After leaving the airport, there wasn't a separate Payless counter. Upon carefully checking the pickup details, I found out I needed to go to the Budget counter—they seem to be part of the same company. The shuttle bus took us to the pickup location, where we lined up to complete the registration process. There was absolutely no pressure to purchase additional insurance. After some routine procedures, I received a brand-new Kia equipped with CarPlay but no rearview camera or parking sensors. However, I adjusted quickly. Returning the car was also very convenient. Overall, a great experience—highly recommended!
The rental company name was different from the one during booking. There was no counter inside the airport. We followed the instructions to wait at the designated location but couldn’t find the rental company name on the order. It turned out they were using a different name. The rental company staff was already waiting at the specified location. We contacted QEEQ customer service for help. The customer service team responded promptly. Later, we learned the actual name of the rental company from other sources and finally met up with the staff.
The vehicle condition was mediocre, the tire pressure warning light remained on and the store couldn’t fix it. There’s no CarPlay so I had to use phone navigation, and without a mount, it was very inconvenient. The service was acceptable, but not returning the car with a full tank makes control difficult.
MEX used to have paper contracts, but now they have switched to an electronic system. After hiring a new team of employees, the service quality has improved noticeably—there’s less of the unresponsive attitude from before. Processes are now clearer, and communication is more systematic. That said, the training for new employees still needs to be improved.
When selecting a vehicle, you need to be extra cautious to avoid being 'downgraded.' For instance, if you book a Kia Forte, make sure you get at least an Omoda O5, Jetta, or Nissan Sentra; otherwise, it’s considered a downgrade, so be vigilant! If you reserve an MG, it’s common to be given an MG5 or a KIA K3 instead. And if you get an Omoda, don’t get too excited—the car usually has over 20,000 kilometers on it and may have some minor issues like low tire pressure (you may need to inflate them at a gas station), damaged in-car equipment (CarPlay might not work, backup cameras could malfunction), and more. If you can deal with these minor issues, go ahead with the rental; otherwise, you’ll need to request a replacement vehicle.
In conclusion, stay patient and enjoy driving in Mexico!
It was easy to find the shuttle bus location after landing. The driver was enthusiastic and took us to the rental car hall. There you need to get a number from the machine first. The staff handling the paperwork were relatively slow, and we waited for at least half an hour. However, the car pickup process was very smooth, with no upselling, and we got the car quickly.
