How old do you have to be to rent a car in Alajuela?
The minimum age is 21. But there are several age-related requirements you should bear in mind before you reserve your wheels in Alajuela. If you're a younger motorist, rental providers will likely charge an extra fee and limit the types of vehicles you can rent. The exact surcharge, and which ages it applies to, differs between companies. It's a good idea to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in Alajuela?
Renting a car in Alajuela is a cinch. Generally, all you'll need is a valid driver's license and a credit card in your name. After choosing your wheels, read your policy to make sure there are no extra requirements before pickup.
What is the cheapest car rental in Alajuela?
With car rental rates beginning at just $2 and $5 a day in Alajuela within the past seven days, you'll be zooming away with your own fantastic deal in next to no time. 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 Alajuela?
Yes, which means you won't need to rebook a rental vehicle mid-vacation. Head over to our long-term car rental deals page, enter your trip information and book a set of wheels to call your own for the length of your escape.
Where can I find an Alajuela car rental if I am younger than 25?
You'll need to investigate the age policy of the Alajuela rental providers you're interested in. If you're under the age of 25, some will charge extra costs. It's handy to know about this before arriving at the desk so you can budget accordingly. Each rental car company has its own policies for young drivers, so it pays to do your research.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in Alajuela?
For a safe, stress-free road trip, add Expedia's collision damage protection to your car rental reservation. This insurance covers your vehicle against vandalism, accident damage and theft. It also provides round-the-clock emergency support in times of need. Opt in to this insurance while finalizing your Alajuela ride with Expedia and save time and money at the rental desk.
Can I drive in Alajuela with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Costa Rica, then you might need to apply for an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider that if an IDP is required, it won't be valid on its own. You'll need to show your current driver's license your passport and other forms of ID as well. Lastly, it's important that the credit card you used to book the rental vehicle matches the name on your license and passport. Some added requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You must be at least 25 in many countries 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: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. Usually, you can't cross country borders, drive onto ferries or off road with a rental car.
