    Employee taking a picture of the "damage" by holding his phone underneath the car.

    Please do not do any business with this fraudulent company. I paid for what was supposed to be a new sedan with AC and automatic transmission. The car was old and poorly maintained, barely drivable; the driver's window wouldn't fully close, the engine needed maintenance and would often stall at low speeds. I took detailed pictures of the car before the rental, from all possible angles, or so I thought. After returning the car on the same day, they wanted to charge me for some scratches underneath the car. Yes, on the bottom surface, which would not be visible and cannot be inspected or photographed without lifting a car or laying down on the ground. After 30 minutes of arguing and my attempts to call the Police, I was finally able to leave. Of course I missed my ferry to the mainland and was barely able to return to Cancun in time to catch my flight home the next morning. I have full documentation of the incident, including photos before and after the rental (they look the same, of course), photos and audio recordings of the employee whom I was dealing with, who fully agrees with me that the "damage" could not have been plausibly detected or visible on any photos taken. The attached image shows the employee taking a picture of the "damage" by holding his phone underneath the car. I used the car for a few hours only and exclusively on paved roads. I am planning to report this incident to the Department of Tourism of Quintana Roo.

    I see all of these positive reviews of this company and I just know they are fake. There is absolutely no way possible anyone has had a positive experience renting a car from this company. Maybe 10 years ago, but in 2016 and forward, you want to avoid this "business" at all cost! I take full responsibility for this disastrous experience and I just want to share the details of how things went down. It begin in Playa del Carmen as we were walking to find out information about the boats that ran to Cozumel. Juan from Rentadora comes over and I blow him off. But as it usually goes, Juan would not stop and my wife felt bad for him, so she decided to talk to him. Juan tells us how he can take care of everything and make our trip to Cozumel wonderful. Salesman working hard here. So now we are inside the little shop and Juan shows us a photo of a Chevrolet HHR convertible and says, "$55 for the day." Juan goes on to talk about other adventures we can purchase from him such as a glass bottom boat for snorkeling. I was turning down all offers, but my wife wanted a car and so we accepted his deal from the photo of the Chevrolet HHR. I said to Juan, "I want to put the entire rental on our credit card." Juan said, "no problem, I can do that." Juan informed us that we had to return the car by 8pm. That was tight, but seemed okay based on our plans on Cozumel. I asked Juan about purchasing CDW insurance. He said, "if you want, you can buy that at Cozumel for about $10." We had to return to our hotel to gather some things before making the journey to Cozumel. Juan required a deposit for the car to hold it for us. So we left 400 pesos as a deposit. Juan was generous enough to offer us his bikes so we could ride back to our hotel faster and return to rent the car. We took him up on that offer. Hey, one positive experience from this ordeal! When we returned to see Juan to pay for the rental, I handed Juan the credit card and he said, "oh no, cash only!" I told him that I did not have enough cash to rent the car. He suggested that I go to the ATM and get cash. I told him that I had no ATM card to do that and it had to be on a credit card. Begrudgingly, Juan conceded to allow us to charge the remaining balance on our card, but would not return the 400 pesos that we paid so we could charge on the card. Thanks Jaun! So generous you are, liar Juan! That should have been the tipping point where I walked away and forgot about the 400 pesos. However, the boat was leaving soon and we had visions of a convertible awaiting our arrival, we moved forward and completed the transaction with Juan. Upon arrival at Rentadora on Cozumel, there were many customers standing there before us. We were not sure who was working there or who to speak with at first. Eventually, we were greeted about 20 minutes later after the others were taken care of. I presented the paperwork from Juan at Playa del Carmen and the guy starts processing some papers. Then we are told that the car must be returned by 7pm. I responded with, "what?!? We were told 8pm!" The guy responded with, "no, he told you the time of the last boat back to Playa del Carmen, but we close at 7pm." (By the way, the last boat out was at 10pm.) Another lie from Rentadora. I was not happy at this point, but it was already 3:30pm and we wanted to get on our way. I asked about the CDW insurance and he told me it was going to cost $30. I did not even bother reciting what Juan said (chalk up another lie). I just know I wanted full insurance in Mexico, so I paid for it. Just before paying for the insurance, the guy asked if I would like to pay $15 USD so that I did not have to pay for refilling the gas. I've read about the problems and scams refilling gas in Mexico, so I agreed with the idea that it's just $15 to save me from having to deal with another scam. Finally, we are taken to our rental car that was conveniently not in sight during our rental process. I did ask about the location of the car and was told it was just around the corner "in a few minutes." The writing was on the wall, but what could I do at this point after already paying for everything? We finally were taken to the car and all of my worst nightmares have come true. What do I see? We are presented with a car that is falling apart and appeared to be very unsafe for driving. The guy starts walking around the car to mark on his paper the damages. I begin taking photos at about every foot of space I see. He says to me, "no need to take photos, I am writing it here on my paper." So I respond, "this care is terrible and I don't think you can write all of the damages on that paper." I did my best to not incite anything and just accept that I have been ripped off (a total of $105 for a 3 hour rental after insurance). Time to get in the car and do some sight seeing. Without question, this was the single worst car I have ever sat inside of.

    After getting off of the 9am ferry we headed straight to Rentadora ISIS (not to be confused with the group in the middle east, lol), and like another review stated, Margarita was sitting behind a desk (cute lady). We didn't have a reservation, but were able to quickly get 2 scooters. The whole rental paperwork process took all of 10 minutes... no up selling, no hidden fees, just a flat 20 bucks a scooter and we were on our way. We when got back later that afternoon (btw: they close at 6:30pm), Margarita was right there behind the desk in same place we left her. They checked the bikes, gave us the thumbs up and we were on our way. This place is a gem and must for anyone renting a vehicle in Cozumel. Fast, easy, convenient, these folks run a truly honest and upfront business!

    We had a wonderful experience renting from Rentadora Isis while visiting Cozumel for the second time. Our first trip to Cozumel did not go well when we rented a car through Hertz. They were extrememly over priced and had horrible customer service. Rentadora Isis was completely different. We booked our car through their web site prior to our trip. We called to confirm that everything was ready and Margarita assured us that we were good to go. Upon arrival they actually had the car delivered to our vacation home. It was clean and well maintained and as promised by their website. Also the pricing on the website matched exactly what we were charged. No hidden fees or surprises. We had a great trip and loved being able to drive everywhere on the island. When we returned the car and waited for our ride to the airport, Margarita chatted with us, offered us a taste of a fruit native to the island and was overall just a really sweet lady. I highly recommend using Rentadora Isis if you are in need of a scooter or car while visiting Cozumel.

    We rented a little old purple convertible VW beetle for $40 for the day. We had an incredible time driving it around, as well as snapping photos of it! It was a stick shift and I was a bit intimidated to drive it since I'd never driven a stick shift that old before, but it was totally fine. We drove all around the island, including the east side, highly recommended!! The east side was SO beautiful. Doing the paperwork with the business owner was easy and no hassle, as was returning the car. I think that a lot of the cars go pretty early in the day - we arrived around noon and got the last convertible left. If you rent a convertible here just remember you'll probably want plenty of sunscreen and something to tie your hair back with if you have long hair!

    Margarita was such a pleasure to work with. The booking was very easy and casual. 35.00 a day for a VW Beetle convertible. Sure, it wasn't in the best condition but it worked well enough to get us around the island! Actually, it ran pretty darn good. Had no issues. We didn't feel like dealing with the hassle at the gas station so I paid 8.00 for gas from Margarita. Well worth it. I wouldn't hesitate to rent again.

He has a booth outside in the walk way right in front of Miniso! He offers tourist attractions and sold us the rental car through Rentadora Golondrina. We ride the ferry all the way to Cozumel, walk to the rental place, just to find out they don't even have the car we rented, and mind you it's getting late in the evening, and the rental is by day so they said they would have to go get the car we rented, I was not happy because at that point we would only have the car for 2 hours but we were going to do it until they presented us a contract in all SPANISH. About liability, damage, etc to the vehicle. We don't speak nor read Spanish, that's when I opened my phone to look the place up and seen the reviews, to which my surprise nothing but scam experiences, so we kindly declined asked for a refund and left. This has been almost a month ago and they have yet to refund me for goods and services I did not receive. Beware, don't do business with "ET" aka Eric Torres, or this establishment you will be scammed.

When we questioned Hector by phone back in Playa Del Carmen he wasn't of any help and told us we had purchased additional insurance which we had not. The rental agency in Cozumel actually had the nerve to falsify our original contract, crossed out that we had refused additional insurance and forged our name that we had purchased it thus accounting for the additional $25. WE NEVER AGREED TO THIS AND THEY KNOW IT. The BOTTOM LINE... Don't go to this agency and do your homework before renting in Cozumel! They are total scammers!

Told at the airport that the car I booked was unavailable, but that I would be "given an upgrade because I was so nice". When the paperwork came I pulled out my pesos to US conversion app and was told "no no, is okay, is price on the app, this is just showing what we hold in case the car is stolen". Turns out the charged me almost $1400 for the week. Plus they put me into a huge car I was uncomfortable driving, since I'm usually a Toyota Yaris girl. I know I was taken advantage of because I'm a female tourist, but I was hoping because I booked through Delta and a big company that I wouldn't get scammed. After all my worries of getting scammed in Mexico, this was the only place that did it.

They knew the banged up car with no obvious sign of damage to the plastic part was loose from decay. But they tried. Make sure take lot of pictures of the car from all angles. Make sure the check document is well Marked and shake each piece even if not having obvious damage. Also make arrangements for taxi as they asked me to go far away to a non existent taxi stand and not drop me back to airport. I had to walk all the way back to airport. Thank god this experience is over.

As you exit the building turn left and follow the sidewalk and you will see Thrifty (and Dollar Rental) across from the small airport. We have rented several times from this location during various trips to Cozumel and have never had any problems. Tips: It is cheaper to rent two cars than one minivan (if you have two drivers available). You must get the insurance in Mexico. The insurance will cost you more than the rental. Probably why the rental prices are so low. My recommendation is to get the full coverage! Our last rental was a Volkswagon Vento. $340 US for one week. Perfect for four adults and all our luggage. Tight squeeze to get to our rental condo but perfect for everyday outings. Gas - all the gas stations are owned by the same person so no need to shop around. Also, the stations are full-service so sit back and relax. You must tip the attendant.
