by our credit card, this was limited to CDW so we were forced to buy the rental Companies insurance policy. While this is not unique to Europcar the attitude of the staff was not friendly. Everyone in the agency was fighting the same fight. The return process can also be very slow. In our case there were not enough staff processing car returns so it took over 30 mins.

Convenient and decent price (though not cheap) from a reputable brand. People at site are helpful. Oscar was good. Word of caution: check your vehicle VERY carefully for damage before accepting the car and take pictures. They may claim you damaged the car and try to withhold your deposit if they think you damaged the car.

price indicated by kayak/national 1290,87€ is completely wrong / misleading as it does not include the minimum MANDATORY insurance !!! (+/- 400€, only covering third party responsibility !!!) in total I paid 1795€ (+40%) without any proper insurance. for a "full" insurance, they requested another +/- 850€ that I was not willing to pay This is "organized theft" as when your are at the National rental office, 10 minutes in shuttle away from the Cancun Airport, you have no choice anymore... I fully understand that options are not included in the price quoted online but not the mandatory insurance. I will use other providers in the future.

Nothing. Never got to rent the car.

No one at the airport was able to help us get to national. Ended up talking to a Hertz representative and get a better price.
