sambrit10 Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Check the S&S Auto website and give them a call: http://www.ssauto.com.mx/rentals.html They will have reliable cars that are properly insured and I believe their rates are reasonable.

Orygun Duck Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Just a thought. Unless the information being conveyed is sensitive or particularly private in nature, PMs are probably best avoided, since the information therein is very often useful to others reading the post. (That's not to say that in Hensley's case there were not sound reasons for not sharing the info with the entire board.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHILLIN Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 Ron Young, who is a mechanic specializing in Volkswagen Beetles (Vochos), rented to a neighbor for $400 U.S. per month. He is in the complex across the highway from Soriana. It was a bit of a beater and remember it is a standard transmission. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyfull Posted July 12, 2015 Report Share Posted July 12, 2015 When I first came here it was for 2 months. Bought an older car from Mark Turford and sold it to a gringa when I left. Total cost to me after I sold it was $150usd. A consideration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sm1mex Posted July 13, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 S&S wants over 1000 dollars a month and that is out of my friends budget so still looking for a car to rent for 3 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryB Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 make sure to get insurance. Without it an accident can mean time in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambrit10 Posted July 13, 2015 Report Share Posted July 13, 2015 Just a thought, and it may not be helpful depending on the situation, but maybe your friend should consider only renting a car for specific needs. Most of the time it's easy to get around this area by walking, taking the bus, or taking a taxi. Even the bus into Guad is easy to catch and then he can take taxis around the city which saves wear and tear on the nerves and isn't too expensive. If he wants to do some road trips he could plan them close together and rent for one or two weeks at a time instead of a solid three months. Anyway, if he is going any distance he'll want something reliable so the extreme "budget" option may not be the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRPJR Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I believe there is (or at least there was) a car rental place in the little strip mall accross from LLoyds. We rented from them a couple of years ago and thought they were OK. Can't recall the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I don't think you'll find much better than S&S's price. After all, it's a full vehicle for three whole months. Imagine what that would cost back home. Normally we're talking a week or two. The purchase and resell option is a smart idea, as long as the paperwork is all done properly, and that I'm not sure how to handle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerm Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Dot know where "back home" is but a $1,000 dollars a month is high anywhere in the United States> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted July 14, 2015 Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Canada, where you're right. A standard-size in Ottawa is under $1,000. But items like this are historically much more expensive than back home. Just a quick online check shows a standard-sized vehicle from Budget in the U.S. is over $1,000.

sm1mex Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 I have had several recommendations and I have found 4 different persons renting cars at a good rate. My friend will need to decide what to take as some are stick shift for a couple of buck less and some are automatic for a couple of buck more. All have full insurance except one place, which does not carry collision, only liability, so that counts that out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardo10 Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 I had the misfortune of renting a car from one of the aforementioned car owners. Luckily I inquired through the emergency insurance number given to me about insurance coverage in case of an accident. I explained that this was a rental car and was I covered? The answer was no, there is not specific rental car insurance on this car. Since then I have learned that I might be covered if I drove someones private car and lied about the rental issue in the event of an accident. However if the insurance company did learn that a private car was being rented, I wonder if they would void an insurance claim. A big claim, or even jail time to me is not worth the risk. So do your homework, call the insurance company and inquire about "rental car insurance" or rent at the airport or from someone with valid "rental car insurance" and avoid the risk.
