Best car rental company in Puerto Vallarta
February 4, 2025
As frequent winter travellers to Puerto Vallarta, we have rented cars from many of the national companies and found it to be quite expensive. Also, the national companies tend to nickel and dime you once they get you into their office and upsell you on every possible thing they can think of which we never liked.This year we found GECKO and a completely different experience that was the exact opposite of the big companies! Their rates are more than reasonable and less than the other companies. Plus they offered us a discount as we rented for 60 days. The rental process was fast and efficient, and there was no extra charges. It was one price all inclusive of insurance, etc. This is probably the most satisfying Car Rental experience I think I’ve ever had in my life! My only regret is I hadn’t found this company sooner. I highly recommend this company.
Great Rental Car Service in Mexico
January 1, 2025
We went to Salulita over Christmas and rented a car from Gecko. Because we were flying in on the evening of Christmas Eve, the Gecko office was going to be closed. But the staff made arrangements for us and communicated clearly. The car was great and having it made a big difference on what we could do and see in the region. The price was amazing – 7 days for about $350 with full insurance.
