Loreto car hire experiences: the best tips from KAYAK users

Insights shared by verified travellers who hired a car in Loreto 
CynthiaAug 2024
Automatic 5 doors You'll need a very good AC. Bluetooth TOYOTA the Yaris is very gas efficient. I was amazed.
Verified travelerJun 2024
Make your booking but ask when they will be there for dropoff at Loreto airport, they won't charge you if it's later but no fun hanging around if no one can receive the car. Or check flight arrivals because that's when they show up. Insurance is NOT required as the basic insurance required by the Mexican government (rdw) is included in your rental. I opted for total coverage in case of damage to the windscreen/tires from the rough roads.
ChrisApr 2024
ABout the easiest place to rent I have ever done. Rent at the airport and not in town if you want the car for the full trip.

I ended up renting from Hertz.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Loreto

Also, encountering jaywalkers on the city streets is common, since pedestrians often ignore crossings. Pay attention to avoid hitting them.
  • Significant cities in Baja California Sur, Mexico, experience dense traffic during rush hours and Loreto is no exception. The city experiences dense traffic during rush hours because there is only one highway accessing the city centre. It is typically occasioned by motorbikes and vehicles jockeying for position.

I always expect the actual costs of renting a car to be more, regardless it would be great to have up front pricing. It saves the customer from questioning if they paid too much.

They insisted on Mexican insurance on car. I should not have to have it since credit card guarantees it anywhere in world. Kayak should post this so others know.

Easy process, good car. 2 items - there was some upfront expenses (deposit) that was not clearly covered in the websight when I booked. The second issue was the car was in need of oil service and had warning lights on when I picked it up. This was not big deal, I checked oil level and the car was actually fine.

Insurance costs should be presented honestly, up-front at time of on-line rental booking. Kayak confirmed price of $10/day for the rental car and mentioned no additional fees for taxes or insurance. Once we arrived to the rental car counter we were told the insurance costs were an added $50/day (Five times the cost of the rental agreement price). Bait and switch! Kayak must do their homework on this false advertising.

I'm not sure this place or this company exists. I called several numbers in an effort to confirm our reservation: all the numbers provided by Kayak, all the numbers on the Firefly website, and the resort where this location allegedly was located. They were either wrong numbers, didn't go through, or no one had heard of the place. I ended up canceling 2 days before pick up.
