Top tips for renting a car at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz airport

  • While you might consider other forms of ground transportation to the city center, renting a Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport (PVR) car provides an easy, private, and comfortable means of getting around Puerto Vallarta. Taxis and buses come at significantly cheaper rates, but none gives you the liberty and smooth ride to various POIs like a rental car. Besides, a car rental at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport lets you select your preferred car based on your travel needs.
  • Although Puerto Vallarta is a big coastal city with an extensive road network, driving in the city is relatively easy and safe. The traffic laws in Mexico require drivers to steer on the far right side of the road, with the left lane designated for passing/overtaking. Additionally, you must be on the right-hand-side lane to make a left turn, which can take some time to get used to.
  • Unless you plan to make long trips (more than 300 miles), you won’t need an international driving permit as the Mexican traffic laws recognize a U.S. driver’s license. To drive safely, you need to understand speed limits in the city. Unless indicated otherwise, the speed limit of major highways is 110 km/h (68 mph), which drops to 100 km/h (62 mph) when leaving or entering the city, 70 km/h (43 mph) in built-up areas, 80 km/h (50mph) on avenues, 60 km/h (37 mph) on streets, and 10 km/h in residential areas and parking lots. That said, you need to drive under different speed limits when approaching certain zones. For example, where the speed limit is set at 50 km/h (30 mph) on highways, you are not supposed to exceed 40 km/h (25 mph) when approaching school zones.
  • Wondering whether you should refuel your tank when returning the car? Your car rental will always offer you the option for a prepay refill, or you can choose not to refill it. The former allows you to cater to full-tank charges during pickup, which alleviates additional fuel costs and will enable you to drive around over an extended period. If you choose not to refill the tank to the same level you found it, your car rental at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport will charge you for the used fuel.
  • Book your rental car at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz airport at least 9 weeks before your trip in order to get a below-average price

FAQs about renting a car at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz airport

  • Where are car rental operators located at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport?

    When you get to the Arrivals Terminal Hall, head to the car rental counters following the "Baggage Claim" signs. Once you’re there, you’ll see the vehicle rental counters next to the baggage carousels. The car rental facility lies at Carretera Vallarta-Tepic KM 75 and houses various counters by renowned rental companies. Other rental operators are located near the airport, and you’ll need to board your specific agency’s courtesy shuttles to access the off-airport rental operators.

  • Can I cover my Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport car rental liability using my credit card insurance?

    The issue of whether or not you can use your credit card insurance for your car rental at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz Airport varies from one operator to another. Generally, most types of U.S. credit card insurance are accepted in Mexico, but if your rental company insists on mandatory car insurance, their request supersedes your credit card policy. Many onsite rental companies sell renters their own auto insurance, which is typically pocket-friendly and can save you money, considering the premium rental charges at flight hubs.

  • What are the best places to park a rental car in Puerto Vallarta?

    Getting parking space in Puerto Vallarta can be challenging because there’s limited parking space with high demand, especially after the rush hour begins. Therefore, we recommend that you find a parking garage in the outskirts of the downtown area. Alternatively, you can leverage the parking lots at various shopping malls and commercial centers. For instance, large shopping malls have designated locations within the town with free parking spaces. To access other parking lots, head to Costco, off Av Fluvial Vallarta, or the Soriana parking lot situated close to the Marina Terminal.

  • Which car rental companies will pick you up at Puerto Vallarta Ordaz airport?

    Car rental companies that offer shuttle or pick-up services from Puerto Vallarta Ordaz airport to off-airport locations include Ace, Advantage, Alamo, Avis, Budget, Dollar, Economy Rent a Car, Enterprise Rent-A-Car, Europcar, and Firefly.

We were pushed to get added insurance even though we already paid for added insurance when we booked the reservation. They also told us we would get a full refund if we went to this timeshare pitch. We went and wasted a few hours and were told at the end that we won’t get a refund because they don’t give them out.

Be aware you will be charged extra and about double the cost of your rental for insurance and it is mandatory. We were not made aware of this until we arrived in Mexico. They should be upfront about these costs and include it in the charge. This is misleading and a deceptive marketing practice in my opinion. Otherwise, the staff were nice and the car worked well.

Pros:

Terrible staff. Location is NOT in airport, it’s miles away. Made us wait for 20 minutes for pick up. Once there they did not let me deny insurances although I am insured by Amex. The forced insurances were more expensive than the car rental itself. I tried talking to the manager but he was equal or worst than the employees. When we checked the car for damages I tried to do a video but the employee would not acknowledge the date, name or name of the company. Left my Amex cc open for a couple thousand dollars only to fin out one day later that “someone” tried to use my card for internet purchases upwards of $3,000 usd. TERRIBLE COMPANY

This company is a time share front. Extraordinary "mandatory Insurance" cost. Felt like extortion. Then they offer the refund if you attend a time share presentation for Vidanta Resorts. Value of rebate seems to be the value of the insurance. SHAME on KAYAK for representing this company. You will be finding more detail coming soon on a facebook and trip advisor post naming all involved. MEXC car rental is absolutely dishonest and your stuck at the counter in a foreign country when you discover this.

This was Avis at puerto Vallarta airport. Regular size car. The line was extremely slow and staff moved very slowly. Took an hour to get the car with only 1 person ahead of me. Price was ok but I declined insurance since my credit card and auto insurance policy cover the car. They insisted on putting a $4200 hold on my credit card in case there was any damage- even a scratch. Crazy. Won’t rent there again.

The car was not in the best condition, engine light on and multiple areas with damage. No handles on the boot and filling cap release. Took almost an hour to get the car once I got to the rental shop. Was charged additional insurance even though I have worldwide cover and then an extortionate warranty of 1333 dollars which because I was using a debit card I had to pay an additional non refindable 66 dollars. 2 bars of fuel on the gauge. A rental that started at 57dollars ended up costing over 200. The hidden fees are a joke and I will not be in a hurry to rent a car from this company ever again

Pros:

The car was fine and the people in the Puerto Vallarta office spoke English which was nice. It was nice to be able to pick up in Puerto Vallarta and drop off in Guadalajara.

Cons:

The one way fee of $200 seemed excessive but the fact that the mandatory insurance cost even more was totally unexpected. Although Mexican drivers are crazy so while expensive, the insurance is probably worth it if you get in an accident. It would have been nice to know the cost of the insurance ahead of time. It was unanticipated and cut into our budget.

By far the worst rental car experience of my life. We were charged much more the the rate advertised on Hotwire and the “insurance” charge made my total 3x more than what I found online. $360 USD for a 2 day rental, MORE than I paid for an entire week rental with a different agency in the area the week before. On top of that, the agents tried to charge us an extra $1000 pesos to clean out a little dog hair that was in the car for “extra work” they would need to do. The manager tried to negotiate with us when we argued, and lowered it to $500 pesos, as if it was some kind of deal that we had to negotiate. There was nothing about dog hair in the contract, and when we pointed that out, the agent pointed to a different section about smoking in the car, claiming that it also applied to dog hair. Anyway, we didn’t want to pay this absurd fee so We took the car and cleaned it with OUR HANDS and it took 10 minutes. We read terrible reviews online but decided to risk it since it was only a 2 day rental. It was way overpriced, a horrible experience, and honestly the whole company seems like a giant scam. Knowing the reviews, we were cautious on everything: we brought the far back a day early, full tank of gas, got the 100% insurance coverage, and they still tried to rip off a client like us. Hertz should be ashamed to be associated with this company, and they should also be investigated for fraud, based on our experience and others I’ve read. I will never be renting from Hertz again and I will be sharing this review with everyone I know.

Terrible experience. They did not have the car we had booked for our reservation. I had originally booked a standard SUV for 300 American dollars. They only had a Jeep and a compact car, we definitely would had not fit our 4 ppl and all our luggage in the compact car. Asked for the price of the Jeep and they were trying to charge us 1700 American dollars. I know it’s never the price they actually quote you for but come on now, that’s more that 5 times what we were quoted for the SUV. What a joke! Did not give them our business and definitely never will when we go back.

Not a good representation of Kayak, Hertz or Mexico. Stealing is a crime but I had a flight to catch and they use it against you. Losers. I will be reporting this all to my credit card company but the criminals at Hertz show you fine print stating you agreed. People who take advantage of others should be fired.

Cons:

Do not steal and take advantage of travelers that are visiting to experience the beauty of your country. They lied to me when I extended our stay and the price was nearly double when dropping off the car. Terrible and sleazy. Not a good representation of Kayak, Hertz or Mexico.

Pros:

The goodwill of the service personal at the pick up site, they did their best in spite of the poor infrastructure and maintenance of the cars.

Cons:

1) Bettter cars: cars without broken windshields; cars with good maintenance. The air-conditioner had a terrible smell. On day five, the cooling system stopped working along with the AC; other alarms went off. The substituted car missed the fuel-cap. 2) Get the customer the car we paid for.

Pros:

Ease of booking via priceline and the seemingly good price

Cons:

Once at PVR, the taxes, fees, and "required" insurance coverage nearly tripled the cost of the car rental. Plus, we had to wait 1 hour for the shuttle to Enterprise, after being told that a car wasn't available via Budget (the rental company confirmed by Payless).

Pros:

If you want to pay more.....Payless!

Cons:

Reservation was made for an SUV to fit 4 people plus golf gear. Upon arrival, they did not have an SUV available so offered us a Jetta. They also don't include mandatory insurance in their quote (doubled the price of the rental). As we could not fit all the people + gear in the Jetta, 2 people had to take a taxi to our destination. +80$. The office was not open early enough before our return flight which again meant another 2 taxi's from punta mita to PVR. The (child?) manager Jaime was openly rude, unhelpful, and unwilling to compromise despite us paying out of pocket for three 40 minute taxis due to their screw ups. He even told us that the taxi we booked through the 4 seasons was "not a real taxi" then suddenly he went back to not being able to speak english. Huge waste of time and money on our vacation. Could not urge you to look elsewhere strongly enough.

Cons:

We made a rental reservation online prior to arriving in Mexico. The rental rate was very, very inexpensive, but we figured that was because the region didn't have many renters. When we arrived at the rental facility after 6 hours of travel, burdened with our luggage, we were told that there was an additional $38/day rental cost to cover liability insurance. The fact that I have individual auto insurance and rental insurance through my credit card company didn't matter. What a complete and total ripoff. Because the car wasn't absolutely essential, we ended up calling a taxi and paying 1/3 of what we would have paid for the rental. When I make a booking that tells me all taxes and fees are included, I expect that to be true when I arrive to pick up my vehicle.

This was a Hertz/Dollar combo place so keep that in mind but that is how it goes at the PVR airport. I was coerced very strongly to buy additional insurance even though I already had adequate coverage for what is required. The rental price shown at the counter was higher than booking by $30 or so and attempts to demonstrate were summarily ignored.

Pros:

Our van was not ready for the day requested, so the staff lent us their shuttle van so we were not stranded, or incite extra costs for taxis. This was appreciated, particularly given the price deception.

Cons:

The price advertised was dramatically less than what was actuality. While this was a red flag, it remains categorically price deceptive. Beyond this, we were expected to participate in a timeshare presentation.

Nov 2018

KAYAK

Pros:

The folks at the car rental office were excellent. Spoke English well, and were very helpful. Often, renting a car in Mexico can be an ordeal, as the business model is "give the car away, but gouge for as much insurance money as you can." This was different; I have an umbrella policy that covers everything but international car rental liability, so that was all the coverage I purchased with the rental. No problema. The guys in the office completely understood and didn't give me the usual arm-twisting. I'll def use this agency again!

Cons:

I reserved a Camry with automatic. I got a tiny little Chevy with manual tranny and everything else, too. (No cruise? No power mirrors? No remote locking? What is this? 1967?) But that is a petty complaint, considering the overall experience.

They asked for 300 usd extra on top of the price i payed online. They wouldn’t let me leave the car lot with the car without paying. The ad said there might be extra cost if drop off was a different location. But this extra cost was for nothing. I contacted priceline to get help but they said all they could do was cancel the rental which would have left me and my family stranded without a car. I am asking you to pay the difference as you are responsible for not showing the true price on your system.

I didn't even end up renting the car. When I got to the location, they told me I needed mandatory insurance, even if my credit card offered it as a benefit. They gave me 3 "plans" that offered less coverage based on price: $130/day, $100/day, and $60/day. I rented this car for ~$20 day, and now they want to charge me AT LEAST $60/day for insurance? My sister and I walked out of the location and we walked into a Hertz to rent from them. I will NEVER rent a car from KAYAK or Rentalcars.com again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Serious credibility issues for both of your firms.

Cons:

We were completely scammed from the minute that we walked into the Hertz office in Mexico. They took advantage of us and it was very sad. Even though our taxes and fees were including the rental price they forced additional taxes and fees which we knew was incorrect. They forced us to get insurance when we wanted to waive it and we had already confirmed that we had insurance with both our auto company and through our credit card before hand. We were also forced to pay for the full tank of gasoline when we have only usedLess than half. The entire experience was very unfortunate and wrong. They also wouldn’t give us the keys to our vehicle until we sat through a seminar on excursions and “” discounts because we got a car rental. We should not have been forced to do that.

I picked this company because they had an airport location; thinking I would not have to shuttle offsite to get the car. That wasn’t the case; I had to take a shuttle to an offsite location. FYI. Also, the $322 weekly rental turned out to be $714 because of the required insurance. Over double the amount we anticipate spending.
