How old do you have to be to rent a car in San José?

If you're a young motorist, rental providers will likely charge an additional fee and limit the kinds of vehicles you can rent. This size of the surcharge, and which ages it applies to, varies between outlets. Take your time to compare the requirements.
What do you need to rent a car in San José?
A valid driver's license and a credit card in the same name are essentials. Don't want to take out the company's insurance plan? Then you may also need proof of your own coverage. The requirements may differ between rental suppliers, so read your policy thoroughly.

Some San José outlets will rent to drivers under 25, and others won't. Age policies differ from supplier to supplier, so you should do your homework. Also, find out if there are additional costs. Some outlets will apply a surcharge to young drivers between the ages of 21 and 24. Make sure you read through the terms and conditions to avoid any surprise fees.
What insurance should I choose for my car rental in San José?
A thorough insurance policy is a smart choice for your upcoming San José vacation. That's why we recommend adding collision protection while reserving your car rental with Expedia. This covers your vehicle from theft, vandalism and collision damage. Some destinations may require you to have a minimum level of liability insurance. This might be included in your rental price or your personal auto insurance, so check what you're covered for and if you need it.
Can I drive in San José with my current driver's license?
If you don't have a driver's license issued in Argentina, then it's likely you'll need to acquire an International Driving Permit (IDP) in your place of residence to be able to rent a car. Please also consider 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 matches the name on your license and passport. Some additional requirements for international car rentals are:

  • Age restrictions: You need to be 25 or over in many countries to rent a car. If you're younger, it may still be possible to rent a car but you'll have to pay a Young Driver's Surcharge. Additional restrictions may also apply to what kinds of cars you can rent.
  • Driving limitations: Make sure you read the fine print before sliding behind the wheel. With rental cars, you usually can't cross country borders, drive on ferries or off road with a rental car.
