What do you need to rent a car in Costa Rica?
While terms and conditions can differ between rental car outlets, the two things you’ll need are a current driver’s license and a credit card in your name. You don’t need to take out the company’s auto insurance. However, proof of alternative coverage may be necessary.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in Costa Rica?
Whether you have plans to stay in Costa Rica or travel beyond, it’s easy to reserve a long-term rental with Expedia. Enter your trip details and pick-up/drop-off locations and we’ll find you fantastic long-term car rental deals.
Where can I find a Costa Rica car rental if I am younger than 25?
You’ll need to look up the age policy of the Costa Rica rental providers you’re interested in. If you’re under 25, some outlets will charge extra fees. It’s good to know about this in advance so you can have the funds ready. Each rental car company has its own policies for younger drivers, so be sure to do your research.
