The staff did not have a car for me and then all of the sudden they found a car that was below what i paid for and smelled pretty bad. I was quoted 30$ for 9 days which seemed really low but then that was the cost was the coat for only 1 day. I went to drop off the can at the exact time i had planned and there was no one at the office. I called they number on the paperwork and the person who answered did not speak any english and told me in spanish to meet him at the aitport where they dont have an office or desk. He was 15 minites late and luckily my flight was delayed so everything worked out. DONT USE GREEN MOTION IN ZIHUATANEJO8.0 Very good
Jul 2021
Pros:
The staff was very friendly and flexible on pickup and drop off times.Cons:
We chose this group because of listed price. What was buried in the fine print was a requirement to purchase liability insurance that costed more than the rental itself. It was misleading to show the base price only—we would have gone with a different group had we known. If this is standard, then the listing should show that additional insurance fees may apply, and point the consumer directly to the added costs. It was misleading to be so obscure and hidden.One location in Ixtapa

Pros:
Friendly, didn't try to gouge me on priceCons:
Maybe offer all the insurance options rather than start with the most expensive. either way he wasn't pushy2.0 Poor
Apr 2017
Cons:
The rate is very low but you have to insure your car trough them! In order not to take their insurance, which cost 10X the rent of the car, is to bring a letter signed by Credit Card company taking care of the insurance (not the Credt Card contract - a specific letter) & THEN they will charge the total price of the car until is return. It's very sad that they promote this car company - KAYAK please stop promoting them!3.2 Poor

They Clip you for the insurance and that makes renting three times more costly then the price per day which is quoted.1.9 Poor

Jan 2020
Pros:
Car was newer and in ok shape.Cons:
Please be aware that taxes are an extra 35% on top of the agreed to price. Plus the very expensive insurance they make you buy. You might as well double the rate on the rental.8.4 Very good
Apr 2017
Cons:
They don't tell you the insurance cost 5 times the rental fee. In other words, I was quoted an online rental fee of around $106. Then I was told at point of purchase, the counter that the insurance on top of that would be an additional $400.One location in Ixtapa
