The surcharge, and which age range it applies to, differs between suppliers. It's a good idea to compare the rules.

Question 10

Where can I find a San Miguel car rental if I am younger than 25?

Accepted Answer

You'll need to look up the age policy of the San Miguel rental providers you're considering. If you're under 25 years old, be aware that some will charge additional fees. It's ideal to know about this in advance so you can tailor your budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own terms and conditions for young drivers, so it'd be wise to do your research.

Question 11

What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San Miguel?

After meticulously planning your escape, don't scrimp on your insurance — add collision protection while booking your San Miguel rental vehicle with Expedia. There are many benefits to this plan, including up to $35,000 in primary coverage for collision damage, theft and vandalism. Plus, with no deductible and 24/7 emergency help, you can breathe a little easier should a mishap occur.

Question 12

Can I drive in San Miguel with my current driver's license?

Accepted Answer

If you don't hold a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your home country to be allowed to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll be asked to show your current license your passport and other forms of ID 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 additional requirements to rent a car internationally are:

Age restrictions: You'll need to be 25 or over 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 vehicles you can rent.
Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before getting behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with your rental car.
