- M T4 contributionsGreat Customer ServiceRented a vehicle for a week. The reservation process was painless, pre-pickup contact was effective and pick-up was well organized. The staff were exceptional. The vehicle was a little beat up mechanically but it served the purpose. I rented in Belize City for the drive to Placencia.Visited November 2023Travelled soloWritten 14 November 2023
- sdsmith03032018Spokane, Washington9 contributionsResponsive Car Rental Company with Multiple Locations in Belize!My wife and I recently traveled to Belize and we had a great experience renting from AQ Belize Car Rental! I was interested in renting a vehicle so that we could drive one-way from the Belize International Airport over to San Ignacio and then back across the Hummingbird Highway and down to Placencia. AQ was one of the few rental car companies with offices in both locations and where we could arrange a one-way trip. Customer Service at AQ was first class! I was able email extensively in advance of our trip to confirm trip details, ensure an evening pick-up at the airport, and with questions during our trip. AQ was always fast and responsive to answer my questions. The car we drove admittedly needed some repair work and the key fob didn't work, but we were fine overall and had a wonderful experience driving through Belize. Thank you again to all of the AQ office staff and customer service representatives who answered my questions and helped us have a great trip!Visited November 2023Travelled with familyWritten 10 December 2023
- FarAway498097091211 contributionDecent car but with hidden extras.We rented a car with AQ for 3 days while visiting Belize. The booking system was easy and the staff were very helpful over email. The car was fairly priced and ran well so no complaints there. The issue to watch out for is the added insurance. It says ‘optional’ on the website but when we arrived at the office they said it was required for all rental less than 3 days. This information was not on the email sent to us, which also labelled it as ‘optional’. These additions summed over 100 USD to our rental which was out of our budget. After a while discussing it they offered to knock off about 70 USD which we had to accept. For comparison we just hired a 4x4 for 1 day in San Ignacio with all insurance included. Also, all information on the internet states that rentals in Belize should come with all required insurance included. Lastly, don’t pay them 30 USD for a taxi into town. You can get a bus right across the street for 1 USD per person.Visited February 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 18 February 2024
- Sherpa168495902261 contributionBelize and Guatemala tripThey were awesome and very helpful. The process was simple and they assisted with my travel plans to Guatemala by explaining the border crossing and what i needed. I would highly recommend them when renting in Belize. The car we rented for the week ran and performed perfectly for being a few years old. The people in the office and on the phone were very polite and it was a pleasure doing business with them.Visited January 2024Travelled as a coupleWritten 18 February 2024
- Patrick T3 contributionsGreat experience!Rented from AQ for 3 days and it was a great experience. The customer service was excellent! Everything was quick and easy. We got a decent vehicle (Chevy Equinox) at a good price. I would have no problems booking with them again on a future trip. On a side note, I would question some of the complaints in some of the other reviews. I saw that insurance was required for rentals less than 3 days-- not sure why others didn't see that. Not sure if some of these people have ever rented a car in a foreign country. I travel extremely cheap, but realize if I am in a foreign country I don't want to be worried if I get into an accident. Amazing that some of these people will spend $300+ per night on a hotel room, but complain about being covered for their rental car.Visited February 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 22 February 2024

Horrible. Rental a one day rental for $70.00. The first car's transmission would not shift past the 2nd gear, the AC did not work and the fuel indicator light was on the moment we got in the car... Really? What rental car company does this? On yeah, Belize.. The 2nd car was just a little better @ at least 10 years old and with 165K miles.
When I went to turn the car in, the wanted to charge me 75 Bel $$ for a chip in the windshield.. Really? yeah.. Stay away from this company...

We went to Belize this summer to get away, spent a few days in one of the island towns and then decided to go to the mainland Belize and explore. AQ Car rental made it easy and inexpensive to do this. They picked us up at the water taxi at no extra charge. Directed us to where we could buy groceries, gas and places to stay away from. They were very helpful in directing us where to go and what places to see. The car was dependable an easy to rent and return since they have an office at the airport. I recommend this car rental agency to anyone wanting to explore Belize.

We rented a car from Richard at the San Pedro Express water taxi. He was very helpful and got us all setup with a great rental car. The rental and return process was super easy and Richard personally took us back to the water taxi after returning the car! Highly recommend AQ!

My husband and I rented a car twice and a golf cart once from the Placencia branch, and each experience was very good. The cars/cart were solid and inexpensive, and the men who we rented them through (including Salem who runs the branch) were all completely lovely and helpful. They also had great recommendations for stops to make on our trip.

So does AQ give you a cell phone with a belize phone number that can only call within the country? Or do they give you a phone that can call outside the US? And is it actually free?
Written 5 July 2018
They give you a phone for emergency purposes. It's a law in Belize that they do this. It comes with a limited amount of "free" time on it.
