Frequently asked questions

How much is a rental car per day in San Rafael?
The lowest daily rate for a rental car in San Rafael within the past seven days was $2. With the flexibility of having your own vehicle, you can make your way to whichever local sights are calling your name.
Can I rent a car from Juan Santamaria Intl. Airport (SJO)?
You'll find a nice selection of rental car companies just a short commute from Juan Santamaria Intl. Airport (SJO). Alamo, Economy, Budget, Sixt and Ace will have a ride for you.
What happens if I need to cancel my San Rafael car reservation?
Don't stress! If you can cancel your prepaid booking at least six hours before the collection time, you're likely to qualify for a full refund. Be sure to scan your cancellation policy as there are some exclusions. Jump onto our Customer Service Portal if you still have questions.
Where can I go on a road trip from San Rafael?
After you've been to all of the fabulous places in San Rafael, there's plenty more to explore in the region. Pick up the keys to a rental car, toss your luggage in the trunk and get on the road. These are some drives we know you'll love:

  • Liberia is roughly 95 miles from San Rafael. Renowned sights like Liberia Parque Central deserve to be high on your must-see list while you're in town.
  • Why not see all that's on offer in Puntarenas too? Top attractions in this happening city include Puntarenas Pier. Puntarenas is approximately 40 miles from San Rafael.
  • Head to Playa Coco to reconnect with nature. Take a picnic to enjoy or just sit and unwind. From San Rafael, it's about 130 miles away.

How do I find the best car rental deals in San Rafael with Expedia?
Expedia makes it easy to compare prices, offers and providers, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your San Rafael car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you'll save even more.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San Rafael?
San Rafael requires drivers to be 21 and above to be able to rent a vehicle. However, young drivers will be subject to an extra cost and some restrictions. Many outlets impose a young renter fee on top of the usual rental rate. This covers the extra risk of damage or accident. While many car classes (like compact and economy) are available to young drivers, restrictions generally apply to specialty cars.
What do you need to rent a car in San Rafael?
Any rental company you select will need these two things — a valid driver's license and credit card. If you'd like to opt out of the supplier's insurance plan, proof of your own coverage may also be needed. Check your policy so you know what to bring when it's time to collect your car.
What is the cheapest car rental in San Rafael?
$2 and $8 were the two lowest daily rates picked up by car rental customers in San Rafael within the past seven days. These rates were available on Expedia, with a rental starting date within the next year. Prices and availability are subject to change and additional terms apply.
Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San Rafael?
Yes, so you won't have to rebook a rental car mid-vacation. Visit our long-term car rental deals page, enter your travel dates and find a set of wheels to call your own for the duration of your getaway.
Where can I find a San Rafael car rental if I am younger than 25?
This depends on the rental car companies that are found in San Rafael. They often have different age policies. If you've found a supplier that does cater to drivers under 25, keep in mind that additional fees may apply. Do some research into what those charges could be before picking up the keys to your vehicle.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Rafael?
Start your road trip right by choosing Expedia's collision protection. While there are many types of car rental insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for theft, vandalism and collision damage up to $35,000, as well as round-the-clock emergency assistance. Don't wait until you get to the rental desk to insure your ride. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your San Rafael ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in San Rafael with my current driver's license?
If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you may need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. You should also 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 identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your driver's license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places to rent a car. If you're younger, it might still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to the types of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before you drive away. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or on off-road areas with a rental vehicle.
