KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Mérida
- Enjoy a maximum of flexibility during your trip to Mérida by renting your own car when you arrive and visiting all your preferred attractions conveniently with your own four wheels. Renting a car especially makes sense when considering the fact that public transport in Mérida can have delays or not operate regularly. A car will also allow travelers to get to the seaside in less than 40 minutes.
- Picking up a hire car directly at Mérida International Airport will allow travelers to be in Mérida center in about twenty minutes via the Uman-Mérida and México 261, instead of taking expensive cabs to the city. Companies like Alamo, Enterprise, and Thrifty offer their vehicles at the airport. Simply follow the signs to the car hire desks upon arrival.
- Driving in Mérida is generally a pleasant experience, but as it is with all cities, it can take a little time to get used to the city’s system. Mérida has many one-way lanes which can make maneuvering around a bit more challenging at first. Renting a satnav is definitely a good option that could help. Try to avoid driving during the night in Mérida, as some streets are not well-lit and it is harder to see pedestrian and cyclists.
- In Mérida, speed bumps are in place all over the city and adhering to the speed limit is also very important, as it is one of the main reasons tickets get issued. Especially in the night, speed bumps can be hard to see, so check for signs on the right side of the road and drive accordingly.
- Book your rental car in Mérida at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Economy rental cars in Mérida are around 50% cheaper than other car types, on average

Mar 2018
Pros:
Pick up was fast and efficient. Cars were clean and new and reliable.Cons:
The whole insurance thing in Mexico is challenging and confusing. In this case we took the required 3rd party liability and declined everything else and used our credit card to cover rental car insurance. I always feel very unsure on if I am covered or not. Buying the full insurance package from the rental agency is very expensive.5.2 Fair

Despite having a reserved car at 10:30am, we were still at the counter at 12:20pm. And they didn't have the size we had reserved. It was an incredibly frustrating part of my trip10.0 Wonderful

Pros:
Agent pleasant,, car ready, short ride to depot. Agent was able to reissue the agreement at the same price with full insurance coverage. The original agreement only included mandatory liability insurance although we though we booked with collision damage waiver. Price came out the same.Cons:
This is an independent National Franchisee. We thought we were booking with National. Everything was fine however.10.0 Wonderful

Jan 2018
Cons:
- I booked the car from Car Rentals. The price was good, around US$45 for two days, but made no mention about insurance. But when I picked up the car, I was charged insurance fee for almost double than what I paid for the car rental! How outrageous! - Alamo does not have a kiosk at Merida Airport and I waited for more than half hour to wait for a pickup to their center which was 2km away from the airport terminal. Very inconvenient.Enterprise Rent-A-Car

Nothing. Couldn’t pick up the car since our flight was delayed a few hours and they cancelled the reservation and we were left without a car. I did call and they said that 1 hour after the reservation time passed we’d be subject to availability... and furthermore their website said they close at 11:30 pm and they actually close at 10!!Cons:

Everything went smoothly. Pick up and drop off was efficient and quick.Cons:
Upon car pickup I was hit with insurance. i tried to explain that I had coverage through my credit card and taking their insurance could nullify my existing coverage but they would not rent the car without buying theirs.

We had an appointment for 3 PM. I was early at 2:40 but they couldn't start the process until 3 PM. So OK.

Friendly and helpful staff. Car was reliable and served us well.Cons:
At the terminal doesn't mean at the terminal. It's a few blocks away and it was hard to find returning the car. I asked for an automatic SUV when I reserved but there were not any so I ended up with the car they use to pick up people at the airport. It had manual windows and locks. Plus we struggled to fit all our baby stuff in it. Charged us $30 for a few gallons of gas, which if you consider the exchange rate is really expensive. $80 online quote turned into a $239 charge.

Cons:
I called Hertz three times trying to get cost of insurance for I arrive at the company to rent the car I was not able to get a quote for what the insurance would cost . At the Hertz pick up location I was quoted a price over US$300 for insurance for a two day rental. I then asked about a lower-priced insurance off for and they found a second coat of over $200 for insurance for the two days . Thankfully I have insurance from my credit card so I was able to decline this insurance . After I decline the insurance the person at the counter then wanted to sell me some documents in case I got in an accident for US$50 for a few pages printed material . I felt like this $50 price for a few pages of printed material that the company should’ve provided for free was out and out theft . At this point they inform you that my debit card would not be able to be used for the purchase of the rental . Thank goodness I had additional credit cards and was able to complete the transaction . I do not feel that Hertz should be associated with a company that does this kind of extreme pricing for insurance and does not inform the customer prior to arriving at the location of all of the additional cost .2.0 Poor
Jan 2018
Cons:
Showed up to the airport in Merida with a reservation made 1 month prior. Said there were no cars, that the situation was "complicated." The desk agent even tried to pretend that I had just made the reservation that day. Shady all around, and it screwed up our trip so we had to completely change our itinerary.One location in Mérida

Then I was told instead of the rate of $17 per day was actually going to be $80 per day. This has happened with payless in Guatemala as well. I highly recommend not ever using this company. Bait and switch. So shaddy.2.0 Poor

Jan 2017
Pros:
Nothing. Terrible.Cons:
I had reserved a car from 10am. We turned up at 11.20am to find that they had rented out all their cars and had none left. We then had a mad panic trying to find another car to rent from another rental at the busiest time of year - eventually found one and had to pay twice as much for it. I actually blame Kayak as much because they should have made clear that 10am meant 'pick up the car at 10am on the dot otherwise they may rent out your car'.2.0 Poor
Jan 2017
Pros:
Nothing.Cons:
Travelled for 3 hours by 2 taxis and a bus to get to the branch after making a reservation through Kayak. When we arrived they said they didn't have our reservation - and worse than that, they didn't have any cars available whatsoever. To be fair to the guy behind the desk, he did suggest we try next door, but it was a bit of a dodgy set up and the only car they had was an old banger. He also suggested Unirent, which we ended up walking to and using instead. I would definitely recommend using Unirent in Merida - very professional and helpful, and the car was great.2 locations in Mérida
