KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Tampa

  • Tampa is known for its top-rated attractions, making locals and foreigners visit the city. These include Busch Gardens, Florida Aquarium, Museum of Science and Industry, J.C. Newman Cigar Co. Museum & Factory, and Sparkman Wharf, among many others. If you are part of the people planning to tour most, if not all, the attractions, then Tampa car rentals are the way to go. A rental car will ensure you get from one attraction site to another within the shortest time compared to using a public bus which often operates by a schedule. In addition, you’ll have the convenience of touring any site you want at any time.
  • When driving Tampa car rentals, consider following the existing traffic laws that are in place. First, when you approach a four-way stop, you must stop and only go through the intersection using the order you arrived at it. Also, you may take a left turn on a one-way street into another one-way street as long as traffic moves on the left. Finally, you should flash or honk to notify another driver if you are passing them.
  • Tampa is known for having many outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy bike rides and even skating. Note that in Tampa, cyclists are legally permitted to share the road with vehicles. Cyclists riding bikes on the road have equal rights as drivers in cars. Therefore, you need to be respectful as well as careful as you approach cyclists when driving cheap Tampa car rentals. Consider honking to notify a cyclist as you pass them and give way when you approach a junction, and a cyclist has the right of way. This will keep you away from trouble with the law.
  • For travelers planning on renting a car during their time in Tampa, it is as simple as hopping onto the SkyConnect train after your flight to Tampa International Airport lands. The SkyConnect train can be found in the main terminal building and connects the airport to the Rental Car Center and the Economy Parking Lot.
  • Travelers new to Florida should be extra careful when driving in the rain, especially during the later summer months. Storms can appear out of nowhere and can quickly flood the streets with water, making them dangerous for inexperienced drivers. The flooding will pass quickly, so just be sure to keep an eye on the weather.
  • Rush hour in Tampa lasts from 7:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. and picks back up again from 3:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. During rush hour, Hillsborough Ave and many of the I-275 exits can become very backed up so it pays to time your trip accordingly. Much of the historic downtown is made up of smaller streets that can grind to a halt during rush hour as well.
  • One of the major advantages to renting a car in Tampa is the easy access to all of its wonderful nearby beaches and state parks. For instance, Clearwater Beach, Fort De Soto Park, and Caladesi Island State Park are all readily accessed by car, but are extremely laborious to reach via public transportation. Chances are, you will want to take advantage of the wonderful shopping opportunities in the greater Tampa area and a car is necessary for that as well.
  • 25% of our users found rental cars in Tampa for $34 or less
  • Book your rental car in Tampa at least 3 days before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Off-airport rental car locations in Tampa are around 13% more expensive than airport locations on average
  • Standard rental cars in Tampa are around 15% cheaper than other car types, on average

Insights shared by verified travelers who rented a car in Tampa 
Verified travelerAug 2024
Rent a car at one of the companies directly at the on terminal location where you just need to take the train- not an additional shuttle that may take 5-30 minutes to arrive.
FrancineJul 2024
I would definitely tell them to buy the toll package because there were tolls on every road we went on.
Verified travelerJun 2024
Budget was easy and I would use them again
Verified travelerAug 2024
Though we were happy renting the Toyota Camry we rented, we saw a JEEP Cherokee parked next to us and we tried calling the office for an upgrade but, we weren't able to speak to a representative about it.
Verified travelerAug 2024
Roads are pretty easy to drive in Tampa. If renting a Tesla know that the adapters are not included.
Verified travelerJul 2024
Read fine print and go with a bigger known company
Verified travelerApr 2024
There are plenty of rental car companies at the airport and they are all very competitive. Use them, no need to go off site and deal with sub-standard companies.
lyndaMar 2024
Always good to go with a convertible in Florida! Shop around though, there are so many of them you can find a deal!
TimMay 2024
Bring your ezpass so you can avoid the plate pass rental. Lots of toll roads here.
Verified travelerMar 2024
Smooth handoff and experience. Staff was very nice and informative.
Verified travelerMay 2024
Enterprise was by far our best rental yet!
ElizabethMay 2024
There are shuttles to take you between terminals but it’s a bit of zig zagging if you check bags. I was traveling solo with kids and had to shuttle to get my bags, then shuttle again to get the car. That’s not an Alamo issue but more of an airport heads up
Verified travelerMay 2024
There are gas stations located close to the airport if you want to fuel up the vehicle on your own. There are a number of toll roads in the area so you may want to consider getting the additional toll coverage.
CraigMar 2024
Check your auto insurance coverage before the trip as it may or may not cover a rental. Many times you can avoid additional fees if you have a copy of your coverage.
Verified travelerMar 2024
Inquiry about a navigation system ahead of time if that is a convenience that you may find useful.
SeanMay 2024
Use the major companies. Stay away from the ones you never heard of. Read reviews on Google.
Verified travelerApr 2024
We rented a van and everything went very well. Traffic is busy, drive safe.
Verified travelerApr 2024
Only rent cars through the big companies that have a presence on airport property. It may cost more but at least you can expect to have a reasonable transaction in an reasonable amount of time. If you still want to go with one of the off-site rental companies just look at their reviews on google maps first. There you will see several negative experiences similar to my own.
DavidFeb 2024
Get the Sunpass with your rental to avoid high toll fees.
DavidDec 2023
The car rental center is a tram ride away. We had 1 person pick up the car while the other collected the luggage. After picking up the car, we then drove back to the terminal to get the other person and the luggage. All car rentals are at the car rental center
Verified travelerFeb 2024
Get the insurance the rental company offers unless you have ironclad proof your company will meet their demands. It's easier.
Verified travelerDec 2023
Just use the car rental services at the airport.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Get the Florida Sun Pass if you aren't sure of the tolls on the Florida highways. I drove over the Sunshine Skyway Bridge to Bradenton Florida during my stay.
JohnSep 2023
The airport built a new dedicated area expressly for all the major car rental companies to be in one area which is quite nice
Verified travelerOct 2023
It's easy to drive in Tampa. Rent from a reputable company. Nextcar had a clean car and no line.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Use a name brand company with decent reviews, it's worth the piece of mind.
JoeOct 2023
City can be navigated without using toll roads
Verified travelerNov 2023
Use Alamo and book in advance
JenniferSep 2023
Be prepared for a wait to exit the parking garage. I received a QR code via text to exit more quickly.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Everything was fine, no issues and nice highways. Very busy with construction as in any other major city.
Verified travelerNov 2023
Try to avoid tolls - all rental companies have a bit of a surcharge when you go through them.
PaulOct 2023
Find a car rental company that charges what is promised online.
LeonOct 2023
Use GPS navigation to avoid missing important turns and routes.
charlieNov 2023
Secure the specific vehicle of your need to avoid surprises
Verified travelerOct 2023
Keep your eyes wide open. Lots of traffic
Verified travelerOct 2023
Don’t always go for the well known brands
KiranOct 2023
Please rent from national agencies such as Hertz Avis Budget Enterprise etc. Local renters impose mileage restrictions and force to buy expensive insurance coverage from them and impose several other charges if you don’t ask them to explain. Lots of rip-off agents. Be very careful.
LucindaJun 2023
Rent from Avis. It might cost more but they will be there when your flight gets in. They are the only car rental that is staffed after midnight. Europcar/Fox might be cheap but they are horrible if you have any delay, even if uou call to tell them.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Good area for driving. Set my GPS for avoiding tolls and had no trouble getting around. Expected slowdowns near Clearwater beach we're not too terrible
JessicaJul 2023
Do it at the airport. Expensive but better service and communication.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Happy with the experience 😊
ShelaineJun 2023
I would definitely recommend Nextcar.
MatthewJul 2023
Use the elevators in the car rental center. The escalators are slow, not great for bags (signs do say it’s prohibited), and there is a lot of moving up and down from the the sky train, to checkin, to the garage for pickup.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Double check with the budget agent when checking in regarding the pricing that they have
TiagoAug 2023
location is not the problem. it won't know until you see the car
Verified travelerJul 2023
Check the car before getting out. , report it any little scratches,.
Verified travelerJun 2023
Driving in Tampa was clear to follow the directions.
GustavoJun 2023
Easy driving but GPS wasn't always accurate.
Verified travelerJul 2023
Just use one of the big companies.
DannyJul 2023
Stick with the known brands
Verified travelerMay 2023
Make sure you plan extra time. Always lock the vehicle and don't leave any valuables in plain site in the vehicle.
Verified travelerMay 2023
I would recommend clarifying the Sunpass usage through license plate.
Verified travelerMay 2023
Don't go with a no-name provider like Green Motion. If they aren't one of the top 10, you think you will save money in the end, but you won't. Stay away from Thrifty/Dollar at TPA unless you are in their preferred program that lets you skip the counter. Good companies, but the lines are inexcusably long and slow moving. And lastly, inspect the vehicle and do not be afraid to ask for a different one if you are dissatisfied with the condition (smell, cleanliness, scratches, etc.).

The people at the first enterprise we went to were too busy, unhelpful and gave away our rental car. Took us three hours to find a big enough rental. We reserved the rental June 20th for a family vacation. Really at a loss they gave away our vehicle. We finally found one at another location after going to four locations with no large vehicles. We then paid 300$ more for not even the same car we originally rented. Really disappointed.

I made a reservation on kayak for a car that enterprise did not have. This caused a one hour and 45 minute delay waiting at a terminal in the rain and my having to call around town to locate a vehicle. This is mostly a problem with kayak, who should not Make reservations for cars that are not available.

I thought our rental deal was too good to be true. We booked through Kayak, But we were pleasantly surprised with the Tampa airport location. The staff were friendly and didn’t push any extras on us. The rental car was clean (Nissian Versa) the staff friendly & courteous. I would 100 % recommend them if you need a rental car in the Tampa area. Just a side note. I also look the car over before taking it off the lot, I also video the entire car inside and out for damage. And take pictures, it does take a few extra minutes but gives me piece of mind.

I didn't appreciate the "nickle and diming"; the final price was almost 3 times what was advertised with all the added fees and taxes etc. They should be far more transparent with the final cost to the customer. Staff are upselling to the benefit of the business and not necessarily that of the customer. I was offered a transponder but after closer inspection it would have been cheaper for me to pay for the tolls. This was very disappointing; I recommend better training and customer sensitivity workshops.

The pickup experience was horrendous, took almost 2.5 hours. The initial check-in line was extremely long. Once check-in was completed and instructed to go to lower floor to pickup car, you had to find an employee to put your name on a waitlist. The system was chaotic and unorganized. The entire process took 2.5 hours, I was late to meet friends for lunch and delayed my entire schedule. I was only in town for a night and required me to make alternate arrangements. Lastly, I was billed incorrectly and charged for refueling, even though I returned it at the same level I took the car.

My experience with the TAMPA AIRPORT DOLLAR RENTAL HAS BEEN UTTERLY DISGUSTING. They put me and my mother in a 2018 Nissan Rogue when here we are a few weeks shy of 2024. When you turned the wheel it made a horrible sound, the charging ports didn't work, the trunk didn't open and when you were at a stop light or idling it would shake and sputter. So I decided to drive 45 minutes back to the airport to get something better. Upon doing so they seemed to be annoyed with me. So after feeling that way I didn't want to complain when the car they exchanged with REEKED LIKE CIGARETTES. Me and my mother decided to just go buy some air fresheners and deal with it. We never mentioned the smell and now I 100% regret it. A few days after returning from Vacation I check my credit card and notice they charged me $400 dollars. I call customer service and am told I was charged that for a "cleaning fee for smoking in the vehicle" so I am now in the process of trying to dispute this charge. I have asked several times to see the notes from the previous person that rented the car to see if it was noted about it smelling like smoke and was told they aren't allowed to give me that information. DISGUSTING SCAMMING COMPANY.

Had the choice of picking which vehicle I would like to drive. The Nissan Rogue that I was given had 54,000 plus miles and shook when driven above 60 miles per hour. It had a number of door dings which concerned me before I drove off the lot. The attendant was helpful in reassuring me that none of the blemishes identified would register as damage that I caused when returned.

First the pickup and drop off place was a Hertz rental location and not a Thrifty location. Second this is a location less geared to travelers and more geared to local customers and it is understaffed. Third it is not anywhere near the airport and we could not change the location to the airport which would have Ben more convenient. Finally, we were not offered the opportunity to purchase the fuel program, so had to stop to buy extra gas unnecessarily. All of the above made this rental car experience poor.

I would rent from Fox again but I’d be way more likely to rent from Fox if there was a way to use their car for toll roads on only the days when you’re planning to use it on those roads instead of paying for toll usage for the entire duration of the trip. Having to pay for the entire duration even though I only wanted to use tolls for one day meant that the cost was much higher and the value not really that great.

The rental office was not at the airport. Had to arrange our own transportation to get the car. Even though this was a pre- paid rental, the Hertz office still came up with additional charges. This seems wrong. We were quoted a rate and paid for it. Adding extra fees on arrival is a low life scam.

The line was over an hour and a half long to pick up my car. They know ahead of time how many reservations they have and were ill prepared. The first agent I worked with was rude, condescending, and tried more than once to rush me into entering my credit card and accept things I clearly told him I didn’t want like paying in advance for tolls and gas. I then waited an additional half hour for a manager who checked me out. The manager was fine to work with.

Had a great experience. Checking in at the airport to collect our car was fast and seamless (plenty of cars were available to choose from) and there was no haggling or change in my rate. The drop off process was also seamless. We were unloaded and had a final receipt within minutes. Would definitely rent from them again!

I would have liked more accurate price quoting. Price was listed as $240 for a "special class car." I was offered the lowest level compact they had. On top of that, I was informed the actual price for rental would be THREE TIMES as much as I had already paid. When I inquire about canceling my reservation, the clerk said that would be okay, but they would not refund the $240 I had already paid. Poor customer service, feeling scammed by hidden fees and forced into paying them to avoid losing my money. Will never rent here again, would not recommend this company to anyone.

Horrible - do not book with NextCar. They denied my car insurance because I was not the primary policyholder. I have full coverage insurance, so there was no logistical reason to deny it. The supplemental insurance cost as much as the rental itself. I was never told at the time of booking that I would be forced to use their insurance if I wasn’t the primary policyholder. I was only told so 24 hours out from my booking. I’m actively trying to get a refund for this.

Initially I was given a Nissan Frontier as my rental, not exactly what I was looking for but it’ll get me here and there. Drove from the airport to the hotel, when my wife noticed the airbag light was blinking on and off. Also, when trying to exit the vehicle, the seatbelt release wouldn’t disengage the seatbelt, after several attempts to take the seatbelt off, it released. This was a safety hazard because in the event of an accident, I would be trapped. So we immediately called ACE and returned the truck. Josh was able to get us into a Dodge Charger at no extra cost. Thanks for handling this issue with great customer service and helping us get to our vacation quickly.

I was told no smoking in the vehicle, it would be a $250 fine. No problem, I don’t smoke. When we opened the vehicle’s doors the smell of stale cigarettes hit us immediately, and the upholstery was covered in cigarette burns. It was disgusting. I went up to the kiosk to complain and all they said was they’d make a note of it on my paperwork. I won’t be renting from them again.

Rental indicated that they had 24 hours service - they did not. When flight was rescheduled for next day and I called to tell them, they would not guarantee the car I had paid in advance for, or any car, would be available despite having reserved and paid in advance for a car for 4 days. Also said I that if i did get there the next day more than 12 hours past the original time the rental would not be valid because it would have already been canceled in their system and I would have to make a new reservation. This is even though i was calling to let them know my rescheduled flight was 24 after the original cancelled flight. They said they could not hold a car even though I had already paid and could not give me a refund for any portion of my money. I WILL NEVER RENT FROM THEM AGAIN and will make it my personal mission to let everyone I know what a terrible experience Europcar/Fox Rental Car was.

I tried 4 different cars because each car had an issue. Two cars reeked of smoke, one had a smashed in back fender, and the last had sand and trash all over the floor board including 11 used water and soda bottles strewn around the interior of the car. The Avis agents were accommodating in switching cars but it was a terrible experience having to walk back and forth to the counter and car each time. It took over an hour to finally get into a car. They also didn’t escalate to a manager until I asked for one when we pulled the car up to show them all of the trash. The manager was very friendly and helpful. He apologized for the trouble. The return was challenging as well. The signage was poorly done. I parked in one of the designated return spots and followed signs up 8 flights of stairs to the rooftop to find that I had been misdirected. I walked back downstairs and ultimately found the return desk on the ground floor. The agent asked me where I parked and told me I had to move the car the rooftop. I told her the signs directed me to park in the designated spots side the garage which were clearly marked as Avis return spots but she insisted I move and that the car was now late. She said the signs were wrong and need to be removed. When I expressed displeasure with the poor signage and waste of time the agent told me I could call customer service. I had to go back upstairs and drive the car all the way to the top of the garage. The process was inefficient and frustrating.

Agent at airport counter was hard to understand and seemed like she could care less. Disagreed with me when i said we had rented a midsize SUV and replied there is no such thing. Had my printed confirmation and she would not even look at it and said "compact is your reservation". We also said no to a prefill but found out later at another Avis we had prefill. WE told her no and when the questions popped up she repeatedly said just press agree it doesn't mean you will be charged. The SUV had 82,000 miles on it and after 3 days we experienced the battery not wanting to start. Very slow to turn over. We called the AVIS is Bradenton and they were very courteous and nice and we took the car in for an exchange, They actually were the ones that said we did have prefill.

Pros:

Once we actually got to a staff member (after waiting in line for over an hour because the Payless, Avis, and Budget counters were all combined), he was very polite and helpful. The car was new and it was very nice. Drop off was an ease.

Cons:

A warning at least would have been nice about the lack of staffing or the possible extended wait times. The fact that I set a pick up time and expected to go to the counter to get my car, but waited in line for over an hour instead was frustrating to say the least. I have appreciated an offered substantial upgrade or refund for the inconvenience.

It wasn’t National’s fault, it was Kayak’s fault. You booked a car at a location that was closed, never sent a confirmation email and then offered no help in rebooking. The supervisor I talked to on the phone was rude and ended up hanging up. Completely disappointed with the way you guys left me stranded. I’ve never been treated like this by a company for something that was their fault. Never using Kayak or any affiliated companies again.

Do not use this company. I have used kayak and priceline often with no issues. After a slightly delayed flight, waiting for the Routes shuttle and waiting in a slow line at Routes I was denied my reserved car because they hold it for ONE hour. That was not in my paperwork anywhere. Other people were angry in line (which is why the line took so long) because they require to see your insurance declaration page, which no one had. There were people trying to call their insurance agents. The people ahead of me walked away without a car. One man was asked to leave because he was angry that he was not aware of the insurance requirement. I was denied a car, had to take the shuttle back to the airport where my daughter and her baby were waiting for me to pick them up in the rental car. VERY poor experience.

Pros:

The staff was not helpful. They offered services but DID NOT tell us it was for an additional charge. We ended up getting charged over $100 that we would have NEVER agreed to had we been told initially there was a cost.

Cons:

Be upfront and honest with your services and let people know what you offer as a convenience comes with a giant price

If you do not arrive within 1-2 hours of your reservation time, they give your car away and don't have backups for you! EVERYONE in that arrived on my shuttle were in the same boat; they didn't have any of our vehicles; they were simply telling everyone that their reservation is cancelled, we'll receive our money back (eventually), and we just need to go elsewhere to find a car last minute, at night. IT WAS A DISASTER! Thank God one of the guys working there took pity on my group since I had my 80 year old parents with me, and managed to find another vehicle for us. It was smaller than what we rented, but at least it was a vehicle. I'm thankful to the employee who bent over backwards to find us a vehicle, but York's policy of re-renting everyone's cars if they are not there within 1-2 hours is CRAZY! Everyone else got screwed. It was an awful experience. Oh, it it took HOURS for all of that to get settled. 0/5 stars.

This company is a scam. They wanted to add on so much money to the rental. The deposit was $500 and they have 30 days they will hold it. I wish i never rented from them.

After waiting in line for over an hour to pick up my rental from York, I was told by the counter staff that I would my personal (full coverage) auto insurance was still not enough coverage to rent a vehicle. It was proposed that I would either need to contact my insurance company to pay an additional ~$150 to tack on a rental car for the month OR pay York a $500 non-refundable security deposit, I should have listened to the line of other disgruntled customers in front of me, I ended up leaving with no rental, having to take a $40 Uber to my destination, and be carless for the week I was in town, I will NEVER use York again.

Absolutely terrible company. If I could give it zero stars, I would. I have asked for a refund and had to go with a different rental upon landing in Florida. They tried to take a $3000 deposit even though we already had external insurance. They advertise that they're in the airport which they are not, and they didn't even offer a shuttle - they told us to Uber. Upon looking at reviews, many people said that they kept and wouldn't return the deposits claiming unreal damages. They also tried to do additional toll charges and other random shady things, that they communicated through text. Also, when they asked for the $3000 deposit, and we tried to escalate it since it was completely unheard of, they didn't say anything and changed the contract back to $500 without telling us (to delete the evidence). Terrible, terrible, terrible company. Pay more and go with a reputable service.

the phone listed on the website did not work so I took uber from Tampa airport to the rental address, the agent stated I need insurance card cannot take credit card insurance, then lured me to buy the 24 USD per day insurance, later did not give any print outs, as if is there is an accident I can look at the email? really? No rental agreement via printed paper, do you think the cops will believe me it is on email? better get the car at the airport as they do not fool customers. very poor service, it is bait and switch, you list one price on the website then charge another in person. Not doing this again, thanks for nothing.

Airport shuttle from airport: Good communication, minimal wait. They called my insurance company to make sure I was covered. I already knew I was, so that was a time waster. Our car 4dr Mercedes was clean however, it was dented in 3-4 places and had a broken headlight cover. Interior smelled like smoke. The car worked and did its job getting around. Passenger window would stick or not work going up it had to be rolled up from the driver side. When I got the car, I told them when I return I will be here around 6:30pm. We can get a shuttle back to the airport correct? I was told yes. Upon returning the car at 6:30pm we were told they were closed (closed but people were still there) and they wouldn’t drive us to the airport. He said his coworker explained they were closed at 6pm and don’t do shuttles after 6pm. Kayak and the rental company promises airport shuttles. We were not given instructions on how to drop the car off if there had been no one there. We were also told our 6:30pm arrival wouldn’t be a problem for a shuttle. The employee took us to the airport in his personal car which was spotless and kind of him. This has soured my experience with both Kayak and the AZ rental company

I was scheduled to pick up my car on Friday, June 30th I got a telephone call from the office on June 28th stating that they did not have any Minivans available. They didn't even offer me a upgrade to accommodate my family. However, they did give me my money back. I was left with having to pay more money to get the vehicle we needed.

Firstly, the staff was polite and professional; nice guys. They were on time in shuttling us to and from the airport (since they were off airport location but only minutes away so not inconvenient at all). Both the shuttle and car rental were clean. The registration process was easy and efficient. I would totally use them again HOWEVER, I don’t recall their website stating that the price I paid was just to reserve the car. When we got there they asked for our insurance and if it didn’t state we had 300k on Property Damage Liability (which I never heard a company having this requirement) we had to purchase theirs, no way around that. Although I had purchased extra rental coverage through a third party site which was pointless because this car rental company didn’t accept. So the car that was originally 30$ for the day ended up being almost 110$ after adding the sun pass and additional insurance. We were on a schedule to get our trip moving along smoothly so I just bit the bullet and used their services but this felt like a bait and switch tactic which is why I have a bad review. Too bad because I liked everything else about it. It would’ve just been easier, convenient and cheaper had I just used a well known rental company right inside the airport.

This was a scam. They were requesting that a customer have libility insurance of >$500 000. The other problem is that they did not have a class of car I paid for, but 2 classes bellow it and they told me that is what I can get for my money. I asked to talk to manager, but they told me they do not have one. I did not use their"services".

When I went to pickup my car, I had to wait ~1 hour to speak with someone at the desk. The agent I spoke to at the desk lied to me and said that I cannot use my personal auto insurance and had to use their plan. I call their corporate number later and the confirmed that agent was incorrect and refunded my money spent on the insurance. The car they had reserved for me was stuck behind several cars on the lot and inaccessible. Because of this they tried to give me another vehicle in the same class. The replacement they picked had visible damage/dent to the multiple panels, doors, and bumper. I started documenting all the damage in detail and taking pictures, the agent started getting visibly annoyed. He ended up providing me with a different car in the end. When I came time to drop off the vehicle, the lot nearly full and there was a line extending into the street just to enter the lot. I'm still waiting to deposit to be returned and I anticipating that I will need to call their corporate office again. This was an extremely poor experience through and through. I will never rent from Mexrentacar ever again, and I will never recommend their services to anyone.

The vehicle was perfectly fine. Everything other than that and the shuttle driver was terrible. Not able to reach the property. Number listed is in Miami. $2500 deposit hold for 3 weeks despite full coverage insurance is unheard of. Facility is inadequate, seats are in disrepair. Agent is unfriendly. I would highly recommend dropping this company from your vendor list. While my experience panned out, two of the three other groups in their office woth us that morning, were not able to rent for whatever reason. Both were very upset.
