Pros: dropoff was pretty easy
Cons: It was never disclosed at booking that I would be REQUIRED to purchase liability insurance from national at $20/day when the car only costed $5 total for the four days... They don't honor insurance offered by credit card companies. Full shakedown upon first arrival in Mexico

Hidden Charge - Mandatory Insurance
Cons: They force you to buy liability insurance for $34 dollars THE DAY! The total amount I paid for 6 days for this insurance equals to the annual premium for full coverage for a mid size car in Mexico. Employees on a very impolitely and condescending way told me to "take it or leave it". I'm ok with paying insurance as long as they disclose it is "mandatory" and cost at the time of doing the reservation and not at the time when picking the car up. They only show $5.85 daily rental rate when doing the reservation and once you travel and show up at their counter, they communicate to you the "mandatory" insurance.

Insurance
Pros: Na
Cons: I have a premium car rental insurance with Amex that I pay $24 per rental. National wouldn't that insurance and wants us to settle with their for $40 per day. Upon my return and checkin with amex, it seems that agent misled us

Mexican bait and switch is really a bummer
Pros: local customer service was friendly, professional and helpful.
Cons: Truly, we ought to be able to purchase the inexpensive 3rd party insurance for Mexico at the time we rent the car online. That was not offered and knowing it's required, I would have been looking for it. big drag and expense.

Unfairly required to pay for additional insurance
Pros: Good clean SUV
Cons: When we picked up the SUV, National required that we pay for additional insurance. I advised them that before leaving on this trip, I checked with Chase Visa to confirm that we would not be required to pay for additional insurance beyond the coverage provided by my credit card. I was told over the phone that there is no requirement in Mexico to take out additional insurance and, thus, would not have to do so. Nonetheless, National would not rent the car to us unless we paid for additional insurance. This incased the cost of the rental substantially. I am very dissatisfied with having to pay for additional insurance even though I was assured in advance that we would not have to do that.
