Customer service was Good and helpful that’s for sure. The Car alarm system shut the car off on Saturday at 10 am and we didn’t get a replacement till Sunday around noon or after. Apparently some system malfunction from satellite security. They accommodated by taking two days off from car rental and allowed me to return gas at half a tank. However, it did effect our vacation plans for those two days as I had to make other arrangements to travel. Luckily for me I was able to leave the vehicle in a safe spot and move the car into an area that it didn’t affect the home owners. It affected my Family Plans and Traveling trips for those Days. I didn’t want to complain to that specific dealer as I knew they couldn’t do much else for me. However I expect AVIS or Kayak to do right by making this right.

An additional USD$1000 had to be paid for insurance, that I thought I selected in my rental price selection. The car smelled like a dead rat, which was hard to get rid off.

The pick up was bad. The gentleman wasn’t there on the premises. We called and he said he would be there in 5 minutes. He took almost an hour to arrive and the temperature outside his office was extremely hot. We kept calling and he just lied his way till he arrived with a beat up Nissan xtrail when I had requested a vw suv according to the reservation. Car had dents and front bumper was loose. I wasn’t very convinced since I was returning car to another location. The drop off was nice and friendly tho. They didn’t give me the issues I was dreading of having returning the car in bad shape. Overall I would rather stick to a better rental company than this one next time I travel to Cabo.

Cars are very dirty, dented, cracked head and tail lights. Tires are as bald as can be. One of the cars we were offered had zip ties holding the hub cap to the rim. We ended up canceling since all the cars available were in poor condition unsafe to drive. We felt if we took one of the offered cars it would brake down, cause an accident to ourselves or others. Poor unsafe condition. Cancelled on the spot never took possession of any car at the lot. Unsafe vehicles , Budget should be ashamed of the vehicles it offers as rentals at this location.
I did not get to Rent the car, insurance 500% higher than rental car, too much money. I did not use rental car, the company says I can not rent the car. I am complaining need a refund.

The agency ended up adding $65 in charges for insurance when their normal rental car price including everything is the same amount.
O order a specific vehicle for a reason, when I got there they did not have it and give me something else instead.

Car was dented and dated. Back window was broken and engine made knocking sound when idling. They required a $5,000 USD deposit - which is unusual. Other car companies in the area require a MUCH lower deposit. The whole interaction/exchange felt like a scam.

Easy pick up experience. Quick in quick out. Not nearly as much paperwork as others. And for once, the full insurance option is actually at a reasonable price and even included more coverage than other rental agencies that charge more. Alejandro even called me a couple weeks in advance to let me know about the insurance options so that I would have a chance to research and see that it was a good deal. I've rented a lot of cars in my life and this was just a pleasant surprisingly good experience
