Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
Whether or not you can rent a car if you are under 25 in San José often depends on the rental provider you select.

This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may need you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you’re covered for and whether you need it.
