DON T RENT A CAR HERE
Please DON T BOOK A RENTAL CAR THROUGH THIS COMPANY We unfortunately had a very bad experience with them with ended up being DANGEROUS for us When getting information before renting the car they told us that the insurance was included After arriving at the company to pick up the car they told us the insurance that was included was basically useless The insurance that we needed to take would cost us more then the actual rental price for the car There was no change to cancel the booking for the car anymore at that point without loosing money so we went ahead with the booking Then a couple of days into our holiday we got a puncture in our tire That can happen of course We stopped next to the road and got ready to change the tire The spare tire was in the back but we couldn t use it This was because they putt an anti theft locking wheel nut on all the wheels So you will need a special tool to be able to change the tire But that extra tool was nowhere to be found It WASN T in the car Meanwhile we are standing next to the road in Mexico without phone reception and with all our belongings in the car Next to the road with the closest village being a 40 minute drive away Quite a DANGEROUS situation A few locals stopped and tried to help us but unfortunately without the special tool no one was able to take the tire with the puncture of After about an hour it was almost getting dark another local stopped and he actually had an air pump with him We managed to put a stick in the hole after pumping it and we drove to the nearest village Needless to say that we didn t have another option at that moment but it was of course not the safest thing In the village they could also not change the tire but they could temporary plug the hole They assured us that we would be able to drive with it to our already booked accommodation of the night We called City Car Rental and tried to explain the situation They actually wanted us to stay in the village and to wait for someone from their company to come over Mind you that by then it was already dark and we were in a small village with all our belongings We also had accommodation booked for the night and got told that with the temporary fix we could make is safely to our next place City Car Rental didn t seem to understand that they put us in a dangerous situation That it was actually their fault that we could not change the tire next to the road They put us the whole time on hold to speak with a manager I guess and at no time their was an apologize made Waiting there would be just dangerous for us and we would have had no accommodation to go to that late at night So waiting a couple of hours for someone from their company was not an option at that point We agreed that the company would send someone over the next morning The next morning we waited for a couple of hours and since we actually wanted to enjoy the day I send them a message They changed the story and told us that we needed to buy a replacement tire We refused since we could not change the tire without that special tool I asked multiple times if they could call me sending messages doesn t really work in a case like that and I tried to call them many times too They didn t pick up or call me After some time again they told us that they would send someone over that day We finally could enjoy our day a bit In the evening we got a message that someone of City Car Rental had arrived He told us it was his day off but he had to drive all the way to us He also told us we had two options Changing the car or he could change the tire for us I guess he had the tool As we didn t want to waste any more of our time on the car issue we choose the change of car There would be no extra cost for that We paid the guy the difference in fuel between the cars in cash and off we went When we dropped off the car we got rude staff no communication and they didn t even no our story And they took 90 US off our deposit THEY FORGOT THE TOOL THEY MADE A MISTAKE DANGEROUS

BEWARE OF THESE THIEVES
BEWARE OF THESE THIEVES On Wednesday I went to their offices to rent a vehicle that I had reserved days in advance from the first moment they made different mistakes First I had paid 20 of the total price to ensure the availability of the vehicle I had reserved full size category a Jetta and at the time of arrival they did not have it but they offered an Elantra and I agreed with that because I knew that they guarantee the category of the vehicle and not the car itself The person at the counter explained to me that if I did not buy the extra insurance and something happened to the car I would cover the total damage since the 10 of the deductible that their insurance offers are only valid when it is total theft or total loss of the car I denied to accept the extra insurances and told them that I would take on that responsibility Then he told me that he needed to put a hold on my Credit Card for 13 000 pesos around 630 USD but I showed him that on my confirmation email said only 400 USD and he just said Oh ok After this moment I gave them my driver s license my identification and my credit card to start the process Minutes later they told me that my credit card was declined and that I should speak to the bank to see what happened but it was not a problem with my card because outside their offices there is an oxxo I went and bought some things with the same card bring them the receipt to show them that the card worked well and that it was their bank payment terminal Also I spoke to the bank to verify if there had been any attempted transaction with my credit card and there were none so they have tricky bank payment terminals After this another worker at the counter supposedly named Eduardo started yelling at me and told me it wasn t his problem and to get out of the office so I said ok I just need my refund For this I had already started to record the situation and the way they treat customers especially Eduardo because the person who was assisting me from the beginning was very polite even though he gave me wrong information I requested an email to ask about my refund and they gave me the following email biikings at citycarrental com WRONG That email doesn t even exist I requested it twice and they gave me that email twice he even take the time to spell letter by letter SHAME ON YOU These people at the counter earn a commission for each extra insurance sale they make it is a shame that they would rather let go of a client than lose their commission Eduardo told me that he was denying me the service because my license was new but in the terms and conditions of City Car Rental they do not establish a period of age of the license to be able to rent the vehicle Yesterday I communicated by email requesting my refund I hope to have an answer today otherwhise I will post the video on all my social channels I hope that whoever reads this will help you to never rent a vehicle with them

Avoid this company at any cost SCAM
Avoid this company at any cost We just got scammed by their worker Check in experience was bad they were not ready for us and we had to wait for few hours late at night tired because they took car to fill up the gas and disappeared When they returned they came backWith two bars of filled gas like are you serious So after all this wait we had to go and fill up again But that s not the worst part of this story When we dropped off the car they took us to the airport and HERE IS THE SCAM YOU HAVE TO WATCH OUT FOR He asked us what airline we said AMERICAN AIRLINES He said it s terminal 4 The whole road he jokes and laughs Asking us questions Then dropped us off and asks for TIP The scam is there is not American Airlines at this terminal it s terminal 3 So now you strangled at the wrong terminal and immediately attacked my cloud of Mexicans trying to hustle you hard They telling you it s a 40 min wait for free shuttle or an hour walk so you have to get a taxi- 20 We found ourselves In line with other gringos who was outhustled and fooled just like us This is beyond disgusting what they do To people after we bring business to the their country to treat us this way I have never been more mad in my life And what s even worse this was by our CITY CAR rental company after we have them business and he asked for TIP knowing he dropped us off at the wrong spot to be ripped off Mexicans it s a whole another bread of lies and manipulation I have never seen this level of disgrace in any country in the world

AVOID THIS SCAM
I paid for a car reservation for my vacation in October 2022 and ended up renting more time than I needed because they told me it was necessary to ensure the pick up and drop off of the car at my hotel The day for pick up and despite the fact that the reservation says that the car would be delivered to my hotel they surprised me that it was a mistake and that I had to go to their offices to pick up the car Although they would take me there the trip to their offices and paperwork would take at least two hours of my vacation which was precisely what I wanted to avoid from the beginning That is ENOUGH REASON TO AVOID HIRING THIS COMPANY However there is more Since they had broken the conditions of the contract I no longer wanted to rent the car and they told me at that time that they were requesting a refund for the reservation Having no news on the subject I wrote on whatsapp I made a request by email to the only email they publish in their website and finally I called by phone At the end they told me that my refund does not correspond that the published telephone number and e-mail are the only ones they have Therefore MY CONCLUSION IS THAT IT IS A SCAM I hope that my experience will serve so that other people are not victims

Horrible service
Horrible service they cars are old and you will end up paying twice your initial quote They will say that the insurance is covered in your initial quote and once you are there they will tell you that if you want full coverage you need to pay more

Fraudulent company
Absolutely terrible the most disgraceful experience we ever had in a holiday As soon as you land in the country pretty much your first perception is the airport and the rental car people if you could call them that These are highly trained fraudsters who will rob you in your face and claim their card machine is not working Disgusted by all this they literally destroyed our holidays

CITY CAR RENTALS and VICTORY LUX SCAM
CITY CAR RENTALS and VICTORY LUX are working together in a car rental scam These fraudsters advertise through a CITY CAR RENTALS website and take a 20 deposit on booking On receipt of the booking confirmation it shows that the rental is operated by VICTORY LUX The pickup point shown in the pictures for CITY CAR RENTAL is closed and chained up Our driver managed to make a call to ELIZABETH who works for CITY CAR RENTAL who directed him to a car yard with no markings along the 307 Highway We went into a small office no name in sight but VICTORY LUX on the Folio where we paid a deposit and the full price of the rental even though we had paid a 20 deposit On attempting to question this we were told No English On being taken out to the car we found that this was not what we ordered We were given a Dodge Caravan 2017 model with many dents and scratches no number plates and only papers taped to the back windscreen two broken tail lights and generally dirty We had ordered a Kia Sportage or similar On questioning this we were again told No English and made to feel quite threatened and decided to take the car and leave and attempt to sort matters out later On reaching our hotel the concierge informed us of a serious oil leak the next day She called VICTORY LUX and ELIZABETH who then were attempting to exchange the vehicle for something else We refused and asked that the vehicle be collected and our rental charge and deposit be refunded The vehicle was duly collected from the hotel on 31st July and ELIZABETH then promised to look into the refund To date we have had no further communication or correspondence from CITY CAR RENTALS or ELIZABETH or VICTORY LUX And of course no refunds A total scam

I ve used this company for 3 years in a
I ve used this company for 3 years in a row in Cancun The reviews I m reading here don t sound remotely close to my experience I have to say the long winded hyper dramatizations make me suspicious of those posters This company treated us great the cars were great and the service was great The worst was that we had to be transported to town by them and we waited for longer that I would have liked But they are less expensive They do sell an additional 100 coverage for collision and theft is expensive but it s extremely expensive at any car rental Their coverage is not worthless as alleged It has a fairly high deductible though
