Some Costa Rica companies will rent to drivers under 25 years of age, and others won’t. Policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you’ll have to do your homework. Also, find out if there are extra costs. Some businesses will have a surcharge for young customers between the ages of 21 and 24. Always read through the terms and conditions to avoid any nasty surprises.
