KAYAK’s top tips for renting a car in Guadalajara
- Planning on picking up a hire car for your trip to Guadalajara? If your flight lands at Guadalajara International Airport then you will find the airport’s various car hire desks in the main hall of Terminal 1.
- One of the more unique features of parking in Guadalajara is that you are often expected to tip for parking. Specifically, you will commonly see people guiding drivers to parking spaces nearby and, although they are not a professional service, they still expect a tip for their work.
- Traffic circles, or glorietas, as they are known as in Mexico, are a key feature of driving in Guadalajara. They are very common and can be quite intimidating for new drivers because traffic may be moving quickly and apparently dangerously through them. However, they are simple enough affairs as long as you drive defensively and know ahead of time where you are going.
- Rush hour in Guadalajara, like in many major cities in the world, is no joke. Drivers not wanting to get stuck in traffic are advised to avoid the daily rush hour if possible. In general, the morning rush hour goes from 6:30 a.m. and lasts until 9:30 a.m. or even 10:00 a.m. As for the afternoon and evening peak, it starts at around 5:30 p.m. and finishes up at around 8:00 p.m. One of the main avenues to avoid during rush hour in Guadalajara is the Anillo Periferico, as it is among the worst roads hit by congestion.
- Book your rental car in Guadalajara at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
- Standard rental cars in Guadalajara are around 30% cheaper than other car types, on average

Cons:
The site we chose to pick up our car had a sign taped to its door instructing us to call a number. We waited for 20 minutes for someone to appear, who brought us to a different location 15 minutes away in the rental car we would be renting. They shouldn’t have made us go out of our way by advertising a false pick up location, it added unnecessary time and confusion to the whole experience. It was very pricy and there was a 4.5% hidden fee for using a credit card when we returned the car.2.0 Poor

I was not given an option to decline insurance coverage not needed or wanted. My reservation would not have been honored and they would have declined car rental. I had 8 pieces of luggage and 94 and 92 year olds with me. I had no choice but to accept very expensive insurance, not needed as my credit card covers it. Also, no car available on location for me and I had to wait a full hour for the car. I was lied to, being told it was being cleaned. I walked over to the cleaning bay to check and no caravan was there. I asked again and was told it was a few more minutes while they finished cleaning it. I confronted them and explained there was no car there and to give me an honest answer. They finally said it was coming from a different location. They still had to clean it when it arrived. Poor customer service and dishonest.2.0 Poor

They didn’t have any car available at the time I reached the car rental office. They even told me that my only solution was to go to other car rental companies, however same day reservations are usually more expensive. I found another place nearby from the company Mex Rent a Car, however I had to Pay more than double the price of what I reserved on Payless. I will never choose Payless again.4.0 Mediocre
Reynaldo, Nov 2019
Pros:
When I arrived to pick up vehicle the Payless Rental Agency had no office inside the airport or shuttle that takes you to pick up the office. You have to walk three blocks towards there office!!!! With a family of three small children and four suitcases.....Once I arrived to the office there was a line of about 15 people in front of me, which was not a problem because it was a Friday and I could understand the rush. Once it was my turn after one hour and half of waiting they informed me that the vehicle I had requested was not available even though I had reserved it with more than a week of anticipation. That they could offer me a regular car but that it would cost me about double what the original reservation would be. They informed me that because I did not do the reservation directly with them that I had to call you're office to change anything ……..I tried many times calling you're office but with no luck...….This has been the worst experience me and my family have had …..We have never been treated like this …...We will never you you're service and will definitely recommend to any one we know or meet never to use this service ever.Cons:
