It is my first time using Sixt car rental in Cancun and i am very very happy! The car rental with liability cost for 5 days was $144. I was offered their insurance but i declined and just asked for liability, because it is by Mexican law you have to get their liability for rental car, i called my Geico insurance and they say they do not cover rental car in Mexico. So i was prepared for getting their liability. Employees there were very helpful and everything went smooth and quick, i got Chevrolet Aveo, practiically brand new car, it has 5K kilometers on it. I am coming back in October 2025 again and definitely will rent out from them again. I was renting before a few times in Cancun from different companies and let me tell you, it was a complete ripoff. Alamo and Enterprise policy with insurance is rediculous.

We rented a large SUV from Sixt in Cancún, based on my very good experiences with this company in Germany. The service provided by Alberto was excellent, and we were very happy we chose Sixt for our rental. Many thanks to Alberto and the entire Sixt team!

Very positive impressions!!!
I booked a car with the Sixt app.
The day before, they messaged me on WhatsApp to check my flight.
They didn't push extra insurance since I had it with my card.
The car was good, and the manager let me pick between two of them.
They even documented every scratch and dent in the app and emailed me a full report.
