Quick answer
How to rent a vehicle in Puerto Escondido with KORU comes down to four steps, and three of them happen online: you book and pay the full amount on korurent.com by card or Apple Pay, verify your license with a selfie and sign the contract. The fourth is on handover day: you authorize the deposit from your account, if there is one, and give the provider your PIN in person. Each day is 24 hours, and you can book for today if a vehicle is available.
How to rent a vehicle in Puerto Escondido with KORU
Online and in writing: renting with KORU is closer to booking a hotel than haggling on the street, because the price, the dates and the contract are settled before you ever see the vehicle. KORU is a platform of verified local providers. We handle the payment, draw up the contract and give you support; the provider hands you the vehicle. To book, you leave your first name, last name and email, and we don't ask for a phone number. The steps are the same for any listed vehicle, whether it's a scooter, an ATV or a car.
How do you pay for the rental, and what's not accepted?
You pay in full when you book, by card or Apple Pay, although people often ask us if they can pay part now and the rest on arrival. The charge is in Mexican pesos, on Stripe's secure page. We don't take cash or transfers, and there are no monthly installment plans. The daily price is on each vehicle's page; VAT is added at checkout and you see the exact total before paying, so there's nothing left to pay at handover. From 4 rental days on there may be a discount, depending on the provider. There are no coupons.
What happens after you pay: license, contract and PIN
Verification takes about 2 minutes and you do it online with Didit: photos of the front and back of your license and a selfie with a liveness check, which is matched against the photo on your license. All we ask for is a valid driver's license, from Mexico or any other country. The contract is issued in the name on your license, and once you sign it, the rental is confirmed. On handover day you authorize the deposit from your account, if there is one, and give the provider your PIN, the 4-digit code in your payment confirmation email, only once the vehicle is right in front of you. Our advice: verify and sign the same day you pay.
24-hour days, same-day bookings and handover time
Nothing here is sold by the hour: each day is 24 hours from the moment you pick up the vehicle, and you bring it back at that same time. The minimum is 1 day and the maximum, 30 per rental. Same-day works if a vehicle is available and the pickup is at least 30 minutes after you book. You choose the time when you book, in 15-minute slots, within each provider's hours: there's no fixed schedule for everyone. Whether it can be brought to where you're staying depends on the vehicle and the provider; the cost varies by location, and the team confirms it beforehand.
Changes, cancellations and the costs that are on you
If your flight moves, request the change from your rental in your korurent.com account before handover: if the provider accepts it, we'll let you know the price difference, if there is one. Fines, traffic tickets and highway tolls are on you. Only the people registered in the contract can drive; an additional driver costs extra and the team confirms it. Helmets are included with motorbikes, scooters and ATVs. Ask the team about each vehicle's coverage before you book.
Heads up
Cancelling always comes with a charge, and how much you pay depends on how far in advance you do it. If KORU or the provider cancels, it costs you nothing. So before paying, lock in your dates and your flight.
“Show up with your license verified and your contract signed. That way, on handover day all that's left is the deposit, if there is one, and your PIN. The paperwork gets sorted beforehand and calmly, not on the sidewalk under a blazing sun.”

It depends on the vehicle, and you see it before paying. It's not a charge: it's a hold on your card, which can be a different one, and you authorize it on handover day. With no damage or pending charges, it's released after the return is checked; then your bank may take a few days.
