Hiring a Car in Costa Rica: Good to Know

How to Find the Cheap Car Rental Deal in Costa Rica

Learn about parking rules and fees in Costa Rica to avoid fines or towing during your rental period.
Familiarize yourself with parking regulations

Confirm Payment Methods

Many rental companies require payment by credit card and may not accept debit cards. If you only have a debit card, check the rental company's payment policies in advance and look for suitable options.
Choose the right payment option

Consider in-terminal car rental company for convenience.

Choose a fuel policy that saves you money.

When renting a car from Costa Rica, choose a car rental deal with a “Full-to-Full” or “Same-to-Same” fuel policy from suppliers like Ace, Dollar, Sixt,Alamo, These policies ensure you only pay for the fuel you use, helping you avoid unnecessary costs. While a “Full-to-Empty” policy might seem convenient, it can often be more expensive if you don’t use all the fuel.
