Anyone have any experience with Ace rent a car- agents are Cactus car rental at Cabo airport? They are coming up the cheapest at $160/week plus 9/day for liability insurance (mandatory). Plan is to CDW with my Visa CC.

I rented from Ace out of LA. It was the cheapest on carrentals.com
No Problems.
I have no idea what CDW is. (Careless doodoo walking?)

Dollar in SJD doesn't force the CDW (Collision Damage Waiver..i.e. overpriced sort of insurance) on you. When you compare rates, take the price of CDW into account for a net price as it varies wildly; $0.00 is a good price. Most credit cards that offer CDW coverage (i.e. gold cards) DO cover Mexico; just that the agencies make gross amounts of money by "forcing" you to have their coverage. Dollar makes you sign a form saying that you'll pay them and its your headache to deal with your insurance company. Fair enough in my mind. I was surprised when the guy next to me took FULL coverage and they made him sign a form saying he took FULL coverage...guess they try to cover their butts every direction.
