Hiring a Car in Costa Rica: Good to Know

How to Find the Cheap Car Hire Deal in Costa Rica

Choose a fuel policy that saves you money.

When renting a car from Costa Rica, choose a car hire 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.
Choose a cost-effective car hire fuel policy

Review Car Size and Type

Select a car that fits your needs in terms of size and type, especially if you're traveling with luggage or a group.
Choose the right vehicle for your needs

Choose Convenient Pickup Locations

Select a pickup location that is convenient for you. Some rental companies offer locations within the airport for quick access, while others may require shuttle transportation.

Fuel Policies: Full-to-Full vs. Same-to-Same

When renting a car, understand the fuel policy. A 'Full-to-Full' policy means you return the car with a full tank, while 'Same-to-Same' means you return it with the same level of fuel. Full-to-Full is often more cost-effective.
