Hertz Rental Car in Cancun

Hertz in Cancun can be rough. At peak times, waits can easily be over an hour. Often, the car that you rent via Hertz.com will not be what you get at the airport.

If you’re fortunate, you will be upgraded to larger vehicle. Other times, you’ll get another car, “in the same class.”

This past trip, I was in Mexico for two weeks. The first week, I was by myself and rented a Compact car – a Dodge Attitude. The second week, I was diving with friends so rented a Mid-size car. After waiting 1.5 hours, I got another Dodge Attitude.

Here’s a comparison table that I put together:

Class Hertz.com CUN Airport
