Car Rental In Costa Rica
Vehicle rental in Costa Rica.
The Costa Rican territory has a pretty developed road system in tourist zones but we cannot forget that Costa Rica is a tropical, mountainous country due to which terrain irregularity and en-route distractions make the journey slower than what you could calculate in relation to the mileage to cover. For example, a trip from Liberia to San José has close to 200 kms where travel apps estimate a 4 hour duration, can actually take closer to 6 hours. Because of this, we recommend you plan your travel route with the appropriate vehicle and plan for journeys with extra time to enjoy driving in Costa Rica.
The requirements:The minimum age varies between 21 and 25 years old according to the company you choose, due to insurance policies.
Valid driver 's license for 4-wheeled vehicles. If you visit Costa Rica as a tourist, your license will be valid for a maximum of 180 days or what has been indicated in the immigration office’s stamp on your passport during entry to Costa Rica. Foreigners with a residence ID must equiparate their foreign driver’s license or qualify to obtain their Costa Rican driver’s license.
National ID card, passport, or residency permit.
Credit card for the guarantee deposit (from$100 USD to $5000 USD) according to the conditions of the renting company of your choice. Normally, they must be Visa, American Express or MasterCard.
