Typical big rental company scam. Offer low rental rate and rip you off with the insurance costs when you pick up the vehicle. I had proof of CDW coverage from my credit card bank but they had some reason it wasn't acceptable. Final price would have been 3 times the original quote. I went to a local company and got a better car and saved myself US$600.00 for the 4 week rental.

You should advertise how much is the amount you freeze on people’s credit card in order to trick/scam them into either take YOUR insurance or to keep the rental payment incase we don’t want to stay with your rental service due to the lack of information provided ahead. I mean we know that’s your tactic but it very sneaky and unprofessional and nope not recommending your company. How is it normal that if we take the insurance through Kayak you still force people to give a credit card deposit of 13k USD , wth is that. And kayak too should let their customers know what to expect once at destination. Definitely not going through you next time and will go to the others who are more straight forward.

An absolute rip off. Prices are not accurate. Salesmen try to force you into expensive insurance (over $100 per day) and after going back and forth for an hour they said, ok but you have to put a $13,000 hold on your card to rent. Ended up just leaving without the car. Would NEVER use this company in the future and would recommend my friends and coworkers steer clear of this absolute joke of a company. Stick with reputable car rental services like Enterprise, Avis or Hertz.

They didn’t find the reservation. Also, they told me that if they could find it, it will be a $35,000 USD deposit. Which is a straight-up lie. Completely unprofessional and lazy.

We rented 2 cars, they told us they didn't have one of our cars available so they said they would give us something similar which was fine. We waited hours to get our car and when we had our cars ready to go the smaller one wasn't even what they told us they would give us. Plus, for each you have to give a down deposit of approximately 3000$ usd each. Even if we had insurance for both cars we still had to give a deposit. It's insane. We had 2 cars and total amount of deposit was close to 7000 usd $. Returning the cars was easy though. We didn't get our deposit back after 2 days ... i cant wait to see about that they said it can be up to 96 hours....

It doesn’t matter where or for how much you book anything. They’ll create a new reservation and charge you an unreasonable rate. It’s a game and you’re sport.

- budget said they didn’t have my reservation on file because I made it 24 hours ago - they said they’ll do a direct deal with me - they charged me $76 / day instead of $37 as agreed per my Kayak booking - they charged me extra for insurance (the Kayak price didn’t mention this ?)

The agent misrepresented what we had booked and included unnecessary charges that we did not understand because they were in pesos. As a result , we paid almost double the amount of our reservarion. We got scammed.

Our flight was delayed in landing and by the time we made it to the check in desk at hertz our car was no longer held. I was informed that the policy was for hertz to hold it only 60 minutes after the my check in time. We had 6 passenger so we need at least that many seat belt. A vehicle was eventually found for us but not until I was up sold over $600 at the counter. I’m not sure why we bothered to hav a reservation to only be gauged and delayed. Thankfully our 3 year old’s iPad’s battery didn’t die.

Renting in Mexico is a nightmare. When I declined their “optional” insurance, they put a &2,200 hold on my credit card. In order for them to remove the hold on my credit card I was forced to take the insurance. Credit card holds are typically $250. Hertz Mexico has lost their minds. When I told them to just keep the rental and I would find transportation, he then told me I would have to pay at least one day because he had written the contract. Absolutely terrible service!

The car was clean pick up easy except for drop off.

Before leaving when I picked up the car I specifically asked about the gas—whether or not I had to bring it back with a full tank and they said no. Turns out I did and was charged crazy high price for gas when I returned it.

They sold the car before we got there, so the reservation was pointless. The customs took 1.5 hours which they claimed caused them to believe we didn't want the car. We had to walk the line and pay twice as much for a car.
