Top Tips for Renting a Van in Puerto Vallarta

  • When visiting the city, there are many advantages of opting for van rentals in Puerto Vallarta. You can visit the city's historical places hustle-free with your rental. Driving to Malecon from the city center will take approximately 30 minutes.  You can also drive to Los Muertos Beach and Parroquia de Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe which is 50 miles away from the city. This can only be made possible by choosing Puerto Vallarta van rentals for a faster drive since the van is faster compared to the bus.
  • Visitors flying in through Puerto Vallarta International Airport to the city center will enjoy driving to their final destination from the airport. Multiple Puerto Vallarta van rentals have counters at the airport where you can get your van. The counters are located at terminal 1, next to the luggage claim area. Other rentals like Enterprise, Alamo, Thrifty and Hertz, among others, are also available at the airport. Some of these companies do not have desks at the airport premises; hence they offer shuttle services, which can be at a fee depending on the company. Ensure you inquire in advance.
  • Driving in Puerto Vallarta is very interesting. However, you need to be careful when driving on those roads, and there are cyclists everywhere, so keep your eyes open not to hit them, especially when driving at night. You should also be aware of pedestrians and stop whenever they want to cross the crossway. Always use the toll roads when driving, and download an offline map for driving in the area. Remember, the speed limit is always in kilometres per hour.
  • The town's rush hours are not an enjoyable time to plan a trip.  The morning rush hour starts from 7 am to 9 am, and the evening rush hour starts from 6 pm to 7 pm these are the times when commuters, services, buses, taxis, vans and cars are all out since everyone is out going to work and school.  The roads most affected are the roads leading to the city center and the ones leading to universities. Driving in this city during holidays is also a bad idea, especially because the beach areas are always crowded; hence, you should avoid it.
  • 25% of our users found a van rental in Puerto Vallarta for C$ 69 or less
  • Book your van rental in Puerto Vallarta at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • February is typically the cheapest month to rent a van in Puerto Vallarta, with prices around C$ 49 per day. The most expensive month is December, with average prices of C$ 109 per day.

It was nowhere near the same price advertised. They wanted $42/day not $7/day. And a $2500 deposit?? I walked away and ate the $70 deposit to reserve it. Totally felt ripped off. Took an uber instead.

Kayak tells you the required insurance is included in the rental cost. I get there, and they insist their minimum requirement is more and force me to purchase additional liability coverage. It was total BS! IF you want to risk going with this place, buy the full coverage with the reservation, otherwise they strongarm you there and its even more expensive.

Pros:

Once we got the vehicle we wanted it served it’s purpose

Cons:

We were completely scammed from the minute that we walked into the Hertz office in Mexico. They took advantage of us and it was very sad. Even though our taxes and fees were including the rental price they forced additional taxes and fees which we knew was incorrect. They forced us to get insurance when we wanted to waive it and we had already confirmed that we had insurance with both our auto company and through our credit card before hand. We were also forced to pay for the full tank of gasoline when we have only usedLess than half. The entire experience was very unfortunate and wrong. They also wouldn’t give us the keys to our vehicle until we sat through a seminar on excursions and “” discounts because we got a car rental. We should not have been forced to do that.

The car was not in the best condition, engine light on and multiple areas with damage. No handles on the boot and filling cap release. Took almost an hour to get the car once I got to the rental shop. Was charged additional insurance even though I have worldwide cover and then an extortionate warranty of 1333 dollars which because I was using a debit card I had to pay an additional non refindable 66 dollars. 2 bars of fuel on the gauge. A rental that started at 57dollars ended up costing over 200. The hidden fees are a joke and I will not be in a hurry to rent a car from this company ever again

i was required to pay $315.00 Mexican Pesos per day for mandatory insurance when in fact my credit card provides full accidental coverage. When i insisted my credit card provided full insurance covereage, they still refused to rent the car without this so called "mandatory" insurance. this is a total rip off. I will not rent from Alamo in Mexico again unless you reverse this ridiculous robbery.

Pros:

Terrible staff. Location is NOT in airport, it’s miles away. Made us wait for 20 minutes for pick up. Once there they did not let me deny insurances although I am insured by Amex. The forced insurances were more expensive than the car rental itself. I tried talking to the manager but he was equal or worst than the employees. When we checked the car for damages I tried to do a video but the employee would not acknowledge the date, name or name of the company. Left my Amex cc open for a couple thousand dollars only to fin out one day later that “someone” tried to use my card for internet purchases upwards of $3,000 usd. TERRIBLE COMPANY

Prices were quoted in CAD and were asked in USD at a way worse rate than what I anticipated, and with no internet on the spot to verify and show my reservation I had no choice but to accept and go with whatever they were saying. The car was in rough shape and not particularly clean, with the radio inoperative and bits ands broken inside, and at drop off they charged me 190$ for a cleaning fee because there were some dog hair on the floor in the back. Overall when I should have paid 425$ Cad I ended un paying over 1100$ cad. I should have stuck with the competitor’s rental, this was way overpriced and will definitely not recommend to anyone.

I reserved a 7 passenger as we are a family of 6.. when I got there they had record of my reservation but no available 7 passenger vehicle.. they wanted me to take a 5 passenger! So I went to Eurocar next door, they price matched and had me in a 7 passenger in 10 mins. I will not use Hertz again

The Price tha Kayak says and the price they give on the spot, it is not the same. How come can I get an 181$ US rate for a week here and on the spot the agent tells me it's 560$ US with insurance. I think I am supposed to be aware of the full price in advance, before getting there on the spot the day of. Where are the hidden fees? Or is the agent trying to rip us out? Something it is not right here, renting a car it is not supposed to be an awful experience, and every time it causes me anxiety cause it is never the right price you negotiated. Never coming back!

By far the worst rental car experience of my life. We were charged much more the the rate advertised on Hotwire and the “insurance” charge made my total 3x more than what I found online. $360 USD for a 2 day rental, MORE than I paid for an entire week rental with a different agency in the area the week before. On top of that, the agents tried to charge us an extra $1000 pesos to clean out a little dog hair that was in the car for “extra work” they would need to do. The manager tried to negotiate with us when we argued, and lowered it to $500 pesos, as if it was some kind of deal that we had to negotiate. There was nothing about dog hair in the contract, and when we pointed that out, the agent pointed to a different section about smoking in the car, claiming that it also applied to dog hair. Anyway, we didn’t want to pay this absurd fee so We took the car and cleaned it with OUR HANDS and it took 10 minutes. We read terrible reviews online but decided to risk it since it was only a 2 day rental. It was way overpriced, a horrible experience, and honestly the whole company seems like a giant scam. Knowing the reviews, we were cautious on everything: we brought the far back a day early, full tank of gas, got the 100% insurance coverage, and they still tried to rip off a client like us. Hertz should be ashamed to be associated with this company, and they should also be investigated for fraud, based on our experience and others I’ve read. I will never be renting from Hertz again and I will be sharing this review with everyone I know.

Cons:

The rental car company seems to fleece customers by adding optional insurance as mandatory and then taking and holding a huge deposit of thousands of dollars inspite of it with very vague terms . They will not rent at all unless you agree for all the optional things and the deposit as mandatory. You company has to be clear with it with the clients/ customers about this

Pros:

Nothing. Staff lied and was dishonest as well as punks when I checked out. They lied to me when I extended our stay and the price was nearly double when dropping off the car. Terrible and sleazy. Not a good representation of Kayak, Hertz or Mexico. Stealing is a crime but I had a flight to catch and they use it against you. Losers. I will be reporting this all to my credit card company but the criminals at Hertz show you fine print stating you agreed. People who take advantage of others should be fired.

This was a Hertz/Dollar combo place so keep that in mind but that is how it goes at the PVR airport. I was coerced very strongly to buy additional insurance even though I already had adequate coverage for what is required. The rental price shown at the counter was higher than booking by $30 or so and attempts to demonstrate were summarily ignored.

I didn't even end up renting the car. When I got to the location, they told me I needed mandatory insurance, even if my credit card offered it as a benefit. They gave me 3 "plans" that offered less coverage based on price: $130/day, $100/day, and $60/day. I rented this car for ~$20 day, and now they want to charge me AT LEAST $60/day for insurance? My sister and I walked out of the location and we walked into a Hertz to rent from them. I will NEVER rent a car from KAYAK or Rentalcars.com again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Serious credibility issues for both of your firms.

I could not get my rental because they were saying that I needed to get an other insurances with them. Their reason was that it was the popular season, so my insurance with my credit card was not doing the job. Even if it was clearly written that it was alright and that if I took an insurance with another company, it would cancel the one that I took. Also, the insurance that they asked cost 10k$… So, we had to make phone calls for about 3 hours to try to make them understand, and we finished having a refound. I do not recommend taking a reservation with American car rental in Mexico, it was a real trouble.

They asked for 300 usd extra on top of the price i payed online. They wouldn’t let me leave the car lot with the car without paying. The ad said there might be extra cost if drop off was a different location. But this extra cost was for nothing. I contacted priceline to get help but they said all they could do was cancel the rental which would have left me and my family stranded without a car. I am asking you to pay the difference as you are responsible for not showing the true price on your system.
