Explore Costa Rica your way with a rental car. If you want real freedom on your trip, renting a car is a must. No fixed schedules, no crowded tours. Just you, the open road, and the flexibility to go wherever you want, whenever you want.
Some of the most beautiful national parks you have ever seen and paradise beaches are just a short drive apart. With your own car, you can follow your curiosity and reach hidden gems that are off the beaten path.
Drive between cities like San Jose, Alajuela, Heredia, and Cartago, or head straight to the coast for stunning beaches like Playa Chiquita, Playa Cocles, and Playa Uvita. Nature lovers can explore iconic spots like Corcovado and Manuel Antonio National Parks, the Monteverde Cloud Forest, and Tortuguero, all easily accessible by car.

Yes, if you are planning on driving long distances, you can use the filters to the left of the car list page to see prices for rentals with unlimited mileage.
Yes. You simply need to choose today’s date and the time you’d like to collect the car. Please note that if you need a car at very short notice we may need to check the availability with the car rental company first.
The minimum age is 21 years old for most of the car rental companies. You can find information about the age requirements and any possible young driver fees in the terms and conditions of each offer and also on your rental voucher.
The main driver needs these four documents to be able to collect the car (all must be original documents and in the drivers' name): a credit card with embossed numbers and sufficient credit to cover the deposit amount and any extras, passport or ID card, full driving license and the rental voucher.
Please note you will need to bring your voucher to the pick up office to be able to collect your car. We suggest you print it out to speed up the pick up process.
You can check if taking your car abroad is allowed in the terms and conditions of each offer and in your booking voucher.
If you want to return the vehicle to a different office than the one it was collected from you need to choose the ‘one way’ option when making your booking. To do this you need to unclick the ‘Return the car to the same location’ box and select where you’d like to return the car. Our search engine will automatically inform you if the route you have chosen is possible. The rental company normally charges a ‘one-way’ fee for returning the car to a different office. If this is the case, it is explained in the conditions before booking and again on the rental voucher.
In most cases the main driver needs a credit card in order to rent a car. Sometimes it is also possible to pay with a debit card. In this case you should contact us and we will try to find a solution.
