Car Rental at BJX from $1/day

[mr bill]

In Monterrey I rented a mid-sized car from Alamo [Oct29-31] the cost broke down as follows:

Day rate x 2 @78.00.........158.00
CDW x2 @270..................540.00
TPL x 2 @230...................460.00
USA x 1 @169.60..............169.60 looks like they forgot to charge me the 2nd day and left me uncovered
Airport fee 18%................238.61
SUBTOTAL......................1564.21
IVA 16%.........................250.27
TOTAL...........................1814.48 ABOUT US$53/day


The Mexican mandatory insurance was included in the daily base rate. A US$500 hold was placed on my AMEX and there was no pressure to take any additional insurance.

The CDW/TPL were optional. USA was required to cross the border
TPL = 3rd Party Liability
