Few people who rent a car in Mexico don't have a story about the shenanigans pulled by local rental car companies. Mexico is a great place to visit, but rental car companies there are notorious for their scam. They often quote low "guaranteed rates" and force customers to purchase "mandatory" insurance when they pick up the vehicle.
The Mexican franchisees of the rental car company may take the cake for messing with customers, despite the fact that they have one of the worst reputations in the business. Their location at the airport has a rating of 1.5 on the review site.

The amount may be different depending on how many claims are submitted.
