Europcar - Cancun International Airport Information, Car Rental Instructions & Policies

First they lied about the rate, and forced me to buy the insurance. Then they didn’t have the car and we had to wait for almost 3 hours to get a car! Kept lying and saying that in 5 Mins it will be ready.

Europcar was very misleading about needing to have insurance after my booking online indicated that I just needed to show proof of insurance. I will not book again through either of these companies.

Very bad experience overall. The car rate was $20 a day. They wanted to charge me $110 a day for insurance. I have to get a car somewhere else. Terrible company.

Eerie car don’t respect the conditions I have tu pay more Mony for insurance and the rent was the more expensive rent I paid in hole my life, very very bad!!! Experience

Terrible experience trying to push the Extra protection

Initially wanted to charge a "safety deposit" of 12,000 USD on our American Express Platinum card. No kidding. Then want to charge us $140 extra for LIA coverage. Lists displayed publicly were showing a different price (lol). Agent told us listings were outdated just to have us pay more. We found the listings were perfectly valid, so he made up another excuse (lol). After showing detailed coverage included with the card and losing almost one hour, agent "mysteriously" discovered an insurance package for half the price (he entered manually a 60% discount... which means he knew exactly what he was doing). Borderline scammy. Drop off went super well with a nice lady but pickup left a bitter taste.

Mandatory third party insurance

Voiture correcte, gros problèmes informatiques à notre arrivée, mauvaise gestion des clients. Pas une bouteille d'eau. On a perdu beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup beaucoup de temps alors que nous étions très fatigués de notre vol.

The price don't was the same in the rental was more high than expected

We experienced very good service and the car was in excellent condition. However, we were surprised to learn that since we didn't purchase insurance in Mexico (our US insurance covered international) we had to put a deposit of $8,000 down on our credit card in case we didn't return the car. Luckily we had a high enough credit limit to do this and they never actually charged our card.

The car they wanted to give me (Aveo) was smaller that the one I rented. Had to pay more for a bigger more (Kia Forte). They didn't recognize the insurance I bought from easyrentacar (AXA) ; tried to call the phone number AXA gives for this kind of situation but didn't get any answer ; so I had to pay 1,100$ US for their own one (third party liability). They tried to screw me at the drop off pretending damages to the car that were already there and when I argued strongly they backed off (the list of the pre-existing damages to the car they gave me at the pick up was very long and included the damage they pretended I was responsible for !). But then they said I had to pay for another damage, this time to the first car I brought back the day after the pick up because the passenger door lock wouldn't let the key in so it was impossible to lock the car. They tried to make me pay 800 US$ plus taxes for this even though they didn't say anything about that when I brought the car back six weeks before. I was in a hurry, because this process took time and we were afraid of missing our plane. So I said ok I'll pay but give me a copy of the repairs that were done for my insurance. But then they admit that they had not repair the lock of the car, six weeks later ! I gave them shit (politely) and they again backed off. Frankly, It was a clear extorsion attenmpt. I know Mexico well and know that there is corruption everywhere. But I thought that with a renowned compay like Europcar I would be safe from that kind of tactics. I was wrong.

Alles sehr ok

It was fine

The pickup process was a bit slow, it took an hour

The staff aggressively recommended a policy costing over $50 per day. Very unpleasant!

Waited for a full two hours

Excellent service

The airport store staff were relatively easy to communicate with, and the store was clearly marked. The waiting time was appropriate. The ride to the pickup point was quite tight in schedule, but the waiting and paperwork at the pickup point were not satisfactory.

I chose an international chain with a counter right outside the airport. The staff guided us to a shuttle that took us directly to the nearby rental office. We queued up using a computer system. Although I booked a Toyota, they gave me a Dodge. They accepted domestic credit cards. It was a bit crowded so the wait was long, but everything went smoothly in the end.

Not flexible and friendly Don’t give you the car booked and tried to get you an upgrade at astronomical prices

When we picked up the car, we encountered a staff member who tried to push insurance on us. Fortunately, we had done our research and found another staff member to assist us.

It was raining when picking up the car, and customers got drenched while staff showed no concern.

Everyone, make sure to watch them closely when they process the payment and check if it's a deposit or if they're secretly adding insurance. Overall, very poor service. I won't rent from Europcar again. The store forces you to buy a full tank of fuel, or you’ll get a car with no fuel. Their attitude is like they don't care whether you rent from them or not.

The service was good, and the car was relatively new. Make sure to request Japanese cars for better fuel efficiency.

Unexpectedly good. The pickup and drop-off processes were very professional. Unfortunately, I didn't get the model I originally reserved and received a Chevrolet Tracker that made rattling noises when starting. Luckily, the car didn't have any issues during the trip.

Overall service was good, except the car wasn't the model I reserved and the vehicle's condition was average.

Aside from the staff's persistence in promoting insurance, everything else was great. I had already purchased the highest level of insurance on the platform, but the staff kept recommending additional coverage, which was a bit annoying. In the end, I had to pay a deposit of over 50,000 pesos. Additionally, the car's fuel tank wasn't full when I picked it up, and I only noticed it after getting on the highway, which almost left me stranded due to low fuel. Fortunately, the issue was noted in the rental agreement, so technically there wasn't a problem. However, for those who aren't attentive or don't read the contract thoroughly, it could turn into a hidden pitfall. This can be especially troublesome for people who are not fluent in English.

The car rental company in Cancun didn't overly push selling insurance, but they required a $6000 deposit. Even though my credit card limit was sufficient, the authorization was repeatedly declined. I wanted to cancel the reservation and negotiate with another company on the spot, but as soon as I stepped outside, they called me back and the deposit suddenly dropped to $800!
