Europcar Car Rental CDMX Reforma
Contrary to all the reviews, most of who did not use Google to research - your US based car insurance is not valid in Mexico, your credit card insurance is not valid in Mexico, and the terms and conditions from Europcar clearly state they do not accept third-party liability insurance… so that leaves you to accept the PLI that all cars come with and then the standard options of LDW, SLI, etc that are always optional. I went with a medium packet, which essentially doubled the cars daily rate, but the last thing I wanna be doing on vacation is messing around with a Mexican insurance if I get into an accident.
There was a $1875 deposit for the car, so take that into account if you are someone whose credit cards are all maxed out.
Cost roughly $166 for the medium insurance and a VW Vento for two days. The car had 66,000 km on it. And was in good shape. I did take over 100 photos of the exterior with my cell phone to verify pre-existing damages.
Have you done a lot of research on what to expect, I did not find anything surprising nor any pressure tactics.
The main thing that I thought was cool was how they did a biometric scan of your face and then the computer compares it against your passport photo and your drivers license for likelihood that the person they just took a photo of the person in those photos.
Overall do your research and after doing it a majority of the reviews are simply misinformed. Watch out for those topes on your travels!
