Don't book with Alamo. We changed to Easyway , they were very friendly and helpfull
Verified travelerFeb 2024
Don’t book through booking services, you need to book direct, best to speak to the specific office directly. This is pretty much true of all the car rental places.

Book ahead of time. Call to confirm with office, despite email confirmation that this is not necessary.

KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Playa del Carmen

  • Playa del Carmen, Mexico is a beautiful vacation destination for many people, but it is also a remote place which is easiest explored and discovered on your own four wheels. Rent a car for your time in Playa del Carmen to benefit from the flexibility and freedom it can give you. Also bear in mind that the nearby Theme Park and Amusement Park are best reached by car in less than a quarter of an hour and cannot be reached by public transport easily.
  • Even though International Airport Cozumel is closer to Playa del Carmen in miles, the best choice is to fly into Cancun International Airport and rent a car from their on-site car hire center, which features the most car agencies in the vicinity including Alamo, Thrifty, and Avis. The drive to Playa del Carmen will take about 45 minutes and goes along the coastal 307 road.
  • Driving in Mexico can be daunting for some travelers at first, with safety concerns and the Mexican police who are known to be especially strict with tourists from abroad. However, as long as you adhere to the speed limits, check the car is properly insured, and have all the right documents in place, driving in Playa del Carmen should be no problem; travelers will get to explore the beautiful Tulum Ruins and more within their own time frame and with peace of mind.
  • During the morning hours, traffic mostly keeps flowing in Playa del Carmen, but there is some increased traffic during lunch time, around 11am-1pm, when the Cancún/Mexico 307 can get especially clogged up. In the afternoon between 3 to 6pm, traffic also increases regularly during the weekdays so, if possible, try to avoid going out during these times, or circumvent the traffic via the many little side alleys.
  • Book your rental car in Playa del Carmen at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Economy rental cars in Playa del Carmen are around 48% cheaper than other car types, on average

Pick up took almost an hour. They didn't have the van we reserved. Then they held part of our deposit because the drivers seat was barely damp when we returned and claimed they could not rent it out even though it was 5pm and no one was picking up since they closed at 6. Never renting from this company again!

Pros:

Nothing to like. The office wasn't at the address listed. I asked for help finding it and was told by a local man that they moved to a different location about a block away. He led me there and the office was closed even though I was scheduled to pick up my car. I called the number, left a message, and no one ever called me back, ever. After two hours of waiting I went to the next closest car rental place. The man at the counter said MexRentaCar is notorious for taking more reservations than they have cars, closing the office when they run out, and not notifying people they're out of cars.

Cons:

Have a car for me since I had a confirmed reservation, answer your office phone, stay open during your posted hours, notify me of any issues, work your tail off to ensure you have cars for every reservation.

When I arrived, they told me that they did not have the car. i then went to the rental agency next door and they coincidentally has the same car at but at double the price. The cars all came from the same lot and had no Budget or other agency stickers to distinguish one from another. When I returned the car, there was a person waiting for the car who has just experienced the same scam.: rented online from Budget at one price, was told there was no such car on arrival, went next door and paid double for fhe same car. Total scam.

Pros:

The staff were friendly.

Cons:

The car wasn't there. There was no rental, the reservation wasn't honored. And even if they had had a car they would have demanded an extra $22/day in mandatory insurance that was never indicated in the rental agreement and would have priced them out no matter what.

Cons:

The office is hard to find and upon return they made my wife wait outside due to Covid ( even though when we came to pick up the car we were both allowed in the office). Furthermore I waited in the office for half an hour for them to give me my paperwork after asking twice for it they kicked me out. I now have the entire $2500 deposit pending on my credit card. Meanwhile we barely caught our flight back to the states thanks to this terrible experience.

You charged me although I had cancelled the reservation two minutes after booking it. This is a scam. You advertise really low prices, then I want to take the insurance, then you refuse to sell it to me. Then I cancel. Then I receive a charge on my credit card. This is a pure scam.

They will find a way to make you take their insurance! You'll need a letter from your insurer describing in detail what they are covering.

Cons:

The address is not correct, the car does not exist and the price is 60 usd (instead of 41 usd) for a cheaper category of car, plus i have to pay the insurance cause they don’t accept the insurance of the credit card. It’s a fraud.

Renting with Hertz, Dollar, Firefly & Thrifty in Playa Del Carmen , is a huge scam and waist of time . The people in front of me, he tried to force them to pay 500$US extra for 4 days rental ! When it came to my turn, he said my premium car wasn’t available, there were economy cars available, but he wouldn’t give me that, because it was already reserved ! Basically if you pay a promo price online, they will no honor it, even if it’s on the Hertz website . Just a bunch of crooked people .

Cons:

We were quoted $350 we knew the y were going to try to sell us insurance so we got insurance trough our credit card, even with our credit card insurance they wanted to charge us the $350 plus another $850 for insurance for $1200 total!!! When we told them that was ridiculous and started to leave the price suddenly dropped to $750 total which was still twice what we were quoted but we accepted it. Its really sad that they try to take advantage of people on vacation!!

Economy is an intermediary for other companies in Playa del Carmen, they took the reservation knowing they didn't have cars. I got a mysterious message through whatsapp saying that there were no more cars. When I went to another location for the agency who messaged me, America auto rentals, they did in fact have cars but didn't want to give it at the rate I reserved for, because there were clients willing to pay more.

Nothing went correctly, so technically everything could have been better.
