Car Rental
I have had good service from Gecko Rentals in Bucerias. I have just now booked with Alamo for early May because they had very cheap internet rates.
When you rent cars in Mexico, I have found it useful to go over the car with a rental agency employee and note any \"dings\" (in writing) so that you are not blamed for a new \"ding\" when you return the car.

When you rent from Magno that is part of the process before you get the keys. The walk around the car with you and mark every ding, scratch, etc. If you see something you can point it out to them and they will mark it on the form. They check for your spare, jack/handle, etc. When you return the car they do the same process while you wait in the lobby. I have never had any problems with them at all. It is a much different process than when I rent in the states, where they just hand me the keys.
