Car Hire with Costa Rentacar

Research any toll roads along your travel path and understand their payment methods. Some rental firms provide toll transponders for added convenience.

Research fuel prices in the area where you'll return the vehicle. Filling up at a local station may be cheaper than paying for fuel through the rental company, especially if they charge higher rates.

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.

Before leaving the rental location, inspect the car for any existing damage and ensure it’s documented. Take photos if necessary to avoid disputes when returning the vehicle.

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.

When evaluating insurance, consider options that include free excess coverage, meaning you won’t pay a deductible for damages, offering additional reassurance.

If you're looking for more comfort or features, inquire about upgrade options at the rental desk. Sometimes, upgrades are offered at a discounted rate at pickup.

Some rentals impose mileage caps, while others offer unlimited mileage. Read the policies carefully to avoid unexpected fees at the end of your rental.
