National Car Hire in Costa Rica

Before your trip, confirm if your rental includes roadside assistance. This can be crucial in case of breakdowns or emergencies during your rental period.

Choosing the right mileage and fuel policy can make a big difference. Opt for a full-to-full fuel policy to avoid refuelling before your journey. If you're planning a long road trip, select a deal with unlimited mileage to prevent unexpected charges. Begin your search and check 'Unlimited mileage' under 'Mileagae Policies'.

Before renting a car, check if your personal car insurance covers rental losses. Many personal auto insurance policies and credit cards offer coverage for rentals, which could save you from extra insurance fees.

If sharing driving responsibilities, check the policies regarding additional drivers. Some companies charge fees for each extra driver, while others may include it for free under certain conditions.

When selecting insurance, consider whether it includes free excess coverage. Free excess means you won’t pay a deductible in case of damage, providing additional peace of mind. Compare options to find the best fit for your needs.
