Cheap Van Hire in Playa del Carmen
Top Tips for Hiring a Van in Playa del Carmen
- Driving Playa del Carmen van rentals is an ideal way to see this beach city in Mexico, south of Cancun. If you are visiting this tropical town with friends, you can all travel together, arriving at your destination at the same time and making sure that you don't lose track of anyone. If you are in town with your family, you can all travel around together with plenty of room for everyone's backpacks, purses, toys, recreational equipment, picnic supplies, and beach gear. In a Playa del Carmen van rental, you can explore paradise on your own terms.
- For those considering Playa del Carmen van rentals, remember to mention any add-ons that you want when you make your reservation. Not having a hands-free GPS navigation device or being without a car seat for your son or daughter could certainly throw a wrench into your vacation plans, so you want to do everything you can to make sure that the car rental agency has the add-on available when you arrive to collect your van.
- For Americans to drive Playa del Carmen van rentals, you must have Mexican insurance, specifically Mexican liability insurance. Because insurance through an American auto policy or through a credit card will not work in Mexico, you will have to buy the insurance offered by the car rental agency. Research how much this will be before you leave for vacation so that you will not be faced with any unexpected costs when you arrive to collect your rental van.
- When you are driving your rental van in and around Playa del Carmen, you will most likely be driving on one of the major toll roads, the 305 and the 180. Tolls are paid in pesos, so make sure that when you set off on a road trip, you have plenty of pesos. As you are driving, you will also encounter many, many speed bumps or topes. Topes are in urban areas as well as in more remote areas, seemingly in the middle of nowhere. Keep an eye out for speed bumps and slow down as you approach them so that you do not damage your rental van.

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.Payless

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.2.0 Poor
Nov 2019
Pros:
Nothing, we arrived and the unhelpful man working at the counter told us that there were no cars available and didn’t know when there would be again. I asked him how I was able to make a reservation if there were no cars available for rent and he simply shrugged his shoulders and told us to go across the street to Hertz. He was clearly not interested in assisting us and didn’t seem to care at all that we booked online in advance. Kayak should not route their customers to this company for booking.Cons:

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.Europcar

They told us that you should never use a third party site like Expedia or Kayak so don't waste your time making reservations with this company, they were not even sorry that we got stranded without transportation.Cons:

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.

Pros:
I didn't like anything. I booked a car for 100 usd for 5 days. When I arrived I was told that it is 200 usd, as the initial amount did not include taxes and service fees (100%!!!). Also the insurance was + 300 usd. So, instead of 100 it turned out to be 500. It is insane.2.0 Poor
Dec 2019
Cons:
First the address listed on the Internet was incorrect as they closed that location and have not updated their information. Second they are affiliated with thrifty and firefly so it is all the same company at the location. Third the Internet reservation charge was to be $22 per day. When I got there they were trying to charge $32 per day saying It was the exchange rate which is bullshit because the exchange rate is automatic on your credit card which is about $19 pesos per one US dollar. Four they wanted to charge liability insurance which I did not need as Visa and American Express credit cards cover all collision of rental vehicles. Also if you have a basic car insurance policy in United States it will cover liability. If you take the collision insurance which is about $15-$20 per day then your credit card automatically cancels their insurance. So altogether the rental would’ve been $52 per day. The Representative is very obnoxious and professional. I felt like they were trying to rough arm me to purchase the extra insurance. He said the only way they would not as if they charge my credit card $200,000 pesos about $10,000 USD as a credit card hold until the car returned safely. Dollar thrifty and firefly is a complete scam of business. I’ve dealt with other companies here that are professional and much better and do not haggle.2 locations in Playa del Carmen
