Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
This will depend on the rental companies operating in San José. They often have different age policies. If you’ve found a supplier that does cater to drivers under the age of 25, be aware that extra costs may apply. Conduct some research into what those charges could be before booking your rental car.
