KAYAK’s top tips for hiring a car in Silao

  • Compared to public buses and taxis, car rentals in Silao offer greater flexibility, allowing visitors to explore the city and its surroundings conveniently. With a rental car, you can easily reach attractions like the stunning Guanajuato Mummy Museum, which showcases well-preserved mummies, and the historic Alhóndiga de Granaditas, a former grain storage now transformed into a museum and cultural center. Additionally, Silao car rentals provide access to nearby wonders like the picturesque town of San Miguel de Allende and the enchanting archaeological site of Cañada de la Virgen, enriching your travel experience.
  • Some of Silao's best pickup locations for car rentals are Bajío International Airport (BJX) and Rochester Santiago de Querétaro Airport (QRO). Upon arrival at BJX, head to the Ground Transportation Area on the first floor of Terminal A, where reputable car rental companies like Avis, Budget, and Enterprise have counters. Similarly, at QRO, proceed to the ground transportation area on the lower level of Terminal B. The car rental agencies stationed here avail a wide range of vehicles to suit the different needs of customers. These strategic locations ensure swift access to rental services, enabling you to embark on your journey quickly and conveniently.
  • It would be best to remember a few things when considering using car rentals in Silao. For instance, the driving style is generally moderate, but traffic can be heavy. Drivers usually adhere to traffic laws, but defensive driving is advisable due to occasional aggressive driving. Mexico's traffic laws are enforced, including seatbelt usage and speed limits. Child car seat laws are stringent, requiring children under 12 to use appropriate seats. Infractions may result in fines. It's crucial to respect local driving customs, prioritize safety, have the necessary documents and insurance, and be aware of one-way streets and parking regulations to ensure a smooth and compliant driving experience.
  • Driving car rentals in Silao may pose challenges during rush hours, typically around 8 am to 10 am and 5 pm to 7 pm. Congestion can affect major roads like Carretera Federal 45 and Boulevard Torres Landa. Limited parking spaces in downtown areas might also be an issue. While drivers generally adhere to traffic laws, occasional aggressive driving can be encountered. Familiarize yourself with local driving customs, plan for traffic delays, and consider using a GPS for navigation to mitigate these difficulties and ensure a smoother travel experience.
  • Book your car hire in Silao at least 1 day before your trip in order to get a below-average price
  • Standard hire cars in Silao are around 80% cheaper than other car types, on average

To start with it took them a long time to come and pick us up at the airport, it turns out their location is off site. We got there and they decided to give us a VW sedan that was all scratched, damaged, dirty, high mileage, and with an empty gas tank (the light was on but luckily the gas station is next door). We asked them if they had another car that was in a better shape and they said not because that's all they had. Drove the car away and after the 2nd, the vehicle started to make this loud and strange noise which seamed unsafe. We called them and arranged to switch the vehicle. When we arrived to the location they did not have the replacement car ready and we had to wait for them to bring another vehicle similar to the 1st one. As we were inspecting the replacement vehicle before picking it up, one of the employees got really irritated because we were switching our belongings to the replacement vehicle, and claimed that we scratched the rear bumper with one of our bags (that was not the case). This person was so rude, aggressive, and he even dared to say a profanity to my face in spanish thinking that I would not understand. I immediately asked to speak to his manager which needed up apologizing. Extremely bad experience, I don't recommend this place.

The car should be illegal to rent. It was filthy dirty, had no wiper blades or windshield fluid, the steering wheel barely worked and the car vibrates when I went in excess of 30MPH. The airbag light was in so that also would not have deployed.

Eduardo, Apr 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

Maybe I didn't reserve the car with enough anticipation because when I arrived to the airport, the agent said there was no availability. I was puzzled because I got two confirmation emails stating I had a car reserved. But the agent said I need to reserve at least 24 hours in advance. They had no cars available. I got no car. I had to call car insurance to reimburse me my money.

Cons:

Car agency and Kayak need to have better communication and coordination so the client can know what to expect by arrival.

Pros:

Nothing at all, it’s a rip off, they don’t give you options at all,car was dirty inside and out, no gas, not what I reserved, and the insurance I bought when made the reservation it’s NO good but theirs is the best!! I don’t understand if it’s a Budget franchise and they are all over the world the insurance from the USA and Bidget is from the USA some they make you buy theirs and make more $$ Now I have to call and get my reimbursement I hope I can get it back but I will NEVER rent from them again l

Cons:

Customer service and options from the beginning

6.0 Okay

Andy, Jan 2021

KAYAK

Pros:

The staff was very friendly and efficient.

Cons:

The car pickup is not actually on airport as advertised, but a short drive away across the highway. Drop-off is at the airport. The car I got was in need of some maintenance. Various door lights came on and off while driving, with beeps. The handle to open the fuel tank is loose and pops off. The drivers seat was a little ripped. This vehicle was in need of some maintenance to address those issues or time to go to a lower quality rental agency, and an appropriately reduced price.

Trash service. Got forced to buy insurance even though I had my own. The insurance was more than the price of the rental. Added $437 (American) to the price of the rental. The vehicle was dirty. The brakes on the van were super worn off. Had issues stopping the van while driving. We got a flat tire. The spare was very cracked and also flat. We had to get the original and the spare fixed. The lug wrench is trash. And the jack to lift the van was defective. As I was lifting the van to remove the tire, the jack lost power and the van fell. Almost broke my arm. Overall a very bad experience. Would not recommend. Their vehicles are not well maintained and very dirty, to top it off.

Well I rented one type of car. When I got to the counter they said they don’t even have that type of car. The car was dirty. I waited an hour for them to wash the car, which was a wasted hour.

They wanted to charge $900 for insurance which is more than double the rental amount. So we cancelled but they refused to give us our money back for the reservation. A total ripoff!

They don’t disclose that insurance will be outrageously expensive compared to the quoted price. You think you’re getting a car for $32/week, but it’s really more like $2000/week.

Surprise 100$ per day cost that was not disclosed at rental through kayak. Would never have booked this option and do not recommend for others. Go outside of kayak and stick to bigger companies.

They wanted to give us a vehicle that had an engine light turned on. They had lots of cars on their lot but apparently only has 2 registered. They stated the other vehicle that was available was already reserved. After some talking and threatening to go to a different rental company they were able to give us the vehicle that didn’t have any malfunctions
