Localiza is one of Latin America’s leading car rental brands, known for its broad network across major cities and airports. Its fleet ranges from compact economy cars to spacious SUVs, catering equally well to solo travellers, families and business guests. The company’s streamlined online booking system and clear rental requirements help ensure a smooth, transparent experience from reservation to pick-up, a hallmark of Localiza’s customer-focused approach.

Location

If you’re arriving at Cancún International Airport, you’ll spot Localiza’s rental desk inside the arrivals terminal, specifically located near Terminal 2. Rather than a remote off-site shuttle ride, the counter sits within the main airport complex. However, while Localiza’s website confirms a desk location at the airport, there’s no specific reference to whether you actually collect your car at the airport or at an alternative location.

Fleet

At Cancún airport, Localiza presents an accessible range of vehicles: economy-class examples such as compact 4-door models are often advertised from around $20 per day. Mid-size and SUV categories generally rise into the $40 per day band, though this can vary with season and availability.

For larger groups or premium vehicles, the fleet also includes full-size and upscale SUV models in higher price tiers.

Insurance and Deposits

Localiza rentals include Limited Supplier Insurance, which covers bodywork damage and theft but excludes damage or loss of keys, tyres, windscreens, glass, and the undercarriage. A refundable security deposit of $575 is placed as a temporary hold on the accepted payment card at pick-up and released once the vehicle is returned without missing fuel, tolls, fines, or other charges.

The damage and theft excess is $2,250, representing the maximum amount payable by the lead driver in the event of an incident. For example, if repairs cost £1,800, you would pay only up to your agreed excess amount. For added peace of mind, Premium Cover is available to reimburse any excess charges, alongside other optional protections such as Collision Damage Waiver, Supplemental Liability, Personal Accident Coverage, and Roadside Assistance.

Client Reviews

Localiza’s services hold an overall customer rating of 7.9 out of 10, reflecting generally positive feedback. The company scores particularly well for overall value for money (9.0) and the car hire pick-up process (8.7), while service at the rental desk earns 7.2 and vehicle cleanliness receives 7.0. The drop-off process is rated favourably, and the average waiting time of around 31 minutes is pretty typical for a busy airport rental location.
