When hiring a budget hatchback, it is definitely worth saving on insurance deposit (franchise). Deposits on small cars in Mexico vary from 100 to 1.000 euro/dollars. Check the rental conditions of each car in your selection to find a vehicle with a minimum deposit.
If your routes in Mexico are foreseen to pass through hilly areas or mountains, it is not recommended to consider very small cars for rental. Their engines are usually insufficient for a confident driving on the roads with long or steep climbs.
At the rental office in Cancun, consider to take a 'Breakdown Assistance' package or ask an officer for a contact data to use in case of a vehicle breakdown. Cheap cars are sometimes unpredictable in operation.
Upon receipt of the rental invoice, please check that all the information, as well as the final payment amount do match the data in your voucher.

Detailed FAQ on the rental process
Unleaded gasoline is a real rarity at local petrol stations. In general, the quality of fuel in local petrol stations is much lower comparing to a number of European countries and the U.S..
Local people prefer to use the services of large petrol stations. As a rule, they provide petrol of the highest quality. On small petrol stations fuel is very often diluted with other liquids. In addition, pouring less fuel than bought is an integral part of service of small petrol stations.
In Mexico, there are no self-service petrol stations. Customers do not even need to leave their vehicle. Simply tell the operator the type of fuel. It is also possible to ask him to check the tire pressure and clean the glass - these services are free.
