Just take note that extra charges often apply to drivers between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're considering should have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Arenal?
A comprehensive insurance plan is a fantastic idea for your upcoming Arenal adventure. That's why we recommend opting in to collision protection while reserving your rental car with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and accident damage. Some destinations may require a minimum level of liability insurance. This may already be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in Arenal with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Spain, then you'll likely need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it has no validity on its own. You'll need to show your driver's license from your home country your passport and other forms of documentation as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. A few other things to note for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in most countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the rules and regulations before driving away. Typically, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or go off-roading with your rental car.
