The pictures saved me one time and when I showed the picture to the return agent he apologized and ended any problem right there. Make sure everything works and it has 4 good tires and it does not drive weird or brake badly. Had issues with this in the past.


I would make sure that you have 5 tires!

I have found that Hertz is the only rental company that doesn't force you to purchase insurance; and their rates are usually competitive with the other agencies. I can't tell you how many times I have tried other agencies (National, Avis, Fox, Europcar) lured by the low daily rate, only to be told at the counter that the insurance was mandatory and usually around $20/day, which doubled the cost of the rental.

any ideas on stopping a $75 weekly rental from turning into $180/week? i need to call my CC company and see what they will cover. also, if i have full Mex insurance on my personal vehicle does this take the place of any of the rental insurance?

how about this one?:mad:

I have a 2012 Toyota Avanza . 5 doors, automatic transmission and ice cold A/C.
60.00 dollars per day X 7 days = 420.00 dollars TOTAL with a FREE TANK OF
GASOLINE included.
We deliver FULL and you return it EMPTY at no cost.


Or, a 2010 Nissan Tilda ( Sentra ). 4 doors, automatic transmission and ice cold
A/C.
60.00 dollars per day X 7 days = 420.00 dollars TOTAL with a FREE TANK OF
GASOLINE included.
Our terms are cash in US dollars at time of delivery.
As always, these rates include FULL INSURANCE ( we even accept the risk for the
deductable ),
UNLIMITED MILEAGE, MEETING YOU AT THE AIRPORT and YOU LEAVING IT AT THE AIRPORT
WHEN YOU DEPART.
EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING, EVERYTHING. NO SURPRISES.

If either of these will work for you PLEASE get back to me as soon as possible
as we are almost completely booked for that time period.
I will await your reply.
Thank you.
Dominic.

My $122 for 11 day rental with Dollar turned into $445 with mandatory liability insurance and tax. It was the Nissan Tilda which drove around 5 passengers minimum, and 8 max. a time or two!
Shuttle from airport to San Lucas was about $17/ person, so for the 5 of us it would have been close to $200 just for that!
