Rental Car

Rental Car

Airport Rental Vehicles Options include: Alamo, Budget, Enterprise, Hertz, National
The villas do not help with booking Airport rental cars. Booking a rental car is the responsibility of the guest. Parking at the villa is limited, but available. You will need to discuss with your villa concierge if planning to have a rental car. A car with four-wheel drive is typically recommended for Costa Rica. However, the main routes from both airports are paved and generally do not require four-wheel drive. If you plan to explore off the main roads or visit more remote areas, it's best to rent a vehicle with four-wheel drive to be safe. Tip: If you are planning to rent a car, consider researching rental car insurance options, such as those offered by your credit card company, as this can help you save on costs.
