Everything was great. Easy process during a busy holiday time. No delays, great staff, small and efficient car worked great and had impressive power to drive on the dirt roads in Mexico. Would recommend this company.

Ripoff. They advertise one price then jacked it up over double on site. Didn’t take the car.

Friendly staff and very efficient service in picking up and returning the car.
We reserved a large, 15-passenger van and were given 2 minivans instead. They said they would call us when a 15-passenger van became available, we never heard back. I also believe we were overcharged based on the pricing we saw online, but didn't have a screenshot or anything else to prove that 2 minivans were going to cost less than 1 large van.

the actual charges were 4 times what was quoted and the car was a piece of junk. It didn’t hold the amount of luggage it claimed and the handling the car had was terrible, bordering on dangerous.

All was great, but car died an hour after the pickup. On the other hand they handled it really well. They got to the restaurant we were in about 30min. Drove us to our hotel, and brought the replacement in about 80 min. So not too bad…. We did loose a few hour on the beach on day one though.

Be warned about their insurance policy! I had to pay quite a lot, additionally, for full coverage that was unexpected. If you book through kayak, make sure you understand their policies before you arrive.
I showed up and Alamo did not have a car for us. They must have overbooked themselves for these dates and chose not to honour our reservation.

Car was old and poorly maintained, with check engine light and brake lights constantly warning on imminent issues. Rate "negotiations" for insurance coverage was demeaning and unacceptable for a major brand

Drop off was a breeze. Location and shuttle was great too. It would be so helpful if the company would just inform people of the extra charges ahead of time so they don’t have so many angry people at pick up feeing like they are getting lied to. There’s mandatory collision and liability insurance that are additional daily fees and you can only get them through their company. There’s daily extra driver fees, roadside, and they didn’t even give us a car that was comparable to the one we thought we were getting. Explaining all this ahead of time so there aren’t any surprises upon arrival would be so much better for customers. The “total” upon reserving online is never the case. It’s really another $500 on top of that. Just say so instead having hidden fees.
They want to charge me for a new tire when Mexico has huge potholes everywhere

Our flight was delayed so instead of picking up the car at noon, we arrived at 1:30, and were informed that our car had been “given away” and there were no cars for us to rent. The dude basically just shrugged and said there was nothing he could do to help when we asked what we were supposed to do without a car. We then had to scramble to rent with another company (and of course, same day reservations are more expensive.) We provided our flight info on the rental reservation, so it was easy to see that we were delayed. (Also, 90 minutes late seems like an extremely short window to assume someone isn’t picking up their rental regardless.) The whole thing felt like some kind of weird scam because the other rental car vendors at the airport descended on us and tried to get us to rent a car at an insane rate (one woman quote me $150 per day. I went online and got a reservation for $150 for 4 days.) it was super frustrating and unnecessarily stressful. I will definitely never rent from Sixt ever again, and will actively encourage friends and family to avoid them. Still trying to figure out how to get the insurance refunded..
Rate was aprox $140.00 but went to $299. At counter trapped in Mexico what else can you do but pay it NOT HAPPY WITH KAYA AND not MonitoringCompanies for excessive charges

Grossly overpriced, Using Uber 2-3 times/day would have been much less expensive, and much more convenient. In addition, Budget substantial "daily" insurance fee, which was not disclosed at the time I made the booking. This part is completely unacceptable.

There was nothing to like about this experience other than the friendliness of the shuttle driver and desk associate.
The car we received was old and dirty. The steering wheel was peeling and the one headlight wasn’t working. Also, the rear hatch would shake and make noise uncontrollably when driving on the highway. Terrible reventar experience.
The car was dented. Checkout took way too long. Employees were pushy Insurance was way too expensive

They did not have my reservation! I called customer service via Priceline and all they said is that I would just need to find another car. It took hours at the rental place and I spent $1000 on my rental versus $370 I planned on. The vehicle was also smaller. Will never use Kayak again.
