How do I find the best car rental deals in San José with Expedia?
Expedia makes it a cinch to compare prices, offers and rental providers, and to check customer recommendations. Bundle your San José car rental with hotel or flight bookings and you can make even bigger savings.
How old do you have to be to rent a car in San José?
Rental vehicle rules in San José require drivers to be 21 and above. Are you a younger driver? A few surcharges and restrictions may apply. Many rental companies impose what's known as a young renter surcharge, which is an extra fee to the car rental cost. Restrictions usually apply to the classes of cars young motorists can rent as well. Age limits may vary between outlets, so check before you book.
What do you need to rent a car in San José?
Two things — a valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name. Car rental companies will offer you insurance, which is optional. But you may be asked to provide proof of alternative coverage if you prefer to opt out. Check with your supplier to avoid any problems.
What side of the road do you drive on in San José?
Like the U.S, you'll need to drive on the right in Argentina. But that doesn't mean other rules are the same. Brush up on the traffic regulations before you hit the road in San José.
What is the cheapest car rental in San José?
With car rental rates starting from just and a day in San José within the past seven days, you'll be cruising off with your own incredible deal in no time.

Can I rent a car for a month or longer in San José?
You can. We partner with trusted companies that offer long-term rentals for a wide range of cars. Pick up one of our long-term car rental deals and explore every corner of San José — or beyond!
Where can I find a San José car rental if I am younger than 25?
Age policies differ between rental suppliers, so be prepared to do some research. Found a San José outlet that does rent to drivers under 25? That's great! Just be aware that a surcharge often applies to drivers aged between 21 and 24. The fine print of each rental car you're interested in will have all the details you need.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San José?
Start your road trip on the right foot by purchasing Expedia's collision protection. While there are all sorts of insurance, this is one you'll need to have. It provides primary coverage for vandalism, accident damage and theft up to $35,000, as well as 24/7 emergency support. Don't wait until you reach the rental desk to insure your car. Opt in to collision protection while reserving your San José ride with Expedia and save money and time.
Can I drive in San José with my current driver's license?
If you don't possess a driver's license issued in Argentina, then you might need to get an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence in order to rent a car. It's also important to note that if you do need an IDP, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current license your passport and other forms of identification as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental matches the name on your driver's license and passport. A few other things to note to rent a car internationally are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or older in most places to rent a car. If you're younger than that, 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: Be sure to read the rules and regulations before you drive off the lot. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental vehicle.
