Anonymous, May 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Nothing. We didn’t end up renting the car because when I got to the Hertz counter at the airport they didn’t have my booked rental available. They only had a few Chrysler Minivans available and those fell into a higher rental tier hence they wanted to charge me an additional amount per day for it. They didn’t want to honor the booked price and wanted to charge me more for what was available. Not a good experience.

Hertz in Puerto Escondido will charge you an additional 30% on your rental with all of these tourism and local taxes. Insurance is also way too expensive, avoid this place if you can.

Pros:

Staff was great, car was clean and worked great

Cons:

Deceptive pricing online, total cost was double once it was all said and done. Also, the car started with 3/8s of a tank of gas instead of full so returning it with the same amount of gas involved extra work.

Todd, Jan 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was friendly and patient. The car was clean and in good working order. The rental location was close to the airport terminal.

Cons:

I was surprised at the counter by the requirement for a liability insurance letter from my credit card company. Because I didn't have that, Europcar's liability insurance more than doubled the price of the rental I reserved through CarRentals.com. A required credit card deposit of 10% of the value of the car was also an unwelcome surprise. These requirements could have been made more explicit in Europcar's and CarRentals.com's terms when making the reservation. Also, the rental agent spent a lot of time going over every little nick and scratch on the car before leaving the lot and upon returning the car; it felt like they were looking for a reason to charge me even more. This is not appreciated in a region with a lot of bumpy and rocky roads.

The car was very good and the employee very helpful, but they did not accept my debit card in full terms. Because of that i had to add a very expensive insurance which was annoying.

Harry, Jun 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Not one thing.

Cons:

A more clear price for the rental, to include deposit prices and additional required coverage prices. In the end the rental cost 3x as much as indicated on Kayak. Also, I was given a car with multiple existing scratches and dings. Luckily I took a video of all of the damage and was able to get my deposit back. The staff attempted to say that I caused the scratches and thus keep my deposit.

Thrifty told us they did not have a car for us, and then miraculously found one at a higher price. We were forced to pay for insurance we did not need (have an Amex platinum card that covers our instance, but was told we needed a letter from our credit card company, and geez, the WiFi was down so no way to contact them). Our original rental was $329; we ended up paying over $1000. Will never use them again. Please be aware when booking.
