Frequently asked questions

What happens if I need to cancel my Costa Rica car reservation?
When you cancel at least six hours in advance of the collection time, most reservations qualify for a full refund. However, not all are eligible for this, so it's important to familiarize yourself with the rental policy. Check your itinerary for the details or click through to our Customer Service Portal for more information.

What do you need to rent a car in Costa Rica?
Two things — your driver's license and a credit card in your name. Many car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may have to provide proof of other coverage if you choose to opt out. Be sure to check with your rental provider to avoid any problems.
Can I drive in Costa Rica with my U.S. Driver's license?
You can motor around Costa Rica with a valid U.S. License. But if you want peace of mind, obtain an International Driving Permit before you take off. It's another useful form of identification to have in your wallet.

Click through to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip details and then lock in your perfect ride. Whether you're basing yourself in Costa Rica or plan to journey beyond, Expedia will help you find a long-term rental at a fabulous rate.
Where can I find a Costa Rica car rental if I am younger than 25?
If you're a younger driver hoping to book a rental in Costa Rica, we suggest reading the terms and conditions of the various rental companies you're interested in. Some may rent to drivers under the age of 25, some may not. There may be additional costs if you're between 21 and 24 years old. To escape any surprise fees and charges at the rental counter, make sure you know exactly what to expect.
