What happens if I need to cancel my San José car reservation?
We appreciate that flexibility is important. That’s why many prepaid rentals give a full refund if you let us know six hours prior to collecting the car. You may want to scan your rental policy though as there are some exclusions. If the information isn’t there, have a look on our Customer Service Portal.
What types of cars can I rent in San José?
Not too small yet not too big, compact vehicles are the first choice for many visiting motorists in San José. With terrific mileage and easy handling and parking, they’re ideal for getting around the city. A compact is slightly more spacious than an economy vehicle, which means you can get around in a little more comfort and style. Prefer something bigger?
