    Rentadora Golondrina - Copy of our receipt that clearly says only gas required. He also told us no cc but the bottom says only cc.

    I give these clowns two stars for the bait and switch they were able to pull on us…read more It's sketchy as hell having to meet up with some dude standing in front of Palmeros restaurant lol and then they try and scam another $10 USD for some ridiculous "tax". The best though, was the jeep we were issued - it was a mess with no functioning seat belts and it couldn't exceed 60km/h without going into a "death wobble" !!! I will throttle Emilio when i find him (he's outside the bus station probably scamming more tourists as I write this)

    Was scammed by this car rental place. Rented a car from "ET" aka Eric Torres who is apparently…read moreaffiliated with this rental car place, he sits at the 5ta avenida & embarcadero a Cozumel Playa del Carmen Centro 77713 Playa del Carmen, QROO Mexico in the Paseo Del Carmen Shopping Mall across from Miniso store. 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.

    Rentadora Golondrina - This is what Carlos called a 'buggy'. We saw plenty of other vehicles that would have been considered a buggy but this was a car w/no top.

    These guys aren't very well organized at the New Orleans Airport. The Thrifty counter wasn't being…read moremanned. No sign. I had to ask to find out that the National counter would be handling Thrifty customers. THAT was a long line, mostly because they were understaffed. I had to wait in 2 lines to get my car. They leave the keys in the vehicle. I was sent to spot number 14 and as I got there the vehicle in it was being driven away. Back in line I went to wait for them to assign me another vehicle. Staff were helpful and friendly, but the manager needs to tighten up this operation to prevent customer aggravation.

    Rented from Thrifty Car Rental at Cozumel Airport in January 2019. We booked online…read more Thrifty is a short walk outside the airport. 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.
