I picked this company because they had an airport location; thinking I would not have to shuttle offsite to get the car. That wasn’t the case; I had to take a shuttle to an offsite location. FYI. Also, the $322 weekly rental turned out to be $714 because of the required insurance. Over double the amount we anticipate spending.
The staff were pretty rude and behaved as though we were inconveniencing them when I asked for a receipt. Car was pretty worn but it got us around just fine. The reason for the review was really just about the staff specifically at check out

Mediocre|Apr 2023
The check-in & drop-off process is a total cluster with zero organization or signage to let anyone, no matter what language, knows what to do. Taking 30+ minutes to pick up a car when I'm an Avis member is insulting. Last time in Puerto Vallarta I rented with Hertz & it was a quick & easy in & out process. Guess who I'll be using in the future in Puerto Vallarta? Definitely not Avis...

Very good|Feb 2023
Overall it was pretty easy. The guys that helped with the inspection and return were professional and friendly. The car was in ok condition, definitely a bit rough around the edges, but it functioned well; the cars do have a hard life down there with the rough roads. Overall an easy experience with no heavy upsell, which is always nice to avoid.

The only thing we didn't like is at checkout no paperwork is given. Instead, they check you out, say thank you and that follow-up will be done via email. Paperwork of expected charges would be comforting.
They didn’t have a car when I got there! No replacements either. I needed a car for 6 people and their only response was rent two. I didn’t have another driver.
Do not rent with them : the place doesn’t exist in Vallarta

e sure to read the fine print. I was quoted 149.00 for 7 days total. Yes it sounds to good to be true and it was. I even have the email that I have read over and over. When I arrived in Puerto Vallerta the price was closer to 500.00. I should have known better,. Their customer servoice was not the best. I walked next door to AVIS and rented a car for 450.00 for 7 days on the spot. I would not recommend ACE ever.....,

We didn’t actually take the car because we weren’t aware of the $500 in insurance we would have had to pay. So we declined.

This place doesn’t seem to exist. Do yourself a favor and avoid it. Wound up without a car for a couple days and then got hosed through a different company for not having a prior reservation. I won’t say it ruined my trip, but it certainly added a lot of unexpected stress and expense.

When I got there they presented me with a 300% price increase and refused to accept my reserved price.
Was charged a different price than quoted, was forced to buy Hertz insurance.

Terrible experience. They did not have the car we had booked for our reservation. I had originally booked a standard SUV for 300 American dollars. They only had a Jeep and a compact car, we definitely would had not fit our 4 ppl and all our luggage in the compact car. Asked for the price of the Jeep and they were trying to charge us 1700 American dollars. I know it’s never the price they actually quote you for but come on now, that’s more that 5 times what we were quoted for the SUV. What a joke! Did not give them our business and definitely never will when we go back.
Clarity on what to expect for price is needed. Reserving the car didn’t indicate that there would be hundreds of dollars in additional costs

Beware Friends! This is a total cash grab! I used Kayak to rent a car in Mexico. What they failed to include in the advertised price was the cost of insurance. The company I my rental was through would only allow you to take the car if you used their insurance or paid the total value of the car up front! Yes that’s right they wanted $14 000.00US. This was false advertisement on Kayak’s part. The price should have included the cost of the non-negotiable insurance price. The insurance was so expensive, we didn’t take the rental. We actually thought it might be a scam. They wouldn’t accept any insurance coverage you have on a credit card or through your own insurance company. The couple in front of us was sold insurance through the booking site AND the car company still would not accept it. Shame on you kayak for not including this information up front. I only found it after in the small print. You can start to fix this by including the total cost of the car + insurance and refunding me my money back.
