Why Gecko Rent a Car Puerto Vallarta?
Glad you could stop by! It is our hope that after being more informed about the facts you will choose to rent from us on your upcoming trip. Gecko Rent a Car was founded for the purpose of solving the hassles and problems visitors would encounter when renting vehicles in the area. Above all our mission is to provide a car rental solution gor short-term an long-term visitors alike in the Puerto Vallarta and Banderas Bay region. More specifically, to begin with, our goal is to create a rental company that would consistently provide significantly better customer service overall. In addition to having newer vehicles we also try and simultaneously provide low competitive rates. Equally important we want to build a long term relationship with our clients built on trust and honesty. For instance, the initial rate you get is the real rate with no hidden extras or surprises. When you arrive to our office we will go over the "rules of the road". Secondly we supply maps and thirdly we can assist with directions. Another key point is we are genuinely her to help, ask us anything, we know the area really well.
On the other side of the coin, for example, you hear countless stories about people being taken advantage of by the big rental car companies. Most of the those name brand agencies in the area are franchisees. They do not provide the same service or operate the same way as in the USA or Canada. With this being said, people still make the mistake of booking through Expedia, Kayak, Booking.com and other booking websites. Most of those sites do not cover mandatory insurance they purchased from a 3rd party site are not accepted by the rental company. Another point worth mentioning is that if you decline collision coverage they require a very high security deposit. Surprisingly, some of these big companies do a terrible job in maintaining their fleet. If you have a break down or need assistance it can be very time consuming. Who wants to waste their precious beach time messing with a badly maintained rental car? To sum it up, when renting with the "bigger" multi-national companies you can never be really sure of waht condition the vehicle will be in. Moreover what you will actually end up paying for your rental.
If you have experienced any of this before or if you want to skip that step. We hereby invite you to try Gecko Rent a Car. A company that focuses on customer satisfaction rather the hidden fees. Gecko was built on different principles: simplicity, reliability and honesty. So, in conclusion, we hope that if you haven't tried Gecko yet you will on your next trip!

RENT A CAR PUERTO VALLARTA | GECKO FAQS
IS IT NECESSARY TO RENT A CAR IN PUERTO VALLARTA?
Excellent question! The answer depends on how you would like to spend your time. Would like to explore the area or stay put in your accommodations? How am I getting from the airport to my accommodations and vice versa? Airport taxis are expensive! If your staying far from the airport this cost can be significant. For instance our rentals of 3 day or more rates include airport pick up for up to 3 people, if you are renting the day you arrive. If you take the vehicle till your departure date a ride back to the airport is also included. If you deduct your savings from airport transfer a rental starts to make more sense.
Other points to consider: Am I staying close to town? How far of walk is it to public transportation? Do I want to take double the time in a non air-conditioned bus to get to my destination? Are taxis expensive where I am staying? If you are staying in Punta de Mita or that general area taxis are double even triple the price of everywhere else on the bay. In general, Puerto Vallarta buses are very consistent and reliable. However, it takes a long time to cover distances. Consequently, It is uncomfortable going to a beach carrying umbrella, cooler and beach chairs, etc.
Therefore, having a rental vehicle makes a big difference on possibilities of exploring different areas. After all the whole point is to get to where you want and when you want. So go ahead! Rent and enjoy all the beaches, food, and diversity that other nearby towns have to offer. Finally, visit Bucerias, La Cruz de Huanacaxtle, Punta Mita, Sayulita, San Pancho, Lo de Marcos, Guayabitos, Los Ayala, San Blas, etc.
DO THE RATES INCLUDE TAXES AND INSURANCES?
As a rule. all of our car rental quotes include "out the door" rates with no hidden or extra fees upon return.
IS THE INSURANCE FULL COVERAGE AND IS THERE A DEDUCTIBLE?
To begin with, all of our vehicles include full coverage insurance. That's because we prepay for insurance on a yearly basis, therefore our rates are all inclusive. Subsequently yes, there is a deductible and for 5 passenger vehicles the amount can be $10,000 MXN or $15,000 MXN depending of your vehicle of choice. Next, for 7 passenger vehicles is $18,000 MXN. And finally, for 8 or 9 passenger vehicles is $20,000 MXN, $25,000 MXN or $30,000 MXN. We take a security deposit off your credit card upon arrival to the office. The deposit depends on the vehicle you get and remains as a hold on your credit card account until the vehicle is returned. So, upon returning the rental car we proceed with payment, then the deposit can be cancelled when paying cash or applied towards the payment of the rental paying with credit.
