Car rental in Cabo San Lucas
We'd like to rent a car on an upcoming trip. It's been years since we've rented a car in Cabo. It was an unpleasant experience. We had an amazing quote but it wasn't honored. Once there, we were told we needed to add a lot of insurance that wasn't included in the quote. We'd like to get a quote that includes any required insurance and then would be honored on arrival. Where have you gotten ethical service?

We did get private transportation to and from hotel to airport. You can't get Uber from the airport. I think you have to walk out to the nearest grocery store to use the app which we didn't want to. Going back to airport, I believe we could have used Uber, but I already booked roundtrip.

I have booked with National twice in the last 4 years in Cabo San Lucas at the airport and didn't have much difficulty with the contract price. Also, note them emerging out of customs you'll probably be met with a lot of touts that will claim to be whatever you are looking for. For example, they'll ask if you're looking for a rental car, taxi or hotel shuttle and then immediately tell you that they are the person specifically for that. They are actually either shady cab drivers or more likely, time share drivers that will drive you to a timeshare property you did not ask to go to. Best to just walk by and go to the rental car area and up to the companies booth.

We had an excellent experience with https://bbbrentacar.com/ We had it all arranged in advance. On arrival, we took a taxi to their office which they paid. The car was older than most car rental companies with quite a few scrapes but performed very well. The price was exactly what they said. There was no effort to upcharge us. On our return, we left our luggage in the car and they drove us to the terminal.
